Life with ADHD and executive dysfunction can feel like a constant uphill battle, endless to-do lists, forgotten tasks, or the overwhelming sense of never quite catching up. If you’ve been feeling stuck, frustrated, or unsure how to move forward, you’re not alone. I specialize in helping individuals with ADHD navigate these challenges, offering tools and strategies tailored to how your brain works. I provide neurodiversity-affirming care, including comprehensive ADHD + Autism evaluations with detailed reports that give you a clearer understanding of your strengths and areas for growth.
Working with me isn’t about perfection; it’s about progress. Together, we’ll explore what works best for you, finding practical solutions to the stress, chaos, and self-doubt. My approach focus' on your unique needs, blending humor, creativity, and understanding in a space where you feel safe to show up as your authentic self.
Come as you are: messy hair, comfy clothes, or straight from work (snacks and coffee welcome!). At this time, I’m focusing on ADHD and Autism evaluations for new clients, but don’t worry, I have an amazing team ready to provide ongoing therapy! They share a similar approach to mine and would love to support you on your journey.

Kelli is one of the most competent leaders and practitioners I know. My favorite thing about Kelli is she is able to support you but still tell you how it is. I know her to commit to specializing in her passions...and she's excellent at her specialties.

The most important part of therapy is feeling comfortable and safe with your therapist. I make this my highest priority and present myself as "human" to all of my clients. We are all navigating challenging stuff, you deserve someone to feel it with you.
