Message to clients

Hello, I'm Dr. Carole. I specialize in helping Women with ADHD because I personally empathize with your experiences: Feeling like a human pinball machine bouncing from task to task and nothing gets done. Hiding behind a mask to face the world. Problems with sleep. Forgetting important appointments and events. Constantly juggling but someone keeps throwing you more balls to keep in the air. Having a tornado inside with thoughts and feelings swirling around uncontrollably. Fluctuating hormones sends you on an emotional roller coaster. But you're not alone anymore. We can work together to calm the storm.

Imagine this: Having a clear idea of what needs to be done and a plan for accomplishing it. Getting to events on time. Completing one task before starting another. Remembering details. Fully engaging in interests and social activities. Your body feeling relaxed. Waking up feeling rested. Having meaningful connections with friends and family, as you feel present and able to communicate effectively.

I offer late-night appointments to ensure you can get the help you deserve without disrupting your day. With convenient online therapy sessions available throughout California, I can accommodate your busy and unpredictable schedule, even as late as 10:00 pm. Contact me today for a free phone consultation.
