Who
we are

Placeholder

" I have a passion for working with children and adults diagnosed with ADHD. This often misdiagnosed and under-reported neurodevelopment disorder is stigmatized and misrepresented as being “lazy” or “unmotivated”, while understating the extreme barriers that contribute to one’s ability to meet societal norms of being goal or task oriented and organized. I love to help clients see the magic of their A-Typical Brains and bring light to all of the various challenges that a person with ADHD encounters in day to day life. Learning to leverage their differences as an asset and not a deficit by assisting them in creating opportunities for growth and success; through development of adaptive coping skills.”

“Additionally, as a former Law Enforcement Officer, I am passionate about assisting those who have served as first responders and in the military; treating PTSD, and a focus on vicarious trauma.”
