My treatment approach is multi-model and borrows from many different theories and practices. During my practice, I offer visual psychoeducation to allow for a deeper understanding of the ADHD brain, nervous systems and strategies. I break complex ideas down into simple visuals and teach strategies to thrive in all aspects of work and life. I believe in empowering people with evidence-based knowledge and strategies so they can accept themselves and move forward through life with their ADHD brain.
