I have been a practicing Mental Health counselor since 2006. My experience includes work with young adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders and other developmental disorders who are struggling to make life transitions so many of us find challenging, (e.g. high school to post high school activity, college, employment and beyond). Collaboratively we work to develop positive decision-making skills, strengthen interpersonal relationships, and cultivate a positive self-image - often barriers to successful life transition.

Children with ADHD and executive function disorder face the daily struggle of not meeting expectations. Expectations come at them from so many sources: school, home, peers, extra-curricular activities, and more. The constant feeling that they are falling short or disappointing teachers and parents creates enormous stress and impacts their sense of self-worth, thus resulting in depression, anxiety and acting out behaviors. Ever feel like you, as the parent, are at a loss as to why your child is acting out or how to help them to keep up with the demands around them?
