I help individuals, couples, and families work through relationship challenges, stress, ADHD, and life transitions.
Self improvement is a journey, and you just being here right now means that you have taken the first step, so congratulations and welcome. We all have a story, and some parts we would like to forget. The only problem is facing the hard parts can make us a much better version of ourselves, and that is my main focus. I like to get to the root of an issue by exploring the things that shaped and taught a person how to handle it. On the other side of those things that seem so small, so unimportant, is unimaginable healing and peace. If you'll let me, I would love to have the privilege of seeing you through that journey.

I work best with kids who feel deeply but don’t always have the words to match their emotions. Maybe they’re quick to anger, often anxious, or struggle to manage big feelings—and it’s not that they don’t want to do well, they just need a space where they can safely figure things out.That’s why I use Child-Centered Play Therapy—because play gives children the freedom to express themselves in the way that feels most natural to them. The families I support are looking for more than behavior charts or surface-level strategies.They want their child to feel seen, understood, and supported—not just in therapy, but at home and in the world.

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.
