Feeling overwhelmed or not like yourself lately? Has becoming a mom impacted your relationship? Finding yourself resentful or irritable as times? If this sounds familiar, I would love to connect for a free 15-minute consultation to discuss how I can help. I love helping women and fellow moms to overcome the symptoms of anxiety, depression, or ADHD that have pulled them away from the life that they want. I believe when we gain insight and understanding about what we are experiencing, learn effective strategies to challenge our symptoms, and have the right support, we can take back our lives and things CAN get better.

Are you Autistic or ADHD ? My clients are self-identified and professionally assessed neurodivergent (Autistic, ADHD , and OCD) adolescents and adults, often finding themselves struggling with problems related to their executive functioning, anxiety, or poor self-esteem. I am a neurodivergent-affirming psychologist and emphasize helping clients love themselves. Many of my clients have dealt with a history of invalidation, a lack of proper support, or are seeking specialized help. Often I see neurodivergent clients who have seen previous providers that have been unable to help them find wellness.

As a psychologist and certified CBT life coach with specialized training in ADHD and parent consultation, I offer tools to narrow an individual's focus and find out which thoughts and beliefs are keeping them from achieving their goals.
I work collaboratively with individuals who are struggling to achieve the hopes and goals that they want for themselves. Whether you are launching into a new phase of life or are learning to thrive with ADHD , feelings of pride and peace can often be accompanied by hurdles. In order to live an exceptional life, you may need guidance and clarity to allow for goal setting and decision making to occur. I also provide educational consultation services for parents going through IEP/504 Plan processes. These services include report reviews, meeting attendance, and in-school observations.

My areas of expertise include depression, mood disorders, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, ADHD , Trauma, and transitional issues of work, relationships, etc.
25 years as a clinical social worker has taught me that finding the right therapist is like trying on a pair of shoes. It has to be the right fit for you to start the journey of self-exploration. I believe in a strength based approach, where we not only explore the issues that brought you to therapy, but we explore how to expand the things that bring you joy and happiness. As Dr. Seuss once said, “life is a great balancing act” and he could not have been more right.

I have worked extensively with clients coping with various life-transitions, anxiety, OCD, ADHD , depression, grief and loss, sexual abuse, divorce, PTSD, and trauma recovery.
As a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I work collaboratively with clients to process painful emotions, navigate life-stressors, gain new insights, and take practical steps toward improved self-care and healthy pattern changes. My approach is insight-oriented, working from the assumption that the better you know yourself, the better you will function. Insight-oriented psychotherapy strives to teach you how and why you function in the ways you do, and to clarify your motivations. It gives you self-knowledge. Most of all, it gives you freedom to chose a different path and be the agent of positive change.

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.
