ADHD is more than distraction or being unable to sit still. It affects every aspect of our lives. Maybe you're struggling with procrastination, time blindness, feeling "edgy," forgetting things, missing deadlines. You call yourself lazy but you just can't get moving to get things done. Maybe you've been told you're too sensitive- feeling easily hurt or angry. Those of us w/ ADHD often feel shame and embarrassment from our actions- like saying things we regret or acting impulsively. We constantly feel like failures, always trying to hide our embarrassment. We'll often pretend we're fine and push through, but life feels overwhelming.

I work with parents and children with learning, behavioral and emotional needs. If you are struggling with your child's behavior, feel that your family and friends do not understand your child or are judging your parenting, and have "tried everything," I would like to offer a safe place for you and your child to talk and get support. If you have concerns with your child's learning process and suspect that your child may have a learning disability, ADHD , or Autism a psycho-educational evaluation can help to identify strengths and weaknesses, factors that impede learning, and may result in a diagnosis.

Would you like to feel more comfortable in your own skin? Often the world sees our outer accomplishments as impressive, but on the inside, many of us feel insecure or lonely. I will help you identify the roots of your insecurities and together we will create opportunities for higher self-regard and better choices. Would you like to learn how to put the past behind you and let go of negative thoughts and feelings? Many times we have to create coping skills and habits to survive difficulties in our younger life, but find those do not work as well in adulthood. This can lead to a persistent feeling of being stuck.

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.
