My Story

I earned my Doctorate degree as a Nurse Practitioner (DNP) from the University of San Francisco and am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with several years of clinical experience working with patients across the severity scale of mental health. I began to specialize in ADHD assessment, diagnosis, and treatment almost immediately in my clinical practice after recognizing how many cases of depression and anxiety actually originated from undiagnosed ADHD. With my clinical expertise, I created an adult ADHD assessment clinic within my organization, supporting referrals from 150+ psychiatric providers and conducting over 2000 ADHD evaluations. I am a contributing author for ADDitude magazine as well as the textbook “Management of ADHD and Comorbidities in Children and Adults: A Practical Guide for Advance Practice Nurses and Healthcare Providers”.

I have worked with patients across the socio-economic spectrum and levels of ADHD severity, ranging from those with substance use history and homelessness to CEOs and other high-level professionals. My passion is to empower individuals with ADHD through education and coaching by providing; an understanding of the neurobiological underpinnings of ADHD, an ability to identify the origins of problematic traits and how to “hack the system”, the collaborative creation of personalized habits, routines, and coping strategies that are sustainable and become part of your daily routine, regardless of challenge or obligation. Allow me to help you with long term, positive changes that unlock your potential.
