Hi, I’m Riyon
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor.
My journey with ADHD has deeply shaped my perspective. Being diagnosed at 44 was both a relief and a revelation, helping me make sense of lifelong challenges with focus, impulsivity, and emotional regulation—struggles that were often misunderstood or dismissed in childhood.
Like many adults who receive a late diagnosis, I gained clarity on past difficulties in school, work, and relationships, realizing they were not personal failures but part of an undiagnosed condition. This experience fuels my passion for helping others navigate their mental health with understanding and self-compassion.
