The longer I have worked to help people come to terms with their traumas the more I respect each individuals innate wisdom and essential resiliency to know their truths. I have trained, indeed matured as a therapist, during the era of emerging trauma treatments...all kinds. I am most interested in helping individuals unlock the transformative energies held in painful intrusive memories, but without re-traumatizing them in the present. I offer a wonderful supportive environment to support your exploration in to realms of thoughts and feelings and most importantly your contact with your own authentic experience.

The teen and pre-teen years are some of the best of a person's life. They can also be some of the most challenging. Teens are in a developmental period where distancing from the wisdom of parents is natural, but also scary. When that distance becomes more of a wedge, that's where I can help. Adolescents don't always have the ability to make good decisions for themselves AND they don't like others making those decisions for them. Therapy can be a place of connection and guidance that both children and their families are looking for.

As an ADHDer who specializes in working with other ADHD (and mixed neurotype couples), I’ve supported many folks who have wrestled with the same challenges as you.
It feels like you and your partner speak different languages. You make well-intentioned commitments, but struggle to follow through. This leads to frustration and resentment. You're always running late, and one of you feels burdened by needing to "pick up the slack" at home. Sometimes, ADHD makes it difficult for you to give your partner the attention and support that they need. To others, it seems like you have it all together. You recognize that this is because you're "masking," and everything falls apart when you get home. This struggle makes difficult to enjoy your time together. You've decided it's time to make a change.

Whether your focus is on strengthening your relationships, navigating difficult life transitions, or "unsticking" yourself from depression, anxiety, or trauma, our work together is aimed at empowering you to create positive change. When we experience stress and anxiety, our bodies & relationships can feel overwhelming. Therapy can be an investment into looking at what is getting in your way and examining the patterns of rumination and distress that no longer serve you.

(I currently have some limited immediate openings!) Counseling is a way to discover how we can live with our past, live in the present, and face an uncertain future daily. Most of us, given the time and information, and someone to talk with, could figure out how to manage the things that are challenging for us. Counseling helps us learn how to manage our emotions and find ways to face daily challenges. Through counseling we can learn the skills to manage our strong emotions, as well as have empathy for ourselves and others in dealing with tough life situations. I especially like supporting young children and their parents.

In addition, also offer Psychological Assessment services regarding ADHD evaluations for children and adults.
My approach to working with those who have an anxiety disorder is best described as "evidenced-based," "solution focused," and short-term in nature (i.e., 10-15 sessions). This is NOT "talk therapy", which can last for years, is incredibly expensive, and generally goes nowhere. My sessions employ a "Cognitive-Behavior Therapy" (CBT) emphasis, along with psycho-education concerning the condition being treated. I want those I work with to have a solid understanding of their condition (e.g., OCD, Chronic Worry, Panic, etc.), and their treatment protocol. Sessions typically last up to 1.5 hours, using state-of-the-art skills training.

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.
