I specialize in treatment of anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and adult ADHD.
Mental symptoms signal the need to repair relationships with significant others, friends, coworkers, children. Each of us seems flawed in our ability to continuously interact, yet social hiccups merely disclose unique emotional styles of working through universal problems in living. Psychotherapeutic interaction catalyzes awareness of unique purpose and builds skills to make the most of individual neurology so you can bring your A game to every situation. Release the narrative of failure. Let’s work together to accomplish insight into your unique nature so you might find your way home to attunement within the vast circle of life.

As a seasoned therapist with extensive clinical experience and someone personally diagnosed with ADHD, I understand firsthand the challenges you face.
Do you often have anxious thoughts, low motivation, pressure to please others, and struggling to initiate tasks or meet deadlines? Perhaps you find yourself preoccupied with thoughts about how others perceive you or whether you're achieving enough in your work and personal life. It can be exhausting to constantly second-guess yourself, forgetting important details, and feeling like you're falling short compared to others. You're not alone. These are common challenges adults with ADHD face—trying to meet expectations or feeling overwhelmed because it all seems too much to handle. I can help.

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.
