My passion is to work with autistic and neurodivergent individuals. Living as a neurodivergent individual, it’s frustrating how often the systems that autistic and neurodivergent people interact with are not trained in working with folks like us. After being diagnosed with ADHD, I made it a priority to learn more about neurodivergent conditions to contextualize my own experiences, and better help others like me. I have worked in multiple settings with neurodivergent individuals, including crisis response and outpatient therapy.

I believe that it is my role as a therapist to allow each client to be heard and to guide them through the change process in a way that makes sense for them. I use a person-centered approach to therapy and a combination of mindfulness, cognitive behaviorial therapy (CBT), and problem solving treatment.

I have honed my skills to focus more toward treatment and support of neurodivergent individuals. This passion developed due to my work in various agencies and educational systems where neurodivergent individuals were underserved due to lack of knowledge and a lack of understanding on how to support their individual needs. I myself rage against the “norms” of society and feel neurodivergent individuals are often faced with criticism for being different, too often bombarded with people pointing out deficits as opposed to the amazing benefits and strengths of seeing and approaching the world in a unique 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.
