About me
I work with adolescents, adults, and couples navigating ADHD and other forms of neurodivergence especially when it shows up as anxiety, mood swings, impulsivity, disconnection, or conflict in relationships.
If you’re living with ADHD or feeling overwhelmed by constant mental noise, emotional intensity, or relationship strain, you don’t have to keep managing it alone. I specialize in identifying and treating ADHD across the lifespan, including when it co-occurs with anxiety, bipolar disorder, borderline personality traits, and trauma. Together, we explore how your brain works, how your environment has shaped you, and how your relationships are impacted. You’ll gain practical tools to improve focus, emotional regulation, and follow-through while building a more compassionate understanding of yourself or your partner.
