Let’s be honest — ADHD can be brutal. Your brain feels overloaded, so you do whatever you can to shut it off for a while. Scrolling. Zoning out. Smoking weed or pouring another drink. Avoiding the thing you’re supposed to be doing. Then the next morning you wake up anxious, foggy, frustrated with yourself, and somehow even further behind. Rinse. Repeat. If you or your teenager has ADHD, you may feel like you're constantly trying to keep up with your own mind. The harder you try to “just focus,” the worse it seems to get — and over time, it can easily chip away at your confidence. That’s where therapy can help!
I help people with ADHD break the cycle between distraction and low self-worth. Working with me isn’t about assigning blame or trying to change your brain. I help clients understand their own unique ADHD experience, feel truly understood, and learn to work with their own minds rather than constantly fighting them.
I meet with clients in person in Dupont Circle and online Monday through Friday. If you’re ready to give your brain a break for once, email me today — I’ll respond within 24 hours and we can see if it feels like a good fit.

I'm an out-of-network provider, but most people can receive partial reimbursement from their insurance companies. As we're all aware, our country's managed healthcare system can be quite complicated. I'm here and happy to help guide you through the process whenever you need assistance.
