If you follow my blog with any regularity you may have wondered where I’ve been since my last blog entry wishing you a Happy New Year? Where on earth has the month of January gone?

Upon returning home to Asheville, NC I was greeted by bone chilling winter weather – snow, ice, cancellations, disruption of schedules, routines and… well you get the picture.

The exciting news is the that January marked the official opening of my NEW ADHD Clinic in Asheville, NC.
