My work with children, adolescents, and adults involves helping people address a wide variety of difficulties including anxiety, depression, ADHD, and anger.
If you have found my website, chances are you or someone you care about is going through a very challenging time. It may be a time of turmoil, conflict and pain. Psychotherapy involves attending to the concerns you have or issues you are facing in your life. I am here to help, and have worked with many people going through tough times, who have worried that things will not get better. I know that they can. Struggle and conflict, while frightening and painful, can be a hallmark of change.

I have a unique experience in working with children & adolescents who have ADHD, ASD, and other behavioral issues.
Counseling can be daunting for some, especially when your child is involved. What’s my first step? How do I choose the right counselor for myself, my child, or my family? I graduated from Walden University with a Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I incorporate CBT, play therapy interventions, expressive arts, and integrative therapeutic orientations. I don't hav an ideal client because every single client is different. What works for one client won't work for every client. I am able to work closely with you and your child to make sure everyone feels involved and heard in the therapeutic relationship.

Feeling alone, depressed, anxious, or overwhelmed? Talking about it is the first step, and a hard one at that. I prioritize creating an environment of care and transparency where your values and comfort always come first. The number one goal in therapy is to feel happy and to live a meaningful life. This comes from many smaller goals that we will work on together, whether it be making quality relationships, gaining coping skills, or recovering from past trauma or loss. I also offer psychological testing for those that need extra help making sense of their situation or that need accommodations.

Do you experience negative thoughts about yourself, frequent worries about the future, or maybe even become so numb that you feel nothing at all? I believe that everyone has some sort of trauma from their past that continues to affect their well-being and relationships with others. I will be curious about what you are showing up to therapy with; because I believe that our symptoms tell a story. They tell us what helped us to survive in a sometimes harsh and unjust world, but maybe no longer serve us. In order words, the things we do that once protected us, are usually the same things that hold us back today.

My passion is helping people find inner strength and healthy perceptions of self. I utilize mindfulness to assist clients in coping with and overcoming their challenges. Mindfulness entails intentionally focusing on the present without passing judgment. The primary goals of mindfulness are increased awareness and acceptance of one's thoughts, feelings, physical sensations, and the environment. One can develop a better awareness of self and how they respond to life's situations by paying attention to their thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations. This awareness enables one to respond to challenges with greater clarity and wisdom.

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.
