I provide individual therapy to children, adolescents, and teens focused on the treatment of anxiety, depression, ADHD, and behavioral issues in a relaxed and fun setting.
Hi, I am so glad you are here. Is your child struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, depression or behavioral issues? Does your child need extra support with managing their emotions? If so, you are in the right place. It can be difficult to see your child struggle through big emotions. Just like adults, children go through difficult periods where they need help, guidance, or someone to listen. Therapy can help children feel validated and learn how to talk about their feelings in a healthy way. Additionally, therapy can provide coping skills for your child to help set them up for success in the future.

I primarily work with young adults, teenagers and children. In session, we work through symptoms of depression, anxiety, and ADHD, among others, while paying attention to trauma history and its impact on current life circumstances. When working with children, it is important for me to involve parents and caregivers in understanding their child's struggles and how best to support, nurture and care for them. Oftentimes, my clients come to session without a full understanding of their negative feelings and how to express them; this is often something we work through together.

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.
