Have recent traumatic events in your life affected the way you cope? Those events can trigger emotions that can result in our everyday activities becoming more difficult. More often in today's complex world, people of all ages are experiencing stress, anxiety, and depression that has negatively impacted our functioning at school, at home, or at work. Family and Peer relationships can be strained. Experiencing multiple stressors in life can make change seem more difficult. Seeking out someone to help, listen and explore ways of dealing with that change can ease the anxiety of it all. I would like to be that person to help you.

I provide counseling services in either English or Spanish. In addition to the rigorous education and training therapists are required to complete, I had an additional three-year training under Joan Rousseau, LCSW, in systems theory family therapy using a strategic problem-solving model. Previously, I enjoyed five years working in the addiction field and six years working in the child welfare field. I have served as an advocate for the Spanish-speaking community since 1985, and my focus in graduate school was on bilingualism-biculturalism-Spanish/Latino. As the mother of three sons, I chose to do focused study on men's issues.

Jennifer also offers clinical supervision to pre-licensed therapists (ASW, AMFT, APCC).

I believe everyone needs support but struggles with how to ask for help. In my practices I provide the time and space for you to feel heard, supported, and most importantly I provide empathy. Empathy is a powerful word as it defines the ability to sense other people’s emotions, coupled with the ability to imagine what someone might be thinking or feeling.

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.
