Being human is a messy experience. It’s full of the ache to be cherished, to be loved, to feel a sense of belonging. While riddled with inevitable grief, loss, and suffering. It takes courage to love again even in our awareness of the potential heartbreak, to show up in the world as ourselves, to be vulnerable in fear of rejection, and move towards the things we fear. If you are facing sadness, anxiety, trauma, dependence, finding & contacting a therapist may be just as daunting a process! You are already closer to living your fullest life and truest self by acknowledging you need to look for a therapist!

Many couples find themselves stuck in patterns they don’t understand, repeating the same conversations without resolution and wondering if things can truly change. Couples who work with me begin to understand what is happening underneath their reactions, feel heard in ways they may not have experienced before, and develop new ways of responding to one another that create safety instead of tension. The relationship begins to shift from overwhelming and disconnected to a place of greater clarity, compassion, connection.

I work with clients in their 20s and 30s navigating anxiety, ADHD, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
You’re a young adult feeling anxious, stuck, and unsure of your future. Overthinking, self-doubt, and overwhelm leave you questioning whether you’re good enough. Maybe your relationships feel hard too—repeating the same arguments, feeling misunderstood, or pulling away when things get vulnerable. You want to feel calmer, more confident, and more secure in yourself and your connections. You’re looking for practical, nonjudgmental support that helps you build clarity, purpose, and healthier relationships.

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.
