I have experience working with individuals including adolescents and adults with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, autism, ADHD, anger, trauma, phase of life changes, and relationship issues.
Life is often stressful and relationships get messy. It’s hard to navigate and work through major life transitions and adjustments especially when they are complex and you are facing more than one at a time. There is hope and there is help available. You are not alone. I believe counseling can be a beneficial healing relationship experience that requires collaboration between client and therapist. I enjoy meeting and working with people, helping connect them to resources, identify their strengths, work through life challenges, and begin healing while offering support, encouragement, and a listening ear.

I have experience working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, abuse, neglect, attachment, grief, self-esteem, stress, and PTSD.
Life is full of transitions, and while some are smooth, others can be a little more on the bumpy side. Those bumps in the road can affect our overall well-being, mentally and physically. Often, we may not even realize just how much mental health is affected by stressors that emerge in life. I am committed to helping guide you through the challenges and find helpful ways to cope. I provide services utilizing a person-centered approach, which encourages clients to be active and take the reins during sessions and throughout treatment.

I bring specialized training in childhood mental health, and neurodiversity-affirming ADHD and Autism care for all ages.
It sometimes feels easier to seek support for physical challenges than for emotional ones, especially if we are used to thinking that we should be able to handle our feelings and challenges on our own. Reaching out for support is a sign of strength, not weakness. Many of the adult and child clients who see me struggle with low self-esteem, anxiety and worry, impulse control, organization/planning/distractibility/sensory challenges, feeling easily overwhelmed, and peer or relationship challenges. They hope to experience less chronic overwhelm, procrastination, burnout, fewer relationship conflicts, and more joy.

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.
