ADHD Therapists in Virginia

As a Health Psychologist I focus on Health and Wellness in many ways. I enjoy helping people with Anxiety Due to a Medical Condition, Adult ADHD, Bariatric Pre & Post Surgical Testing and Counseling, and Rehabilitation Supportive Counseling (post-surgical or chronic illness). These areas might seem very different, but they are not. The common thread is that these areas focus on daily living. If we can't focus, due to worry, adhd, anxiety, recovery, or pain, then it is hard to fully live life. I enjoy helping people be the best version of themselves, no matter what they are going through.

Does the thought of therapy feel boring and pointless to you? Need someone who can help explain what is going on in your brain (or spouse or adolescent's brain), how it impacts you, and practical ways to help deal with your challenges (anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, conflict, anger, addiction, men's issues, etc)? Let's meet to figure out how to get you to the place where you are becoming the person you want to be. I work with people from all backgrounds, but primarily work with adult and adolescent males.

My practice is Psychological Testing Services, LLC (PTS, LLC), a resource for comprehensive psychological evaluations for adolescents and adults. Diagnostic questions may be about such conditions as learning disorders, ADHD/ADD, mental health concerns (for example, depression, anxiety, or bipolar disorder), intellectual disability, personality evaluation, and psychoeducational evaluation to see if disability/academic accommodations are supported. I also provide IQ/admissions testing for children aged six and older for gifted programs/schools.

Everyone wants to be able to control and manage the things they are going through and experiencing in their life, and at times that can be hard. My counseling style is relaxed and person centered. I am attentive, empathetic, and have a wide range of skills and experience that can be tailored to best support you. I have over 10 years of mental health experience working with children, adolescents, young adults and adults with a range of diagnosis from Autism to Schizophrenia. Working with children is my passion. I have a good track record working with children and helping them achieve complete independence.

I help clients achieve their goals by utilizing research-based interventions within a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapeutic space. In this fast-paced and often high-pressure region in which we live, having a place to talk about the things going on in your life without having to worry about how it might impact others can be a relief within itself. I specialize in working with children (ages 10+), adolescents, and adults.

I graduated from The College of William and Mary with my M. Ed. in Marriage and Family Counseling in 2015. I have experience with emotionally distressed youth and their families, as well as couples and older adults. I work with clients who struggle with ADHD, ODD, Anxiety, Depression, Autism Spectrum, self-esteem and other issues. I utilize a person-centered, strengths based approach, with a strong systems focus to help clients identify sources of resiliency. Whenever possible, I involve the families, particularly the parents, in the treatment of youth. I have a passion for enriching the communication within a family.

If you or your child is struggling with life's challenges, please remember that these challenges do not define you. You are so much more than your challenges, and it would be my honor to help you to truly feel that. Clients I work with may be seeking relief from symptoms of anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, a body-focused repetitive behavior such as hair-pulling (trichotillomania) or skin-picking, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, high-functioning autism, and more. I also work with children experiencing bullying and those who bully others.

You want to appear competent and put-together, but are struggling internally. You’re someone who likes tackling challenges and exciting projects, but gets tripped up by mundane things. It leaves you feeling frustrated and ashamed of yourself. You look around and it seems like everyone else is effortlessly balancing all of their responsibilities. Like there must be something wrong with you, or you weren’t paying attention when they handed out the life instruction manual. But you’re ready to make a change - you’re ready to feel in control and content with yourself and the life you’ve created. I want to help you get there.

Are you or your teenager experiencing difficulty? In therapy, you can develop coping skills to address depression, anxiety, psychosis, addiction, eating disorders, trauma, and problematic sexual behaviors.

Asking for help can often be an indication of courage and strength. All individuals have life issues and knowing when to seek help is essential to well being. I am a psychologist who works diligently with my clients to identify and examine maladaptive patterns that cause obstacles to living well. Through this process, the elements needed for positive change (e.g., insight, acceptance) materialize and help move one to live a more healthy and fulfilling life. In therapy, I place great value on the relationship between the therapist and the client, so I strive to create a safe, comfortable, confidential, and nonjudgmental environment.
