He views ADHD as a strength and a gift. Working with clients where they are at in their own personal journey, Al’s goal is to support each individual in recognizing their “superpower” and embracing the benefits of ADHD.

He creates a safe place for individuals to grow, by teaching systems, structures and tools using an evidence based, solution oriented, goal setting approach, which celebrates client strengths, individualities and lived experiences.
