Waitlist for new clients
My ideal client doesn’t have a defined age and gender is merely a construct. I welcome couples and individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community as well as allies as well as the complex issues that come with these identities. My favorite things to help people with are the deep thoughts, anxieties, and changes associated with BIG life transitions, balancing work and life, and managing ADHD. I love talking about things that range from the mundane and temporary to deep spiritual and philosophical questions.

It is entirely normal to feel uncertain about seeking therapy. Everyone has their reasons, and yours may be different from others. Perhaps you are seeking treatment to gain the skills to live a healthier, happier, more balanced life or to overcome depression and regain your hope and energy. You may be looking to put an end to the same arguments with your partner or find healthier ways to cope with stress instead of overeating. You may feel down and creatively blocked or struggling spiritually due to conflicting beliefs. Whatever your reason, know that it is valid and deserving of attention.

Welcome to Hope and Serenity Counseling and Consulting Services. I believe that every person has the optimistic desire to live well with positive outcomes, as it relates to everyday events and circumstances in our lives. I am also aware that life is not neatly packaged with all of our wants, desires, hopes and dreams; it is very unpredictable and comes with the good and the bad. I aim to create a safe space in my practice for those who have experienced the effects of mental illness and trauma, as a result of loss of a loved one, job, relationships and self-esteem. I want to help you decrease anxiety, depression, and worry. Call me

Life is full of ups and downs. A big transition, the death of a loved one, or a traumatic event can show up as anxiety, depression, addiction, or even physical pain. These feelings don’t have to linger. With evidence-based therapies, such as EMDR, I can help you overcome traumatic events or simply unhealthy (and often untrue) ways of thinking of yourself and emerge as the “new” you with the clarity, confidence, and joy needed to live the life you deserve.

Do you and your partner keep having the same argument over and over? Are you single and don't understand why you keep struggling to build healthy relationships? I enjoy working with individuals who are struggling to build healthy relationships and want to understand how to live out their values and gain control of their feelings. I also work with couples who feel disconnected and unheard by one another and desire deeper connection and intimacy.

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.
