I specialize in psychological assessments (ADHD, Autism) treatment and diagnosis of anxiety, depression, stress, occupational and life burnout, and parental coaching.
Feelings of worry, high levels of stress and sadness can sometimes be overwhelming. Let me tell you, you are not alone. Many people have a hard time sharing their thoughts and feelings but this can be strengthened with practice. A therapeutic environment is a place of openness, safety, and growth. Therapy is the most important work you will do for yourself and the ones you love.

I provide therapy for children, adolescents, and adults who are experiencing concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, autism, social skills deficits, peer problems, or challenges with executive functioning, learning, or behavior.
Does your child or adolescent's worry, anxiety, or sadness get in the way of their day-to-day activities? Does it feel like you're talking in circles and running into the same challenging behaviors over and over? Without a “how-to” guide, it can be exhausting and overwhelming trying to assist your child or teen on your own. Even the process of seeking professional help can be daunting. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. As a Licensed Psychologist, I use a collaborative and strengths-based approach to help children, adolescents, and parents overcome challenges, improve relationships, and experience more joy.

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.
