My clients are adolescents and young adults (ages 13-35) with mood disorders such as depression and bipolar disorder, possible suicidality, symptoms of trauma or PTSD, anxiety or severe stress disorders, and substance use and addiction. Struggling with life transitions, fitting in or dealing with peers or co-workers, feeling a lack of control over your life, or finding reasons to stay alive—let alone thrive, can feel very intimidating finding a way out. However, you don’t have to face those moments alone or feeling afraid to speak up. When you feel isolated or in the dark, I'll be in your corner without an ounce of judgment.

Where to even begin? Sometimes it's hard to know. Do you feel overwhelmed by your day-to-day responsibilities or unexpected events? Are you confused about your path in life, feeling unheard or misunderstood, full of self-doubt? Are you experiencing heartache, the stress of caregiving, or a chronic illness? Maybe you’re feeling stuck, or about to embark on a big life transition? Are you anxious or sad for what sometimes feels like no reason? Whatever questions you have about life and where you are heading, therapy can provide a needed pause to determine the steps to make life feel more manageable and ultimately more fulfilling.

People come to therapy for many reasons, but predominantly because they are suffering. They find themselves in difficult and painful situations, or are plagued by anxiety, depression, self-loathing or obsessions. But it's not the situation in which you find yourself that is the main source of your suffering, nor is it the unwelcome "stuff" in your mind. The source of suffering is your inability to live fully in the present and your avoidance of, or resistance to, your thoughts, feelings and situations as they manifest themselves. I will help you soften your resistance, and in doing so, find happiness and peace of mind.

Do you find yourself feeling worried regarding your family, relationship or work? Are you concerned about your child's behavior or your relationship with them? Many of my clients have considerable insight into their situation, but most find it difficult to change unproductive behavioral patterns or just "make" themselves feel better. I believe that change begins with knowing that no one is perfect...that every once in awhile we can all benefit from someone who will listen and guide us through our personal journeys.

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.
