Lately you're lucky to make it through a whole day without, at least once, daydreaming about quitting your job, ending your relationship, and starting over in a new state. You don't remember life, work, and relationships being this hard. Plus, now you're experiencing guilt because of these thoughts! You used to enjoy these parts of your life and found real meaning and deep value from them. You can't remember when everything changed and it seems impossible to get back to that place where you felt excited about the day, felt heard and understood, confident, and hopeful. I know you're struggling, but I also see you haven't given up.

You may understand your struggles logically, yet still feel emotionally stuck. Many people find themselves repeating patterns in relationships, anxiety, or reactions they wish they could change. If you’ve ever wondered, “Why do I keep doing this when I know I don’t want to?” you are not alone.
Often these reactions develop from experiences that taught your brain how to protect you. While coping skills can be helpful, understanding the deeper “why” behind these patterns can lead to real and lasting change.

Congrats on taking a step towards positive and lasting change! We all deserve to experience that feeling of peace, comfort, and a purpose that lasts! It IS possible to have meaningful and thriving relationships. Working with adults and adolescents for over a decade, the clients I work with have admittedly benefitted from my warm, motivational, and genuine approach. I am not a therapist who wants to just smile and nod and tell you what you want to hear. I will always listen but apart of the change process will involve us discussing what you NEED to hear in an unconditional way that uplifts and enhances your overall well-being.

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.
