Welcome to my page. If you are here, you are interested, curious, wanting or needing to be in therapy.

Specializing in the treatment of ADHD, my practice emphasizes the development of strategies to improve overall executive functioning, as well as developing understanding of the impact that ADHD has on our attention, impulsivity, self-esteem, procrastination, and motivation. I also work with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, and trauma, with treatment aiming to help clients identify the barriers keeping them from their goals and designing interventions that promote a more positive sense of self.

Do you or a family member have ADD or ADHD? Do you or a family member have difficulty concentrating, completing tasks, or feeling "hyper"? My colleagues and I, at The Haffey Center for Attention & Memory, can provide specialized assessment to determine the presence and degree of attention difficulties, and provide recommendations and treatment to address these difficulties. We utilize information from the latest research on ADHD and ADD to guide our work with you. We also have extensive experience assessing and treating depression, anxiety, learning difficulties, and relationship problems utilizing a variety of approaches, including Mindfulness and CBT.

My role as a psychologist is to help you learn, get unstuck, and take control in your life. By creating a safe, nonjudgmental space, I hope to encourage your sense of connection, empowerment, and insight as we address your concerns. I believe the quality of the therapist-client relationship is the most important foundation of good therapy, and I work collaboratively with clients using several approaches, including CBT, ACT, and mindfulness-based psychotherapy.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist and neurotherapist. I utilize state-of-the-art, neuroscience-based technologies to help facilitate change in my clients. I work with individuals from three to over eighty years of age. Most people contact me as a result of an understandable ambivalence towards taking medications or a desire to reduce the difficulties associated with some mental or physical condition viewed by others as 'unalterable' or life-long (e.g., ADHD, learning disabilities, autism, depression, anxiety, chronic pain, traumatic brain injury, or other medical conditions).

Are your worries keeping you up at night? Do you think about something over and over and imagine the worst might happen? Do you feel so overwhelmed that you can’t get anything done? Does everything, including eating and sleeping, feel hard? It is okay to need help and I want to help you get unstuck.

If you are someone who is motivated for change and wants to be there 100%, I am here for you! I work best with individuals who are struggling with depression, anxiety disorders, adjustment disorders, poly substance abuse and dependence, and personality disorders. I help clients live self-actualized lives due to difficulties with work, family life, and self-esteem. I use combination of Rogerian, CBT, and Insight therapies in a way that encourages self-expression, improved communication skills, and self understanding. Empathy and self-awareness are modeled by my approach to the clients I work with in a safe environment.

We all encounter times in life when we just feel stuck and overwhelmed, sometimes unsure of why we feel this way and unable to move forward. Psychotherapy helps us to achieve a sense of well-being and make changes in our lives. My hope is to create a safe and supportive therapeutic environment, which will allow you to achieve personal growth. I utilize a combination of psychodynamic and cognitive-behavioral therapies with components of mindfulness and solution-focused approaches. I work with adults of all ages and older adolescents.

I work with people who are looking to embark on a process of intentional healing, self understanding, growth and actualization. I'm here to support you if you are struggling with anxiety, depression, identity issues, interpersonal challenges, difficulties with motivation and focus, healing of trauma, and/or wrestling with life's big questions. Therapy, to me, is a highly collaborative process. You are driving the bus and deciding where to go, and I am here to help you navigate through a process of deep listening, reflection, and psychoeducation.

My approach is curious, warm, collaborative, and pragmatic. I provide feedback to facilitate looking at problems from varied perspectives. I help clients feel safe while also challenging them to engage in new behavior. My approach utilizes mindfulness based, cognitive behavioral therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). I have practiced psychotherapy since 2005. In my work I provide treatment for mood disorders, anxiety disorders, substance use, ADHD, personality disorders, relationship issues, grief, parenting stress, and career change.

I specialize in treating children, adolescents and families with all kinds of issues ranging from anxiety to ADHD, as well as depression, divorce and blended families. I also provide adults with parent guidance, and see individual adults for psychotherapy. My theoretical orientation is mixed; training in family systems, psychodynamic, as well as cognitive-behavioral treatment. I see people ranging in age from 4 to adult!

Hello, there! What I already know about you is: You are deserving of less burden. In therapy, people are able to develop insights and action plans that transform their capacity to manage the turbulence of life. Together, let's work on your relationship with yourself and the challenges you are facing. Let’s manage your inner critic, sadness/loss, and unhelpful habits. And, equally, let’s identify your strengths and resiliencies that might have gotten lost in the shuffle. I work within a relational, collaborative framework informed by CBT, DBT, & am strength based.

Have traumas or other events thrown your life off course? I see my job as helping people get back to their "regularly scheduled lives". Whether you have PTSD, or you are a bereaved parent or someone grieving a recent loss, I believe that with the right amount of understanding and validation, every person can successfully reclaim their lives and find his/her/their purpose again. As a consultant and Adjunct Professor specializing in grief and loss, I realize that not all losses are due to death. Grieving for a multitude of losses, including Learning Disorders, ADHD, and adoption, is my focus of treatment.

Many of the day-to-day difficulties that people struggle with can be attributed to past traumas big and small. My goal is to meet people where they are, help them figure out where they want to be, and work with them to get there. I approach therapeutic work from a client-centered, strength-based, solution-focused perspective. I am happy to help folks navigate identity exploration, situational stressors, ongoing mental health challenges, grief and loss, sudden life changes, or past traumas. I am a queer and genderqueer practitioner and am willing to write letters in support of medical transition as needed.

Life’s difficult turns can motivate us to take action for change. You may have daily challenges with low moods, anxiety, problems with memory or concentration, trauma, chronic pain, or grief. Or maybe you have past experiences that continue to hurt you. Psychotherapy can become a valuable tool to address these challenges starting with where you are now. It can be an opportunity to assess your current situation, clarify your goals, and build skills that empower you toward increased well-being, better directions, and desired outcomes.
