We provide a range of psychological evaluations in Richmond–for children, teens, and adults. Assessments for dyslexia, dysgraphia, and dyscalculia (learning disabilities in reading, writing, and math). We also provide evaluations for ADHD and autism. And, because many of our clients also struggle with anxiety, depression, or similar, we can help sort out how these impact day-to-day functioning.

I am a neurodivergent-affirming psychologist who helps adults seeking assessment. I help my clients answer the questions, "Am I autistic? Do I have ADHD?" Neurodivergence can look different in women and AFAB individuals, and it sometimes does not follow the stereotypes of what autism or ADHD are. Having a psychologist who specializes in these areas can be very helpful. Discovering neurodivergence later in adulthood can be a very positive event for many, helping them understand themselves and their life experiences more deeply.

My clinical specialties include ADHD, relational conflict, identity work, and substance misuse.
Are your relationships causing emotional instability? Is effective communication, boundary-setting, or managing your mood a challenge? Perhaps your headspace and sense of self is clouded by doubt and self-criticism. Maybe you feel disconnected from who you are and where you’re going, and how you spend your time. I'd like to help. In our sessions, I support my clients to grow, reflect, and develop skills to live a life sparked by joy and fulfillment. We process the past and its impact in the present, and foster deep understanding which strengthens the connection to mind and body. In our work, my clients find ease and empowerment.

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.
