Welcome! I am an Anxiety Specialist and ADHD coach working with adults living in California and New York. Individuals in my practice with ADHD tend to struggle with procrastination and task completion across the board (e.g. work, home, friends, relationships, self-care, etc.), and thus tend to feel like they are not functioning as an "adult.” Things that may feel simple to other people are often not simple at all for people with ADHD, and this can be a huge source of shame. In my practice you will not be judged an ounce for that.

I work with unique individuals who are seemingly successful and happy but deep inside feel lost, alone, even if they are in a relationship, and often feel like they don't belong or struggle to be present in life.
