ADHD is of particular interest to me because I feel it is a very misunderstood and under-treated disorder.
Many young adults, college students, and adolescents struggle with challenges related to managing ADHD, anxiety and depression. I have extensive experience working with ADHD and help clients manage symptoms and challenges through education, a compassionate understanding and the development of individualized strategies to help with your particular challenges. I am a certified CBT therapist and find this evidence based therapy a cornerstone in treating anxiety and depression. Sometimes these challenges coexist with each other. We will work together to decide what your particular needs are and develop a plan that fits those needs.

I have advanced training and years of experience helping those with substance abuse problems as well as identifying and dealing with the underlying issues that may drive the behaviors.

My methods are non-judgmental and generally holistic, but I know enough about medications to be able to recommend when they may be needed. Life can lead us anywhere and it is my mission to make that a happier place for us all.

You want to talk about what's on your mind, but it's tough. You don't want someone to try to 'fix' you, give you unwanted advice, or make you feel judged. You want a confidential space where you can talk things out, reflect, and really be heard. I believe that you have a strong desire to grow and succeed within you, no matter how buried or blocked. You don't need people to tell you what to do, but maybe a space to slow down and make sense of things. I specialize in working with grad students, ADHD, men's issues, and relationship and interpersonal concerns. I also frequently provide support to other therapists.

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.
