Are you an adult woman (or AFAB) questioning Autism or
ADHD
? Are you struggling with the stress and anxiety of trying to be "normal?" Do feel socially awkward and experience sensory concerns? You compare yourself to others and often feel overwhelmed to the point of feeling like you are having a meltdown. You feel like you’re different from everyone else and don’t fit in. It’s exhausting feeling out of control, but the good news is, together, we can help you embrace the real you and enjoy life without putting in so much effort trying to please others.

My areas of specialty are
ADHD
, depression, anxiety disorders and neuropsychological and psychological testing.
I believe that personal change takes courage. As a psychologist, I feel that it is my responsibility to guide an individual through this path of change and growth. In my practice I generally use cognitive behavioral techniques and strategies to bolster my client's strengths and help them learn new coping skills in place of ones that have begun to falter. My approach is individualized to your needs and personal goals. I work in both short-term and long-term contexts depending on the patient's needs and preferences.

I have extensive experience working with parenting struggles, trauma,
ADHD
, & chronic illness.
Parenting is difficult as is, but throw in trauma, mental health, and/or chronic illness, and it can feel like we're always treading water with no end in sight. As a chronic illness mama myself, I know how hard it can be to balance caring for our health & our kids! For over 10 years, I have been working with children, teens, & adults. I love working with parents & kids to assist them in meeting whatever goals they have from reprocessing trauma, building self esteem, or managing life transitions. Life can be hard, & I love helping others to recognize all the things worth celebrating in it especially themselves!

When Neurofeedback is Used Children, adolescents, and adults with seizure conditions, behavior disorders,
ADD
/
ADHD
.
WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK??During a neurofeedback session, one or more brainwaves are measured. These brainwaves vary in speed and can be trained to slower or faster waves. Positive values of these brainwaves are rewarded with audiovisual feedback such as a video, music or a game. By using brainwaves as real-time feedback, people can learn to become aware of usually unconscious processes, thereby allowing them to self-regulate physiological processes in order to modulate their brain. During a neurofeedback session real-time audiovisual feedback is provided based on normalized values.

ADHD
, Pre-surgical psychological evaluation), we will use a treatment method in sync with your needs.
It will not come as a surprise to anyone when I say, we all encounter life challenges that can leave us uncertain, preoccupied, or feeling like we are treading water. In moments like these, it can be helpful to meet one on one with a trained psychological professional. These one on one sessions can offer us the space to be heard, discuss our experiences openly, and offer chances for us to see our challenges from more than one point of view. Often when we are able to see challenges from more than one point of view, we can learn from them in ways that can help us grow.

I primarily practice Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), an evidence-based treatment rooted in the idea that many of our normal, common-sense attempts to change or eliminate unwanted thoughts and feelings actually increase our suffering, keep us stuck, and prevent us from fully living. I provide a safe and compassionate space in which to learn to respond to these difficult experiences in new ways that free you up to do what you care about most deeply. We will explore your internal and external worlds, clarify your values and goals, and learn practical skills to help you pursue them.

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.
