The family unit. It sounds simple on paper, but how do you really work together as a family, especially when one or more family members have ADHD? Do you know how to run optimally as a family when someone is struggling?

Her unique perspective – as a sibling in an ADHD home, combined with decades of experience as a clinical psychologist and educator/clinician consultant – assists her in guiding families and adults towards effective communication and closer connections.
