Living with ADHD can feel like you're always racing against time—struggling with focus, organization, and the chaos of daily life. You don’t have to face it alone. Together, we’ll develop personalized strategies that work with your unique needs and strengths. We’ll address the challenges of ADHD while celebrating what makes you thrive. Whether it’s creating structure or managing distractions, I’m here to support you. Let’s build a plan that helps you find balance, reduce overwhelm, and create a more fulfilling life.

I take a straightforward, empathetic approach to tackling the everyday struggles of ADHD, supporting you as we create a plan that improves focus, reduces overwhelm, and builds structure—so you can feel more confident, energized, and less drained.

I'm part of the team at Cultivate Therapy, and I work with adults and couples. I work Sunday through Thursday, in Bloomfield, NJ and via telehealth across NY, NJ, and PA. We are a savvy out-of-network practice and will explain your benefits, provide a cost estimate, and submit claims to your insurance company for you.
