Time—we get 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, yet somehow it can feel like it just flies by. Does it feel like you’re spending most of that time taking care of everything and everyone else? You may be the person others rely on—caring, capable, sensitive, and often pulled in several directions at once. The inner critic, people-pleaser, overwhelmed part, and the part that desperately needs rest may all be competing for attention. You know you need more room for yourself, but slowing down can feel surprisingly hard.

You might be coming to therapy for the first time, not entirely sure what to expect, but knowing that something needs to change. You want to feel less anxious, more at ease in your own life, and to finally be a little kinder to yourself. If that sounds like you, you're in the right place.

I best work with people who struggle with ADHD, PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar d/o, trauma, self-worth issues, substance abuse, numbing behaviors, anger, relationship problems, life transitions, and multicultural issues.
As a therapist I support people who feel stuck feeling chronically frustrated and misunderstood; move from feeling unmotivated or bored to overwhelmed in different areas of life.You may feel very alone and no one else has a clue. You may constantly feel worried, think of “what ifs”, or worst case scenarios, and that’s when the spiraling cycle begins. You never feel content, as if you took the wrong train in life. It is almost impossible to explain to people that you are in a constant state of despair so you keep it to yourself because it is safer but also very lonely. I help people to feel a little bit less crazy about their lives.

I work with adults who are ready to work through patterns that no longer serve them, especially around family, relationships, and the deeper question of who they are outside of what they were taught to be. Many of my clients grew up in homes where their emotional needs weren't fully met or understood, and they're now sorting through what that means for how they attach, trust, and show up in adult relationships. I work with clients across the LGBTQ+ community and am affirming of all gender identities and sexual orientations.

ADHD Therapists
How can therapy help with ADHD?
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental condition that can affect attention, impulse control, emotional regulation, and executive functioning. Therapy can help you develop practical strategies for managing challenges such as procrastination, disorganization, difficulty with time management, impulsivity, and trouble starting or completing tasks. Therapy can also help address the emotional aspects of ADHD, including stress, low self-esteem, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday demands. Medication, commonly prescribed by psychiatrists, is another common treatment for ADHD and may help reduce core symptoms, particularly when used alongside therapy or other skills-based support.
Who can diagnose ADHD?
Many professionals, including psychiatrists, nurse practitioners, psychologists, and certain types of therapists (e.g., licensed counselors and clinical social workers) can diagnose ADHD. However, while certain types of therapists may be able to diagnose, they usually cannot prescribe medication; only medical providers, such as psychiatrists and certain nurse practitioners, are able to prescribe and manage ADHD medications. Therapists can also usually not provide comprehensive diagnostic evaluations, especially if specialized testing is required.
What therapeutic approaches are most effective for ADHD?
Treatment for ADHD often includes a combination of medication and behavioral support. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is one of the most widely studied therapeutic approaches for ADHD, particularly in adults. It can help you recognize unhelpful thought patterns while developing practical skills for managing everyday challenges. For children, treatment frequently involves parents, caregivers, or teachers and includes strategies to support the child at home or school.
Can therapy help with ADHD in children and adults differently?
Therapy for ADHD often looks different for children and adults. For children, treatment often focuses on behavioral strategies, such as establishing consistent routines, reinforcing positive behaviors, and setting clear expectations. Parents, caregivers, and teachers are often actively involved in treatment so that these strategies are consistently used across settings. In contrast, adult ADHD therapy is often more conversational and self-directed, while still remaining skills-based. Treatment may focus on executive functioning, including planning, organization, time management, and emotional regulation.
How can I find an ADHD therapist?
The Psychology Today Directory is a helpful resource for locating therapists who specialize in diagnosing and treating ADHD. You can filter search results by clinician specialty, cost, location, and identity preferences. When evaluating potential professionals, it is important to ask about their experience in treating ADHD, as well as their typical approach to therapy. If you are seeking evaluation or treatment for a young child, it may be beneficial to search for a child therapist who is more knowledgeable about appropriate treatment for younger clients. In addition, it's important to verify whether a therapist accepts your insurance—and, since not all plans fully cover ADHD assessments or testing services, it’s especially important to confirm that these specific services are included in your coverage before starting the treatment process.
