I have experience working with depression, anxiety, trauma, self-esteem, ADHD, stress-management, relationships, and divorce.
Every accomplishment starts with the decision to try. It can be uncomfortable, even scary starting therapy, but taking that first step can lead to tremendous change towards a truly fulfilling life. I value the importance of human relationships and each individual that I work with. There is no better expert of your own story than you, yourself. As a therapist, I strive to provide my clients with the necessary support in order to achieve each individual’s desired outcomes.

I specialize in complex trauma (C-PTSD), dissociation, addiction, depression, anxiety, relationships, and ADHD. Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. People often carry their pain for years; scared that they are broken, that they don’t deserve happiness, or that changing will only make things worse. But the fact that you are here now shows that a part of you wants more from life, and is ready to try again. Though it takes courage and perseverance to face this pain and risk trusting another person to help, I hope you will listen to the part of you the brought you here today.

You’re torn, reliving the painful experience over and over in your mind. Your body betrays you. Your emotions run out of control. Anger and sadness give you whiplash – they come on so fast. The incident is ever-present in your mind. Your life hasn’t been the same since. It’s a constant struggle to get out of bed most days. Every day is full of triggers that can send you running to the bathroom to cry. A loud noise, a stranger’s voice, there’s nowhere to hide. You’re beginning to lose hope. You don’t understand why you’re not over it already. It feels like you’ll never climb out of this hole. You’ve suffered in silence long enough.

Becoming a therapist has been my dream since I entered high school. Growing up within my family, I am known as the person everyone can go to with their issues, challenges, and struggles. The struggles, anxiety, depression, grief, and self-doubt we face with a therapeutic relationship can help bring healing and growth in those areas. My concern is to help families and individuals who feel drained and emotionally down have the support and help to bring them back to a stage of happiness and peace.

I focus on practical, real-world strategies that build security and connection through a balance of nurture, engagement, structure, and challenge. These strategies are a resource that can then be utilized through different life experiences, stages, and adversity.

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.
