Some of the struggles that people come to talk to me about include procrastination, lack of motivation, worry, and difficulty enjoying life in general. If you find that things just don’t seem to be working out the way they “used to” or maybe you’ve just never quite gotten the hang of things, let’s see if we can’t figure out what’s going on and discuss how to get your life going in a different direction.
I specialize in adult ADD/ADHD issues including time management, focus, organization, executive function, sleep, eating, and efficiency. However, I work with adults and older teens on a variety of other issues that get in the way of living a happy, fulfilling life. Together we can help you create and achieve new goals.
I know it can feel intimidating sometimes to talk to a stranger, or maybe you think your problems aren’t big enough to warrant therapy, but it’s okay to ask for help. Approx. 70% of therapy working is whether you connect with your therapist. So even if you’ve tried before and it didn’t fit, that’s okay, sometimes you have to try again with someone else.

Each week (typically) we will look at the highs and lows of what happened and then see what obstacles got in the way of your goals as well as what helped you create those shining moments. I can help you identify habits, triggers, and blind spots that trip you up in your journey towards the life you want to live.

I typically use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) for most clients as that typically works well with ADHD which is the most common disorder I work with. However, sometimes you may need something else, in which case I know and use many other types of therapy to help you reach your goals!
