Accelerated Resolution Therapy, trauma-informed practices, ADHD evaluations and working with people who are on the autism spectrum are some of the areas in which I specialize.
People who choose therapy to heal are cycle breakers. They have decided enough is enough, and have found strength to seek help. It is such an honor to be able to help others discover themselves, unlocking mysteries and learning new strategies to live their best lives and becoming the best version of themselves. ADHD, trauma, grief, life transitions such as divorce or starting a new career, breaking unhealthy habits or cycles created by family through past generations are some examples of what I enjoy working on with clients. The list is endless, and bottom line, if you are ready to dive in, I'm ready for you!

I help people who have been raised in unhealthy families learn to communicate, be vulnerable, find healthy relationships and respect themselves. Maybe you're a young adult feeling a bit overwhelmed by life, trying to figure out who you are and how life works. You haven't had the guidance you've needed. Or maybe you're an "experienced adult" who just needs someone to talk to, air out and organize your thoughts. My clients tend to be "different" whether that means artsy, neurodivergent, shy, covered in tattoos, concert-goers, adventure-seekers, people who simply want to find peace and happiness in the form that appeals to them.

Are you exhausted of things building up and causing you to feel overwhelmed? Are you tired of trying to get out of old habits, just to continue to feel stuck, or maybe you don't even know where to start? Do you spend all day avoiding and numbing your feeling, just so you can function, then find yourself blowing up or having extreme emotions later? Is all the mental junk getting in the way of your career, parenting, and/or having healthy relationships? Do you want to actually heal on a deep level and want someone to challenge you, instead of someone to just talk to and say "uh, huh, how does that make you feel?"

Providing a space of safety and acceptance to explore life issues, we work together to begin the process of change. Beginning with a solution-focused approach, we begin with your strengths. A key to this is learning to effectively use tools (coping skills) along with being able to see and understand situations differently. We work together to improve the health of your relationships, the most important one being with yourself, and then other relationships in your life. Problems with alcohol or other drugs can be addressed if that's something you want to work on.

Our experiences shape how we think, feel, and participate in the world. From individual personality, to family of origin, to cultural context, the interaction of internal and external can result in feelings of depression or anxiety, difficulty in relationships, or confusion about identity. Sometimes all that’s needed is short-term help that focuses on developing better coping skills, and other times deep, long-term, insight-oriented work is necessary to disentangle complex lifelong difficulties.

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.
