“Child and Parent Specialist” Modern day parenting has become next to impossible, between busy schedules and environmental stressors, you feel lost and helpless. You find yourself yelling more than you want to, triggered and overwhelmed, you are not the parent you desire to be. Your child is sensitive, easily irritable, unable to regulate, maybe even aggressive. You are not alone. Children do not have the ability to self-regulate until they have experienced co-regulation - but no one taught us how to regulate. That's where I come in - to help regulate your own inner child so that you can show up better for your family.

Therapy shouldn't feel like a chore. While it might sometimes be hard to hear what is discussed in therapy, overall you should leave feeling like you've gained something useful or even transformative. Over time, you should feel you are getting stronger, more resilient and have shed layers of fear and anxiety. Of course this process can be overwhelming at times and you might not always progress on the timeframe that you thought you would, but when therapy goes well, you should feel more settled and more clear about your life. You should gain understanding about yourself and others and have a renewed sense of purpose and passion

Life feels overwhelming—and it has for a while. Maybe you’ve been the dependable one for everyone else, but now you’re starting to wonder what you want. Anxiety, guilt, exhaustion, and self-doubt feel all too familiar. You might be navigating midlife changes, relationship shifts, health concerns, parenting stress, or career burnout—and realizing you can’t keep doing this alone. You want to feel more like yourself again—and finally make choices that reflect what matters to you.

I specialize in helping clients navigate ADHD, life transitions & Relationship Issues!
Life can feel like a constant juggling act—between school, work, and family, you're doing all the things but still feel disconnected from yourself and others. Your mind spirals with self-doubt, and it’s hard not to feel like an outsider just trying to fit in. Maybe you’re navigating cultural adjustment on top of it all, which only adds to the stress and isolation. It’s exhausting lying awake at night wondering where you belong, how to move forward, or if you’ll ever feel truly seen. Everything looks fine on the outside—but inside, it’s a lot.

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.
