Dealing with life events can be stressful for anyone. But there are further difficulties when it comes to neurodiversity, anxiety disorders, and being part of the LGBTQIA+ communities. In this day and age, life can be even more trying as part of a marginalized community. I enjoy helping people work through their life struggles, explore techniques for better executive functioning, and explore ways to manage stressors. While I can work with a wide range of ages, I particularly enjoy helping support children, adolescents, and young adults in their development.

I believe childhood is one of the most important and formative seasons of life. When children feel safe, understood, and supported within both their families and communities, meaningful change begins.

No two people experience life the same way, so therapy shouldn’t feel like one-size-fits-all.
I approach my work from a person-centered, collaborative lens, honoring your story, your pace, and what feeling “grounded” truly means to you. I’ve worked extensively with individuals navigating a wide range of mental health and intellectual challenges, and I integrate practical, skills-based tools to help you build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and sustainable coping strategies.

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.
