As a music therapist, I find meaning in analyzing lyrics. One of my favorite artists, Mac Miller, wrote " We on the same trip, we just got different baggage." In the "trip" of life, we often strive for the same things: happiness, healthiness, success, and connection. However, the "baggage" we carry or the obstacles we face on that road are not always the same, whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, interpersonal issues, and more. The road is never easy, so it's always helpful to have a someone in the passenger seat, aiding you in the journey to your destination.

If you struggle with focus or ADHD, we can use body doubling to help you get unstuck.
You don’t have to keep carrying everything on your own. Lately, the weight of anxiety, burnout, or a major life transition might feel like too much. Whether you are navigating relationship struggles, body image concerns, or just feeling completely exhausted, you deserve a space where you don’t have to pretend you have it all together. From the outside, things might look fine, but inside you feel stuck and unsure how to move forward. I'll work with you to help you move from just surviving to actually feeling like yourself again. Therapy can be a place to finally exhale and make sense of what you are going through

I have experience supporting clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, personality disorders, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, family conflict, suicidal ideations, self esteem, & life’s ups and downs.
In therapy, there’s no “one-size-fits-all” approach because people aren’t one-size-fits-all. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities to meet each client’s unique needs, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), play-based therapy, relational therapy, solution-focused therapy, and psychodynamic therapy.

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.
