Welcome. With over 10 years of clinical experience and a graduate degree from Washington University in St. Louis, I support adults with life direction, stress management, and executive functioning. I use Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help others navigate work, depression, anxiety,
ADHD
, and relationships. In addition, I am a mindfulness and yoga instructor (RYT) offering both in-office and virtual sessions. Clients have the option of adding relaxation and yoga into our work. I operate from the belief that authenticity, collaboration, and compassion can guide a therapeutic reconnection to your highest self.

If you have executive function disorder/
adhd
like I do, I meet you where you are helping you find thoughts and behaviors that work for you.
I am currently taking new clients! My goal for all of my clients is for each of them to claim they are comfortable using their voice while fully embodying their authenticity. I can help you tap into your inner strength and personal power so you can make the changes needed to feel better and create a more fulfilled life. We will work together on you getting to know who that is and what that looks like. If anxiety or depression is getting in your way, we will work with your thoughts and behaviors, and use mindfulness skills for symptom management.

Have you ever just felt..stuck? Almost like no matter what you try to change or improve, you just feel like your wheels are spinning, and you are exhausted. My ideal client is someone who is just ready to feel better. They may not exactly know what is going on or why they are feeling the way that they do, all they know is that they just..want..to..feel..better.

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.
