ADHD Therapists in Oakland, CA
I specialize in the assessment and treatment of neurodevelopmental disorders like learning differences and ADHD.
I am a licensed clinical psychologist with many years of experience working with children, adolescents, and their families, as well as adults. My interventions are heavily rooted in behavioral therapy and evidence-based practices including feminist and attachment theories. However, I tend to conceptualize clinical presentations from a multicultural and social justice perspective. While I employ empirically validated treatments to ignite change, I am also of the belief that there is no single story to any individual. Consequently, it is important to understand the social, cultural, political, and spiritual context of each individual.

I honor my clients as the experts of their lives and enjoy forming a collaboration with the people I work with. I enjoy elements of psychoanalysis, especially if the outcome is greater acceptance and care for self. I believe that the therapeutic relationship can help rewrite stories that we tell ourselves about ourselves, as well as how we show up in relationships.

Through my own self work, education, and life experiences, I have learned that we are all on our very own unique journey towards tending to parts of us that have been mistreated or left behind by hurtful past experiences.

We often seek therapy because we find ourselves feeling lost or overwhelmed by life's stressors and decide that we no longer want to go it alone. My approach is collaborative; I act as a companion or guide to help people identify and explore patterns in their relationships- with others and with themselves. I also foster understanding of how implicit beliefs, formed early in life, influence how we tend to feel and behave now- things that can seem difficult to change. This powerful process allows those beliefs and patterns to come into conscious awareness; from there, we can gain freedom to experience and live life more fully.

If you’re neurodivergent— ADHD, autistic, or highly sensitive—you may have been given tools to manage your symptoms.
Using a somatically-oriented Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach, we identify and work directly with not only traumatized parts, but also the neurodivergent ones—the ones that create symptoms like attention difficulties and so on. Neurodivergent symptoms are not necessarily unchangeable “traits”—they are malleable parts within us that can be adjusted.

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.
