I'm a counselor and ADHD coach, specializing in the treatment of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD) for adults and couples. I also help adults overcome the lingering effects of childhood trauma (a.k.a. developmental trauma). Most of my clients have both. I also have experience with Autism Spectrum Disorder, another commonly co-occurring condition. I do not work with children. You may find counseling with me to be different than what you’ve experienced in the past. I use techniques that go beyond talk therapy, including EMDR, EFT/Tapping, and Ego State / Parts Work. Because sometimes, talking about it isn't enough.

Problem solving is a process and offering strategies, improved perspective and healthy coping skills are all part of this process. Do you find yourself asking why your children behave the way they do? Why they don't appear to listen? Why are you always repeating yourself? Do you find yourself often stressed or worried? Are there days you wonder why nothing seems to get done? Are you looking to better define yourself and your own goals, looking to improve your self-confidence and your relationships?

Therapy can provide children and teens a safe and supportive setting to learn to identify and express their emotions, make progress with social integration, growth and development.

Given the many challenges that life can hand us, it's easy to lose hope or feel overwhelmed. You are not alone. All too often our minds begin to take over filling our head with old messages that no longer serve us. Perhaps we are judging ourselves too harshly or feeling guilty for things that are out of our hands. Perhaps our heart is burdened with feelings of depression or anxiety. By exploring the importance of grounding ourselves in the present and practicing an awareness of being mindful, we can change our life patterns finding the inner peace that we strive for. Working together we can find hope in the present moment.

Currently, my primary work is with Individual Adults, in Kennebunk, Maine and Telehealth in Maine, Massachusetts and Florida. We all want to be happy. And many of us are happy much of the time as ordinary events pass through us without leaving a mark. And then, something happens and we're stuck. These events narrow our view of ourselves, our world and keep us from living to our full potential. Your problems affect who you are today and you want things to change. I can help you reduce what keeps you stuck so that you can move forward living your life in a more fulfilling and meaningful way.

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.
