I am looking to collaborate with clients who feel disconnected from their lives, their relationships and their bodies in order to restore a regulated nervous system. Using both cognitive tools and creative interviewing I want to assist people who are hoping to hone their communication, to recover from dysfunctional family conditioning and connect with their most resilient selves. I am a trauma-informed therapist who has experience working with complex diagnoses, PTSD, chronic illness, anxiety and depression. My emphasis is helping my clients connect with and discover their own self-awareness, resilience and strength.

As a mental health counselor, it has always been my privilege to work alongside clients. I believe in the power of the therapeutic relationship and the connection that derives our humanity. Each individual has such a personal experience in which their life has been based. I believe in meeting clients where they are at, working toward personal goals, tailoring interventions to meet these needs, and challenging individuals to make changes that ultimately lead to the development of a life in which they feel they can thrive.

I enjoy working with couples, families, and individuals who face a variety of challenges that can accompany lived experiences such as: faith transitions, gender transitions, infidelity, depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, ADHD, and conflict.
As human beings, we come to know who we are through the relationships we’ve had with others. Many people hold onto internalized messages that they’ve carried throughout their life––messages of being insignificant, unworthy, unimportant, or that they aren’t enough. These messages and beliefs cause us pain and can directly influence our behaviors, emotions, thoughts, and how we relate with ourselves and others. Through therapy we work to uncover these deep internalized messages and untangle them from your life so that you can discover the truth about who you really are so that you can start living the life you’ve always wanted.

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.
