Growing up with ADHD helped me understand how therapy and the right treatment could help make my life the best life possible. I'm looking to help my patients achieve the best life they can have. I can help people discover what is holding them back and work with them to removing those barriers to a better life.
A chance to learn and practice social skills in a safe and friendly environment. With short, guided lessons on common social skills deficits (i.e reading the room, think it or say it). Great for kids with mild autism (formerly called Asperger's) and well managed ADHD. Candidates will need to be pre-screened to ensure they are a good fit and can follow directives. Participation will require an 8 week commitment and full payment ($400) in advance. Please get in touch to be on a waitlist.

Assessment is critical to identifying intellectual strengths and weaknesses, as well as distinguishing common difficulties from learning disorders, serious behavior problems, adhd, autism, depression, anxiety and giftedness.
I love using CBT and neuropsychological assessment in my work with kids, parents and adults. There is no such thing as perfect, but there is such a thing as better. Every day we have a chance to make small changes towards understanding ourselves and our loved ones. I strive for progress and understanding, not perfection, so you will never feel judged here. I'm also a parent, so I can empathize. If you're looking for harmony in your family, a strong, healthy bond with your children or to understanding certain cognitive or psychological struggles, but you're not sure where to begin? Here and now is the best place to start.
Social skills groups are assembled appropriately for the needs and age group of the persons attending. The group uses coping skills, mindfulness, self-regulation, and scenario reenactment exercises to build skills in basic communication, interpersonal relationships, empathy and rapport, problem solving, and accountability. Contact me for information on available groups.

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.
