If this sounds familiar

You've been working twice as hard just to look "fine."

You reread the same paragraph five times and still can't say what it said. The systems that used to hold your life together have stopped working, and you don't know why. Or maybe it's your kid — the school is frustrated, home feels like a pressure cooker, and you're quietly wondering if it's somehow your fault.

You've read the articles. You've taken the online quizzes. But you still don't know whether this is ADHD, anxiety, burnout, hormones, or something else. You deserve more than a guess. You deserve clarity.

What makes this different

Thorough, not trendy.

Most ADHD evaluations amount to a short checklist and a fifteen-minute conversation. That's not how the brain works, and it's not how I work. A real evaluation sorts ADHD from the conditions that mimic it — and ends with a plan, not just a label.

01

In-depth clinical interview

Your history, in your words — not a form.

02

Standardized testing, including the TOVA

Objective measures of attention and impulsivity.

03

Input from the people who know you best

Collateral perspectives from family or teachers.

04

Careful differential diagnosis

Separating ADHD from anxiety, trauma, and more.

05

A written report with a clear roadmap

What was found, and exactly what to do next.
