There are several good reasons to find a therapist. Oftentimes, people seek assistance and support during times of transitions, a crisis, or because they've become stuck or confused about how their life is progressing. Common feelings during these times are often expressed through a increase in anxiety, developing depression, or a combination or different symptoms that simply start to feel overwhelming. If this is the place you find yourself and if you are looking to make a positive change in your life then your are in the right frame of mind to benefit from therapy.

Hi! I'm Judy and I have a multi-disciplined background to add to my role as a clinical therapist that has provided foundational knowledge in working with individuals and families who have experienced grief and trauma in their lifetime.
Are you feeling stuck in life? Are you feeling stuck due to outside events beyond your control (work, finances, health, traumatic events, abuse) or perhaps inner conflicts (anxiety, depression, substance abuse)? Are your needs being met emotionally, socially, material and basic needs? Often times we end up feeling "stuck", due to prioritizing ourselves last - and asking ourselves, "How did I get to this place?" My goal is to work myself out of a job with you - your goal is empowerment, joy, liberation and freedom to embrace and live your life as you are meant to.

In the counseling I provide, I try to meet my clients where they are at in their thoughts, feelings & lives’ circumstances. I believe that change is a difficult, but necessary part of the therapy process. I am a strong believer that building resilience is helpful as well. I work to help clients identify their emotions that can arise from experiencing anxiety, panic, trauma, abuse, shame and other life challenges; which over time, can also negatively impact a person’s emotions, mental health, & self-talk.

Being a woman today can mean living with a lot of insecurity and anxiety. You want to appear successful and put together, but deep down you are struggling to figure out who you are, cope with the chaos in your life, and work through a difficult past. The pressures of everyday life fill you with constant overwhelm, relationships feel distant and stressful, and your energy reserves have been depleted. You can hold it together and make it through the day, but by the time you get home you are exhausted. Cooking, dinner, socialization, and parenting seem like impossible tasks.

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.
