I have spent over 20 years investigating how physical health, mental health, and systemic environments intersect—first as a researcher focused on health disparities, and for the past decade as a licensed psychologist. What I see in my practice is a recurring pattern: high-achieving adults come in with an ADHD diagnosis, having tried the standard interventions, yet they are still struggling.

In my experience, when we look at ADHD in a silo, we miss the ‘Hidden Layers’ that disproportionately impact underserved populations. When we dig deeper, we often find that for many people, it’s not just ADHD. There can be overlap with sleep issues, hormonal changes (such as menopause, perimenopause, pregnancy or postpartum), or chronic stress patterns. Many of my clients come in with a long list of concerns and aren’t sure what’s driving what. You might find yourself wondering whether a particular thing you’re dealing with is the result of ADHD, something else, or a combination of several things interacting at once.

As a psychologist specializing in Adult ADHD, I combine CBT, Mindfulness, and Brainspotting to address both the practical and underlying pieces of what you’re dealing with. Yes, I use executive function strategies, but I integrate them with therapeutic techniques because that’s where I get the best results for my clients. We work on making sense of how your patterns fit together, while also building concrete strategies that actually work for your brain—whether that’s improving how you approach time management, learning strategies to deal with overwhelm, or getting clearer on where to focus your energy.
