Do you frequently misplace your keys, forget to turn off the stoves, have difficulty maintaining relationship, or find it hard to complete tasks at work and at home? You might have someone close to you suggest that you may have ADHD. Whatever the case may be, obtaining a proper diagnosis of ADHD is the first step towards getting treatment. Understanding and gaining control over symptoms that impact your personal and professional life is a transformative experience.

Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD can be empowering as it offers an explanation for your past experiences. Treatment for ADHD can include lifestyle changes, medication, therapy, coaching, and often includes more than one component to have a more successful impact.

For medical consultations, I am licensed in California and see adults (age 18 and over) residing in California.

For coaching, I see clients at various stages of life (adults and children) anywhere.
