I am a pediatrician and mom of three boys.

My eldest has ADHD. As a young mom, I felt overwhelmed and helpless. I was a pediatrician, for crying out loud, why couldn’t I find effective ways to parent my own son?

Now, I have counseled hundreds of moms parenting kids with ADHD. I have more than 17 years of experience, and, more importantly, I have personally lived this experience.

It is possible to create calm and connection with your son and in your home. I know it, because I did it. When we work together, I will offer you invaluable service from the perspective of a life coach, a pediatrician and as someone who has been in your shoes.

I am so excited to work together and help you and your family thrive!

  • "I had almost given up on having a relationship with my 15 year-old ADHD son. Everyone was miserable. But, 3 weeks into the program, I noticed small changes. I initially thought it was a fluke, but week by week, things continued to improve. By the end of the program, it was like he was a different child. Working with Carol saved our relationship."
