For many years, I have led a popular Adult ADHD group in Palo Alto. Through that, I've learned that many people in surrounding areas also need such a group. Throughout 13 years of nationally advocating for greater Adult ADHD awareness and treatment standards, I've gained a broad and detailed body of knowledge about ADHD challenges and treatment strategies. As the author of a bestselling book on Adult ADHD (Is It You. Me, or Adult A.D.D.?) and international speaker on the topic who has no third-p …

I'm starting this group because I believe that the best way to make positive lasting change around better managing symptoms of ADD is with the support of 1) a qualified coach, and 2) a group of people who share their stories and learn from each other.
