My journey with ADHD has been a lifelong adventure, though I didn’t always have a name for it. For years, I navigated life struggling with forgetfulness, lack of focus, impulsivity, chronic procrastination, disorganization, and time-blindness. Despite my struggles,  I became a pro at masking these symptoms. As an overachiever and perfectionist, I always pushed myself to be the best at whatever I did, and outwardly the world saw me as responsible and “put together”, but inside I was constantly overwhelmed, anxious, and exhausted. 

At 25, I finally realized that my ‘normal’ wasn’t normal. This realization led to seek support and initially I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety. Instead of facing those diagnosis, I stuffed them away like they didn’t exist. As a black woman, accepting that my mental health wasn’t “normal” scared me, and I wasn’t ready to face it. 

The next decade was a rollercoaster of self-medicating with food, masking, and struggling to find answers. I finally decided to get into therapy for my depression, but it wasn’t until I was 38 that I finally received my ADHD diagnosis – the missing piece of my puzzle.

My ADHD diagnosis encouraged me to learn everything about my neurodivergent mind. Suddenly everything made sense! The things I struggled with weren’t my fault, and I wasn’t a flawed human. I just navigate life differently. That clarity changed everything for me.  But it also gave me a unique perspective and deep empathy for others facing similar challenges.

Today, I combine my personal experiences with my professional knowledge in Dietetics and Positive Psychology & Behavior Change. I’m passionate about helping women with ADHD transform their relationship with food and reclaim their health.

My approach is rooted in understanding the ADHD brain and developing strategies that work with your unique wiring, not against it. Whether you’re diagnosed or suspect you might have ADHD, I’m here to guide you towards a healthier, more balanced life.

I look forward to working with you!
