ADHD Assisted Therapy Dog - In Training

Without realizing it, I’ve spent my entire adult life surrounded by ADHD. It has brought incredible energy, creativity, and spontaneity into my life, but it’s also been the source of some of my greatest challenges. While I don’t have ADHD myself, I’ve always been drawn to the lively, impulsive nature of men with ADHD—bringing both excitement and, at times, heartbreak. It wasn’t until my son, stepson, and partner were all diagnosed with ADHD that I began to truly understand its genetic nature as well as its impact on relationships and family life.

As I committed to learning everything I could about ADHD, I saw the missed opportunities for connection, understanding, and change in my own life. This inspired me to shift my focus and dedicate my work to helping others navigate ADHD’s unique challenges with empathy and practical strategies.

I started my relationship coaching practice in 2019 and founded Sinaps in January 2024 to specialize in supporting adults and families impacted by ADHD. My mission is to help parents, couples, and individuals create balance, rebuild connection, and thrive in love, compassion, and understanding despite an ADHD Diagnosis.

Originally from Vancouver, Canada, I’ve called Zürich home since 2001. I now live in the stunning Zürioberland with my partner René, our two boys, and our ADHD therapy dog in training, ICE.

My Story… continued from Home page

My son was diagnosed with ADHD and shortly after his son as well.  While researching ADHD, I came across the genetic link and learned that

When a child has ADHD there is a very high likelihood (75-80%) that one of the parents has it as well.

Learning this I suddenly realised that had to be the key to our problems and we both agreed to get tested.

With a diagnosis in hand but unable to find the support we needed, I began to study and learn everything I could about Adult ADHD and ADHD impacted relationships, going straight to the world's leading experts. I realised that to save our relationship we would need to do things differently, and the standard solutions to fix struggling relationships were unlikely to help us. It was no wonder that the approach we had been taking was making things worse. Without being able to pinpoint the impact that ADHD was having, we were focusing on all the wrong issues.

Today, our relationship is stronger than ever and I now help other couples impacted by ADHD transform their lives.

Once you understand the impact that an ADHD diagnosis can have on you as a couple, you can start to work on the real cause of your problems. I believe that so many relationships could be saved if people were more aware that Adult ADHD is real and when left untreated can have a devastating impact on a relationship and marriage. The good news is though, that when you take the step to get diagnosed and find the right treatment and support you can not only save your relationship but rebuild it stronger than ever before. 

If we can do it so can you!
