About

Hey, I'm David.

Psychologist. ADHD & executive functioning coach. Laid-back, good listener, easy to talk to, because I'm not judgmental.

I've spent thousands of hours sitting with smart, high-achieving adults with ADHD. My background covers psychology: cognition, behavior change, executive functioning. Plus low-stress productivity and operational excellence tools (Lean, Theory of Constraints), and a practical, hype-free relationship with AI tools.
