I use research-based techniques to help clients cope with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Culturally-responsive and developmentally appropriate practices are incorporated to help clients achieve treatment goals.

Several of our clinicians have had previous careers working in public and private schools and have a through understanding the ways ADHD can impact a student. We also love to work with adults with ADHD. Our clinicians use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and pragmatically work on skills such as organization, empathy, social awareness/skills, and planning. This work often involves parent coaching as well and consultation with teachers/physicians if requested. We offer social skills and executive functioning skills camps/groups as well.

ADHD is more than not being able to focus or concentrate. ADHD affects much more. It is important to understand how ADHD affects our growth and belief in our abilities. Rejection sensitive dysphoria and emotional dysregulation are also aspects of ADHD. If you are struggling to understand how ADHD is affecting you, please let me assist you.
I utilize psychoeducation to better understand the impacts of ADHD on development, then provide useful tools for the deficits that may exist for improved outcomes and coping skills. Depending on the severity, it is important to understand that if there are some delays; it will take patience and acceptance to allow for change and the client will need support.
Are you having trouble controlling your impulses? Getting in trouble at home, school, or work due to behavioral issues? Struggling to manage your time? I am an ADHD-CCSP therapist with experience working with youth in the juvenile justice system who have struggled with their symptoms. ADHD doesn't have to be a negative part of your life. Together we can fight against the stigma and uncover your ADHD superpowers so you can find ways to navigate this diagnosis and excel.
I specialize in helping adults with previously diagnosed ADHD to better manage the impact of ADHD on all aspects of their lives. (ADHD Evaluations are outside the scope of my practice, and I do not make new ADHD diagnosis online.) Unfortunately ADHD does not go away when you turn 18, but it can manifest differently as an adult. Impulsivity in words, actions and emotional reactions, disorganization at home and work, poor self-esteem and negative thinking, and lack of attention during conversations and meetings are just a few of the common impacts adults with ADHD may experience that frequently contribute to job difficulties and relationship conflict. I work with clients using Accelerated Resolution Therapy to help diminish the symptoms of anxiety and depression that often co-occur with ADHD. Then, with Cognitive Behavior Therapy strategies and tools, clients learn how to change their thinking and behaviors to better achieve their goals.
My goal is to enable people to thrive with this particular cognitive style, with a focus on ADHD. I am aware of the difficulties that come with ADHD and provide specialized strategies and support to assist people in maximizing their abilities, sharpening their focus, and achieving their objectives.
