I specialize in the treatment of depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, attachment struggles, addiction, tensions arising within couples and families, and ADHD and school performance issues.
The human experience can be overwhelming and can leave us feeling alone, invisible, and “stuck.” Therapy can be a fantastic tool in helping those who are ready to make changes move forward towards their authentic selves- the people they want, and enjoy to be. Therapy is not a one-size fits all activity, and I believe that the role of a clinician is to match client needs with eclectic interventions. In my practice, I utilize many different evidenced-based therapies, including CBT, ACT, EMDR, EFT, COSP, Theraplay, mindfulness training, mediation, and more.

There are no "bad" clients. My ideal client is someone who has courage to heal. We can often say we want to change, but the fear of the "unknown" sometimes outweighs the motivation for actual change. I have shifted my approach to assisting in focusing on the motivation instead of changing. Our world is performance based, but I want your shifts to begin because they have been internal and sustaining. You can do this!

Together we can focus on you, and what it is exactly that might lead you towards a sense of yourself that feels more whole.

I believe who you are is not something in need of fixing. When we feel stuck or disconnected, life feels profoundly more stressful. I work with individuals who are finally ready to take that first step on their path towards self discovery or have already begun the process on their own. During our work together, my goal is to establish a meaningful relationship with a shared sense of ownership for your treatment. The greatest predictor of treatment success is the therapeutic alliance between the therapist and client. I connect with my clients through empathy, compassion humor and metaphor.

If so, you’ve come to the right place. While EMDR may be all the hype these days, I offer a slightly different but effective approach called Brainspotting that can do wonders for those who are a bit more sensitive, anxious, or may have more complex trauma to work through. Along with working with neurodivergents and trauma survivors, I welcome all women 18+ who are feeling stuck or just needing some extra support.

Finding balance between happiness, boredom, and exhaustion can feel like a mystery. Inwardly, we are constantly striving. Outwardly, we appear to "have it all together" and fear dropping our "mask." When it gets to be too much, we may shutdown or avoid. We may feel unappreciated, misunderstood, or lonely. I help adults and teens fill their "toolbox" to escape from this trap. Together, we use RO DBT as detectives in your own life to understand what triggers unwanted feelings, unhelpful thoughts, and ineffective behaviors. Discovering balance begins with assess core values, motivations for change, and awareness of our own behaviors.

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.
