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.

My clients are often facing a significant loss, grief, trauma, or significant life transition (divorce, job loss, illness). Often they are experiencing anxiety, stress or depression. I will work to understand your unique story and to increase awareness, deepen understanding, and support progress towards your personal goals. I primarily work with young adults (17+), adults and elders from all cultural, racial and religious backgrounds. I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and sex positive.

Being human is often tough. Sometimes we lose our way and can feel stuck and overwhelmed. Sometimes we would like to change parts of our lives or ourselves but don’t know how. Therapy can be an empowering way to promote healing, growth, and wellness. Often, we initially seek treatment to address a specific concern and then begin to uncover other areas of our lives in which we want to make meaningful change. My goal is for this process to feel supportive, affirming, and appropriately challenging.

When you work with me we will work together as a team to help you gain the knowledge and skills to help you be successful in the future. In my graduate program I got a lot of experience working with neuroqueer clients from a range of youth to older adults. I have worked with those who have had a diagnosis of ADHD and Autism as well as those who are newly diagnosed and figuring out their new identity as a neurodivergent individual.

Sometimes thoughts, memories, and moods are causing us distress. Often, when we try to express these to others, we are left feeling more confused about what we are feeling or misunderstood afterward. Sometimes words fail us, and we cannot find the right way to express ourselves and feel stuck. No one should have to face what they're going through alone. I am here to support you on your journey. I am sure I will learn just as much from you as you will from me along the way.

I like working with clients who have reason to explore questions of who they are, including neurodivergent (autistic and ADHDers) and LGBTQIA+. Many people wonder why they seem so different from what's expected of them. They may feel alienated from their bodies or their own life experiences. Or, like any human, they may be transitioning into or out of a new or stressful phase of life. Together we would explore unmasking, identity, stress, anxiety, and build onto what's already working.

You might be struggling with something concrete—a challenge in your relationships or a professional hurdle. You might be facing a big decision. Or you simply might know something feels off but are unable to place a finger on what is going on. No matter the issue, I am here to walk you through the process.
