After asking your teenager countless times to clean their room, you walk in to see them playing video games with their dirty socks all over the floor! Now you’re seeing red. You’re either giving in to their bad behavior, snapping in frustration, and then feeling guilty about it. You know your kid needs extra support. His teachers have been throwing around “ADHD” as a diagnosis, but no one has any helpful advice. You’re in over your head. The habits he learns now will affect the rest of his life, and you feel like you’re failing him as a parent. You want what’s best for your child­, but this feels like more than you can handle alone.
Don’t lose hope! Learn to deal with ADHD as a family. Using a comprehensive approach, we’ll create sustainable systems that create a lattice of support for your child. We’ll develop personalized strategies that harness his unique strengths to support their academic performance, emotional well-being, and happiness.
Give your child a renewed sense of agency. Emotional struggles can manifest as self-sabotaging behaviors that limit your child’s potential. Your child deserves a happy and fulfilling future. Together, we’ll develop a concrete plan to set your child on a trajectory of success. Your family is worth it. Call now for your free 15-minute consultation.

I work with individuals from birth to age 30, and their families. My specialty is treating ADHD and other complex issues for which help is often hard to find. First, we identify the problems, root causes, and most important outcomes. Then, we develop a collaborative plan and get to work. Most clients reach their goals within three months, with additional sessions to sustain their progress.

I practice Process Based Therapy, which matches the evidence-based processes of change from the treatment modalities listed (and more) to your individual needs and situation. First, we identify the repeating patterns leading to the same outcomes you DON'T want. Then, we'll identify opportunities to disrupt these vicious cycles and intervene so that you can transform them into virtuous cycles!
