I believe that you should be empowered by your therapist and feel a connection to be able to make a plan that works for your situation. I have 20 years of training in many modalities, most specifically, Mindfulness Based Cognitive Therapy and Family Systems. I also use yoga, meditation and breath work into sessions when asked and needed to promote mind/body balance. Please see my website where I was featured on the Morning Show in Tampa for the benefits of yoga and meditation in mental health.

I work intensively with my patients, meeting with each patient several days a week. With this frequency of sessions, and with a particular kind of listening that psychoanalysts are trained for, I can hear thoughts and feelings beyond the surface of the patient’s spoken comments, and this helps me help my patients identify unconscious forces from their past that are causing them to suffer. I am aware that psychological struggles take time to develop, and therefore it requires time and work to achieve desired changes. I offer a safe and confidential setting, where this work can take place, in privacy, and with respect.

I understand the difficulty some people may have seeking counseling. The therapeutic journey begins with the decision to seek help. After making an appointment, the next major step is entering the counselor’s office. My goal of therapy is not to cure anyone, but rather to help people cope more effectively with specific issues and concerns. I help people find hope, clarity, understanding, and emotional courage. My therapeutic approach is cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) which is founded in the notion that our thoughts cause our feelings and behaviors. Essentially, when the client is ready "change is a just a thought away".

I work with school-age children (Pre-K to 12th grade) and their families to help identify areas of need and develop strategies to promote student success at school and in life. Many students may find it difficult to maintain attention and focus, meet behavioral expectations in the classroom, overcome anxiety, interact with their peers, or make adequate academic progress. Parents often feel the emotional impact of these challenges as they support their children navigating through them. My aim is to provide a safe and encouraging environment where all students and families feel supported in reaching their goals.

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.
