You might be familiar with the weight of anxiety, the challenges of ADHD, or the relentless grip of negative thinking patterns and perfectionism. Navigating these issues can be especially challenging for children and their parents. We (my therapy dog and I) specialize in providing support for individuals of all ages grappling with anxiety and/or ADHD, as well as offering support for parents navigating these challenges within their homes to bring my clients more joy, peace, and confidence.

I have worked with a variety of presenting issues including: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, trauma, anxiety, self-esteem, mood disorders and coping techniques.
For me, psychotherapy begins with trust. My approach is collaborative and empathic. I have nine years’ experience in working with children, adolescents, and their families. I love helping children and their families find their self-worth and expressing their true feelings in ways that they can understand one another. I utilize my training and experience in child development studies to help children/adolescents and guardians understand each other in appropriate ways. I keep in mind that each child and family is unique, seeking to understand without judgement.

I am a trauma-informed provider who supports individuals and couples navigating grief/loss, conflict, trauma and transition. I am passionate about supporting folks identifying with neurodiversity (eg. autistic, AuDH, diagnosed with ADHD, etc ). Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

All of these techniques are applied at a pace set by both the client and counselor. I use cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, and gestalt therapy as the leading frameworks to help my clients.

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.
