As a man with ADHD and autism, I understand the challenges of operating in a society that was not made for you and how hard it can be to just exist.
Are you looking to work with a neurodivergent therapist who understands your unique life challenges and can identify with a lot of the same struggles as you? Someone who sees you as a human rather than a bunch of different symptoms? Maybe, you've worked with therapists before, but the vibe was never right. Maybe, you've had experiences in therapy where you were invalidated for struggles that you can't quite put words to. You deserve to work with someone who's gonna go at your pace and make you feel safe, validated, and heard when discussing the everyday battle that is neurodivergence.

I enjoy working with clients with attention issues ( ADHD), anxiety, stress, grief, and depression.
Currently accepting new clients on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. Maybe you recently noticed something just started bothering you or your child...or maybe you've been struggling with feelings you don't like for quite a while. There is lots of research that says talking about your problems with a licensed professional can be helpful. I hope I can be that person for you or your child.

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.
