I have 20 years of experience working with children and adolescents who are diagnosed with ADHD, Asperger's Syndrome, Bi-polar & Major Depressive Disorder, Attachment Disorder, and PTSD in a residential treatment setting and private practice.
My focus in counseling is to help you through the process of change. If you are struggling as a parent and want to learn strategies beyond medication to help your child be more successful, I can help. I am also a trauma specialist and strive to help clients work through depression, anxiety, grief, PTSD, abuse, anger, addictions, and other challenging life situations. EMDR and 22Zero is used to help clients "reprocess" traumas and other disturbing life events to help clients move beyond the negative emotions and dysfunctional thoughts that are connected with past events.

For those experiencing a life transition or difficult season in life, talking with someone about the challenges you face is one of the healthiest decisions you can make for yourself and your loved ones. Life can get messy and when it does, it can help to talk it out with someone outside of your friend group or family. In addition to counseling individuals, I have over 20 years experience working with children, adolescents, young adults, and their families. I provide guidance to those that struggle in many areas of school; emotional regulation, self-esteem, peer relationships, ADHD, and anxiety to name a few.

Do you struggle to manage the daily stressors of your everyday life? Or does something from your past keep coming up? Do you find that these concerns impact other areas of your life? Work? School? Relationships? Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or lost with how to move forward and live a happy/healthy life? Now more than ever, people are feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about how to manage their relationships, careers, and lives. Pushing your needs away and not taking time for yourself can lead to long-term issues for your mind and body. I believe it should not be so hard to live a better life.

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.
