Counselor, LCSWROnline Therapy
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a brain disorder that is typically characterized by a lack of impulse control, an inability to focus and pay attention, and hyperactivity. ADHD most commonly emerges in children and teens and can continue into adulthood. In fact, ADHD is the most common mental health disorder diagnosed in young people and sufferers often have trouble paying attention in school. ADHD must be diagnosed by a qualified clinician. In addition to medical interventions, seeing a mental health practitioner who specializes in the treatment of ADHD can help patients and their families better cope with many of the symptoms.

Our experiences demand a witness to what we have gone through. I am committed to creating a warm, safe, trusting, caring, and non-judgmental space. This will allow you to be heard but also to challenge you to think or act differently. The systemic and biopsychosocial approach that I utilize will help you to better understand the impact your emotions have on your body and how your thoughts and feelings shape your relationships.
Throughout my career I have had the opportunity to develop the skills to treat a broad range of needs. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, health concerns, aging, grief, concerns related to sexuality, sleep issues or work stress; I know that I have tools that will help.

I believe that children will organically talk about their feelings when there is a strong therapeutic relationship.
