I have extensive experience working with people who are diagnosed with ADHD. In my clinical work, I have assessed greater than a hundred clients with an ADHD referral.

Additionally, I have had adults diagnosed with ADHD in my college and university classes. I have a Master’s in General Psychology, a Doctor of Psychology degree in Clinical Psychology. Did you know there are different types of attention deficits, each having interventions that more successfully treat that type? Sensory processing disorders, severe allergies, sleep problems, and other processing disorders can mimic, or if concurrent, make treatment less successful. When we discover the subtype of attention deficit, or the presence or absence of another disorder, the efficacy of the intervention is increased.
