I work with adolescents and young adults who are managing difficult transitions as well as those diagnosed with Autism or ADHD . I also work with individuals who meet criteria for both neurodiversity and high capability, sometimes called twice-exceptional. As a therapist, I will be your ally and advocate, supporting you along the way, as you evaluate and establish your values and skills, and move into a more authentic and happy life.

Rather than battling with your ADHD , what if you could hone in on your strengths and add skills to support you with your goals? Rise in your career, remember your appointments, connect with others, and regain control of your life.
Life as an ADHDer can feel like persisting in a world not built for you. Society has taught you that there's something wrong with your neurodivergence. You got that message from teachers if school became too overwhelming and you couldn't find new coping skills. Or you've had to work harder and longer at your job to still feel behind expectations. Chaos seems to follow you. Even people close to you sometimes think you're "too much" or question if you care, leaving you feeling frustrated and misunderstood. All of this is more confusing if you were diagnosed as an adult, have underrepresented ADHD symptoms, or aren't yet diagnosed.

I have extensive experience in helping people with anxiety, ADD and bipolar conditions.
Hi, All of us, at some point, experience painful life challenges or relationship difficulties that test our ability to cope. I believe the most important relationship in life as adults is with ourself and that this relationship informs all others and is essential in developing intimacy and close, long term connections with others. Therapy is a process of increasing one's self awareness allowing you to make choices of better coping methods ,more satisfying relationships , and a more fulfilling life. I have 30 years experience as a psychotherapist --the last 22 years working in private practice in Bellevue.

Our clients are high achieving millennials, identity-developing gen-zers, people in transition, and people who think deeply about themselves and their growth. Our clients are asking: Why do my emotions feel so out of hand? How do I understand my relational patterns? How is my experience of trauma showing up in my every day life? Do I have ADHD ? Do I have bipolar? Am I on the right medication? Should I take a break from work? How do I manage difficult relationships?

I am a therapist with ADHD , so I love working with clients who have ADHD . I think our similar brains strengthen our understanding of each other and therefore our therapeutic connection. I will never tell you to just “try harder” or “buy a planner” or other things that neurotypicals have said to you (although I do love some good office supplies). Everyone with ADHD is different and deserves personalized exploration of their needs and barriers to help manage symptoms and achieve functioning goals. I also love working with couples who have ADHD , including mixed neurotype couples who are working to better understand one another.

Chances are you've been feeling symptoms of anxiety, depression, and/or ADHD . Life feels overwhelming, getting out of bed is hard, you feel fearful over seemingly small things, you can’t seem to focus, you constantly lose things, you feel out of control, and what’s even worse: all of these symptoms and feelings are negatively interfering with your quality of life. You want help, but finding a primary care provider or mental health professional seems overwhelming and waits are too long.

Hi, I'm Jessica! I help professionals diagnosed with ADHD in adulthood better understand themselves, find a sense of peace, and thrive. I know living with ADHD can be challenging, do any of these sound familiar? You’re a people-pleaser and struggle to advocate for yourself. You seem to have it “all together” from the outside but internally are struggling with anxiety, loneliness, self-doubt, or burnout. You struggle with procrastination, keeping track of all the tasks on your plate, leading to overwhelm. You feel like no one quite fully understands you. It feels like it’s so much easier for everyone else to accomplish goals.

I work with teens and adults who identify as quirky/nerdy, highly-intelligent, introverted, highly-sensitive, or as having ADHD or Autism (or some combination of these). Those with these traits often share something: a sense of outsider-ship, of not quite belonging. This can lead to loneliness, shame, isolation, depressions, self-loathing--all that fun stuff.  I, myself, have 3 or 4 of the above traits, AND was homeschooled on top of it, so my own sense of outsider-ship was crowned with awkward homeschooler social skills :) Working, both on self-acceptance, and feeling like I belong, is something I enjoy sharing with my clients.

Accepting new clients as of January, 2023! I believe that every person has the right to be treated with individual care.

I like to approach helping you with a fresh lens every time, getting to know you, and finding which therapeutic approach to best help your situation.

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.
