A licensed clinical psychologist and AASECT-certified sex therapist with extensive experience working with individuals, couples, and families navigating neurodivergence across the lifespan. Clinical work focuses on ADHD, autism, trauma, and the relational dynamics that emerge in mixed neurotype partnerships and neurodivergent family systems.
Foundational training and early clinical work centered on human sexuality, intimacy, and relational health. Over time, this work expanded to include the study of neurodivergence, particularly ADHD in adults and its impact on identity development, emotional regulation, attachment patterns, and intimate relationships. Clinical practice integrates neuroscience, psychodynamic theory, and developmental perspectives to examine how neurodevelopmental differences shape behavior, identity, and relationships.
Professional work includes educating clinicians and the public about ADHD through workshops, presentations, writing, and clinical consultation. Current research explores the lived experiences of partners in mixed-neurotype relationships and the relational patterns that emerge as neurodivergent and neurotypical lives intersect within families.
This work emphasizes translating complex neurodevelopmental research into practical frameworks that help clinicians, couples, and families better understand the psychological and relational realities of ADHD and AuDHD.
