ADHD Therapists in Brooklyn, NY

Across the span of child and adolescent development, every individual has a unique personal story and strengths that shine through, even in the face of challenge. I work with individuals from preschool through college and beyond, but my expertise is in early childhood and elementary-age development. With specialized experience and training in working with neurodiverse learners, including those with ADHD and autism, as well as gender-diverse individuals, I integrate evidence-based approaches to empower individuals and families with information, tools, and strategies to facilitate positive adjustment and wellbeing.

Living with ADHD is challenging. My ADHD clients struggle with time management, planning, getting started with and completing projects, creating reasonable morning and evening routines, and impulsivity. If you feel that you are constantly spinning your wheels without getting any traction working with a coach will help you get unstuck. As an ADHD coach I can help my clients manage the symptoms of ADHD, set specific goals and support them as they move toward acheiving those goals. I work with clients as part of their health care team.

Most people hope to live a healthy, happy, and fulfilling life. I would love the opportunity to help you achieve this. For 30 years, my efforts were spent helping children and families in the educational environment. I have experience dealing with children diagnosed with emotional and educational disabilities. I have worked with children and adolescents with ADHD, anxiety, depression, conduct disorder, and oppositional defiant disorder, among others. Currently, my work is focused on psychotherapy with children, adolescents, and adults.

Living with ADHD is exhausting: you have to mask around others in order to appear "normal". You may beat yourself up because of it, causing low self-esteem. Sometimes, it can cause you to have a hard time focusing with the tasks you have to get done. Conflicts occur between you and your loved ones as a result of your executive dysfunction. You are not alone. Like many of us, you’re probably someone who has made valiant efforts to change your life, but because of you being wired differently, it can be hard to do so.

Navigating the world can be tough when you consistently try to please others,  have difficulty making decisions, or fear speaking your mind. I work with individuals who are  often marginalized, and exhausted by their unhealthy relationships  with self and others. Often when we attempt to live differently, negative emotions will kick in that cause us to cling to our old ways. I know all too well how difficult it is to feel overwhelmed or trapped by your circumstances. Together we'll push back on negative self talk, poor boundaries, self sabotage, and other unhelpful patterns that may be limiting life choices.

Welcome! For 15 years I have developed a specialty in work with adults and children with depression, anxiety, ADHD and related executive functioning issues. I deeply believe that there is no one way to raise a child or to exist in the world as an adult. My work is patient, empathic and kind. My work children always involves active participation from the caregivers in their lives. My treatment style relies on a strengths perspective to determine the unique strengths and needs of each family but I draw from CBT and PCIT when appropriate as well. If indicated, I can provide executive functioning coaching in addition to psychotherapy.

I enjoy working with a large spectrum of clients. From the intellectual client to the client who is emotionally aware, to the client who may have once been resistant to seeking treatment but is willing to explore it now. I have successfully worked with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, trauma, ADHD, addiction, and relationship issues. Motivation to succeed and interest in change is my ideally compatible client.

I specialize in evaluating children and adults who are struggling to succeed in school and at work. Adult evaluations often focus on a specific diagnosis (e.g., Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder - ADHD) that may have been missed throughout childhood.
