  • That uncertainty is completely normal, especially if you've spent a long time convinced you should be able to figure things out on your own. The free consultation is a no-pressure way to ask questions, get a feel for whether this might work for you, and decide from there. You’re not committing to anything by reaching out.

  • You don't need an evaluation to start. A lot of people come in with a strong sense that something is going on, with or without formal paperwork, and that self-knowledge is genuinely valuable.

    Some people find that pursuing a formal diagnosis is useful. Others land on their own understanding of how their brain works and that's enough.

    Either way, the shortcut is real. A shortcut to understanding which parts of how your brain works have been making things harder, and to knowing what supports are most likely to help. It can save years of throwing strategies at a wall and blaming yourself when they don't stick.

  • Not at all! Some of my clients do have a formal ADHD diagnosis. Some are in the process of getting one. Some are just sitting with a strong suspicion and want to understand themselves better. Some aren’t interested in a diagnosis at all. You don't need a piece of paper to start this work. What matters is that what you're experiencing feels real and is getting in the way of the life you want.

  • If we're working together and ADHD fits what I'm seeing clinically, yes, I can add that as a diagnosis and communicate it to other providers if you’d like. What I don't offer is a standalone diagnostic evaluation, the kind where someone comes in specifically for a formal assessment and walks out with a report. That's a different kind of service. If that's what you're looking for, I can help point you toward someone who offers it.

  • Yes, anxiety and depression are both incredibly common experiences for neurodivergent folks. I work with the whole picture, not just one piece of it.

  • Yes! This comes up a lot. Many neurodivergent folks have more than one type of neurodivergence. I work with clients who are autistic, dyslexic, have ADHD, have OCD, and any combination of neurodivergent experiences. I work with the whole picture of who you are, not just one part of you.

    And if you're still figuring out what fits, you're in very good company. A lot of people come in feeling exactly the same way, and that's something we can work through together.

  • That can happen, and it's worth knowing going in. Sometimes when you start paying real attention to patterns you've been managing around for years, or making room for feelings you've been keeping at arm's length, things can feel more present and uncomfortable before they feel lighter. That's not a sign something's wrong. It's often a sign the work is reaching something real.

    I'll check in with you about how things are feeling as we go. If something feels like too much or like we've moved too fast, we'll slow down and you'll always be the one to set the pace.

  • If you're ready to find out what it feels like to stop working against yourself, the first step is simple. Head to the contact page where you’ll fill out a short form. It asks for your basic contact info and one question about what is bringing you to reach out right now.

    Once you submit the form, the confirmation page gives you a link to self-schedule your free 15-minute phone consultation at a time that works for you. If you don't see a time that fits or you'd rather coordinate by email, just reach out by email and we'll find something that works.

    The self-scheduling system will prompt you to create a quick account. This is through a HIPAA-compliant platform and just needs your name and contact info. No payment information, no paperwork, nothing like that yet. You're just picking a time.
