I primarily work with trauma, ADHD, and relationship challenges, plus depression, anxiety, shame, burnout, people-pleasing and sexual concerns.
Being human can be weird, confusing and downright difficult. You may feel stuck in frustrating patterns that keep repeating – but you’re not broken, so I'm not here to fix you. Together, we can get curious about patterns that no longer work for you, that were shaped by trauma, neurodiversity or challenging relationships. I'm Amanda, and I focus on the deeper work – understanding the experiences and relationships that shaped you, so that therapy feels honest, meaningful and truly useful – not like a generic motivational quote. We'll go below the surface, and together we'll find creative ways to loosen the grip of those old patterns.

Is your child finding it tough to manage their emotions and regulate themselves? Are you feeling a bit lost, unsure how best to support them? Not sure how to navigate their feelings of being bullied, conflicts with peers or loneliness? Perhaps you've recently gone through a separation or other life changes and you're worried about how your child is coping with it all? Understanding and managing emotions can be really tricky for kids, and it can leave them feeling frustrated, overwhelmed and alone. I'm here with genuine care and understanding, ready to offer a safe and non-judgemental space to navigate and explore these challenges.

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.
