ADHD Therapists in Durham, NC

I am a licensed psychologist providing services across the lifespan, although my training has provided me with a strong understanding of child and adolescent development, school based difficulties, and learning differences. A large amount of my training has been at the Duke Center for Autism & Brain Development. I completed my doctorate in School Psychology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and my internship at the CIDD. My master’s degree was completed in Counseling & Guidance at New York University. I specialize in treating children and teens with neurodevelopmental disabilities, including ADHD and autism.

**Please note, I may have a waitlist - email is currently the best way to reach me** **Currently offering services in-person and online in NC only** Do you wonder sometimes why "this is so hard" with regard to school, getting through routines and work, and getting along with others? Are you or your child known for procrastinating? Is planning, getting started with, and/or completing tasks a real struggle? Are meltdowns and frustration or avoidance part of your daily life? Would you like to develop better coping strategies so you/your child can be more relaxed, organized, and balanced? I would love the opportunity to help!

Do you find yourself yearning for more? If you're having trouble seeing past your never-ending to-do list and have put your dreams on hold, you're not alone. For three years now, many of us have struggled with the relentless pressure that comes from being a partner, a parent, an employee, and/or a student in this brave new world. Whether you're experiencing anxiety or depression, looking to explore family-of-origin issues or past trauma, or want to improve current relationships, I can help. My speciality is adult ADHD and I'm particularly interested in the intersection of neurodiversity + parenting.

I am a licensed psychologist specializing in the testing and treatment of ADD / ADHD , learning difficulties, anxiety, OCD, and depression. I have extensive training and experience in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT). I am energetic and take an active, skills-based approach in therapy to help my clients learn effective ways to reduce their stress/anxiety and improve their mood, behavior, organizational skills, time management, and planning skills. I also specialize in conducting comprehensive testing for ADD / ADHD and learning disabilities. Through the testing process, I help people to better understand their strengths and weaknesses, and give them specific recommendations for intervention.

I believe that knowing oneself is an important step in developing a fulfilling life and fulfilling relationships. The story of who we are impacts how we see ourselves, our companions, and our challenges. I specialize in working with younger adults (21-30) and transitional age teens (17-20) experiencing life transitions, anxiety, depression, ADHD /ASD/other learning disabilities, and physical disabilities. I welcome and affirm clients of all identities and backgrounds in my practice.
