I find that the hardest part of therapy is understanding that it isn't always about rehashing every part of your past to make progress toward a healthier, brighter future. Sometimes it's about having the tools to be resilient enough to get through the pain, the stress and the trauma to persevere in life and make it better. Developing an understanding of anxiety, depression, inattention, anger and other mental health issues can be the start of developing effective strategies to move forward in healing and progressing beyond the roadblocks.

I love working with ADHD; especially those who were missed/misdiagnosed, or made to feel “too much” or “not enough
You are stuck: in your feelings; in a relationship that's lost its spark; under the weight of being everything for everyone. Maybe you are a parent trying to raise tiny humans in a hot mess of a world while still figuring out who you are outside of snack time and survival mode.
I work best with people who are tired of pretending like they are fine. My clients are deep feelers, overthinkers, recovering people-pleasers, and burned-out parents ready to feel like themselves again. Whether you are navigating anxiety, an identity shift, or the general chaos of being a human in late-stage capitalism right now, we can make it make sense.

A mindfulness practitioner since 1986, I began developing the application of mindfulness for specialty disorders in 1997 for clients (anxiety, panic, Attention Deficit Disorders, concussion, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, and other cognitive and neurological disorders).
I enjoy working with individuals who are interested in promoting well-being in themselves and in relation to others. Mindfulness instruction is available as a key component of my therapy should this focus be desired. Studies have shown that a regular practice of mindfulness supports an enriched experience of life, feelings of well being, better ability to cope with stress and pain, reduced panic, anxiety, and fear and better concentration. I currently only offer tele-health, accessible from the comfort of your own home or office.

You deserve to be welcomed exactly as you are—and supported as you grow into who you’re becoming. Maybe there are patterns you’re ready to change, old wounds that still ache, or questions that feel too big to face alone. Maybe you’re trying to thrive in a world that hasn’t always made room for your brain, body, or identity. Whether you're navigating neurodivergence, disability, trauma, grief, or simply the weight of being human, therapy can offer a space to explore what’s shaped you—and help you shape what comes next with intention and care.

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.
