I am Licensed in MA & RI and I work with all people who identify first and foremost as being human, and who are imperfect by nature even if this is hard to admit to self and others; adults, couples, children, teens and their families. My approach is unique in that it involves individual self exploration and discovery rather than diagnosis and treatment plans. My work is based on relationship building which always begins with the relationship with self. My work with children and teens has a strong family component since improving these family of origin relationships supports life long wellness in all members of the family.

Thank you for taking the time to consider me your mental health therapist. ​Are you experiencing a significant life transition (ie. divorce, loss of a loved one, etc)? Based on personal experiences, I know how difficult it can be to reach out for help. No one knows your life better than yourself and while it is true that no one else can do the inner work for you, that does not mean you have to do it alone. ​ ​ Finding a skilled therapist is important; someone with whom you can establish a collaborative and trusting relationship.

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.
