Specialties: ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression.
Making the decision to start therapy is a big deal. But for therapy to work, it's important to find the right therapist who can help you get from where you are in your life now to where you'd like to be. The right "fit" matters. I partner with you to navigate the difficult life experiences and relational patterns that get in the way of where you'd like to be. Even if you don't know exactly where that is yet, but know you're not there - that's something we can work on together. I check in with you each time we meet to make sure our work fits with what matters to you. We go at a pace that matches you.

There are times in our relationships with our children that we love them, but we may not “like” them. My approach to both therapy and assessment is rooted in the belief that what is “right” about your child is stronger than what is “wrong”. By uncovering both your child’s strengths and vulnerabilities, a comprehensive treatment plan can be developed in collaboration with you and your child. My approach draws from the fields of Neuropsychology, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness and Positive Psychology.

We live in a confusing world. We spend our lives bombarded by contradicting messages about who we are supposed to be. Now, with social media, those messages have become weaponized. But at the center, each of us is a singular human being with unique needs and desires. In therapy, every client seems to arrive at the same question: who am I, exactly, and what is this whole "happiness" thing everyone keeps going on about? Depression and anxiety are symptoms of imbalances we are experiencing on a not so conscious level. In therapy, we figure out what those are, and sort them out.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
