I’m grateful for the opportunity to contribute to this conversation and to help raise awareness about the challenges people with ADHD face when access to treatment is disrupted.

I was recently interviewed by a fantastic journalist, Renée Fabian for the site Understood.org to discuss an important topic, the ongoing ADHD medication shortage. This shortage is affecting a large number of people and their families.

Are you a elite athlete or executive looking to take your game to the next level?

I work with pro athletes and high-level execs, and if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s this: your mental game makes or breaks your performance when the pressure’s on.

In this video, I’m sharing 3 strategies I use every day with my clients to help them lead better, stay focused, and perform at the highest level:

Visualization — your brain doesn’t know the difference between imagining success and actually living it.

Biofeedback — we train your nervous system to stay calm under pressure.

Goal setting with structure — because mindset matters, but so does a plan.

If you want to bring the same discipline to your mindset as you do to your training or career, I’d love to help!

Do you avoid dating, social gathers, or work meetings?

How often have you kicked yourself about this?

Well, perhaps it's not you. Maybe you are struggling with Social Anxiety Disorder. Learn more by watching this video and reading the article.

I specialize in helping people with social anxiety disorder. So many people suffer needlessly with social anxiety disorder because of not knowing what is going on. That is why I am passionate about getting the word out there.

Adderall + Vyvanse + Qelbree?

How are these medications different?

ADHD medications generally fall into two categories:

Stimulants

Fast-acting
Often first prescribed
Can improve focus, attention, and impulse control
Examples: Adderall, Ritalin, Vyvanse
Non-Stimulants

Take longer to show effects
May be preferred if there are side effects or coexisting anxiety
Examples: Strattera, Intuniv, Qelbree
There’s no one-size-fits-all solution. It’s normal to try different options before finding the right fit. A psychiatrist can guide that process based on your history and goals.
