Update: I have daytime availability for new clients. Hello! I enjoy working with adults to break through their negative beliefs and self-imposed glass ceilings. Often these clients feel stuck and frequently self-sabotage their goals. Commonly these blocks can be caused by past negative experiences (bullying, critical parents, narcissistic relationships) as an adult or as a child. I use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other techniques to remove these blocks so the client can easily move towards their goals. I also enjoy working with college students struggling to balance school, ADHD and other stressors.

I believe in meeting an individual where they are at with the understanding that everybody has had a different life experience. I take a nonjudgmental stance and encourage those I work with to find humor and light, while also validating the hardships they've endured, giving them support and tools to overcome those challenges and emotionally heal. While my caseload is diverse in client needs, an emerging focus of my practice is supporting individuals and family of individuals with ADHD who are working on understanding how their neurodivergent brains have played a role in their lives, exploring both the victories and the struggles.

Do you feel different than others or have been told you are? Do you struggle to adapt to last minute changes to plans or environmental feedback like noises or light? Do you struggle to make or maintain relationships or jobs? Many people these days feel like the work or school day is physically and emotionally exhausting, trying to 'fit in' and 'measure up.' Perhaps you or your child recently been diagnosed with Autism, ADHD or other related conditions and you are struggling to adapt to this new identity. Do you suspect that you or your child may be neurodivergent, but don't know where to turn?

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.
