ADHD

Have you wondered if you have ADHD but never sought treatment? You are not alone. During the last couple of years many adults have wondered whether their struggles might be attributed to ADHD. Untreated symptoms impact many areas of life, from career and relationships to health and financial stability. I am experienced in providing treatment that is focused on the unique needs of adults with ADHD. If you suspect you may have ADHD reach out to schedule a free phone consultation.

During my work in both child welfare and private practice, I have interacted with many clients that identified as neurodivergent or have neurodevelopmental disorders. Over the past couple of years, I have gained expertise in neurodevelopment disorders through participation in several trainings. I plan on continuing to learn interventions that will help clients manage difficulties in organization / planning, relationships, concentration, emotional regulation, etc.

I have attended several additional trainings to increase my competency such as attaining the PESI ADHD Certified Clinical Services Provider training (and attaining the Certificate from Evergreen Certifications 219743 / 2023), completing the "Becoming a Neurodivergent- Affirming Clinician" training, and attending the "Neurodiversity Symposium". I also have lived experience.

I approach my work with individuals from a place of compassion and empathy, understanding that by the time someone comes to work with me, they may have experienced shame or embarrassment about some of their struggles. I offer coaching using a structured and supportive approach to help individuals affected by ADHD and executive function issues. During our sessions, we work on time management strategies, daily life skills, Realistic goal setting, and self esteem/ self worth.

I am an ADHD Certified Clinicial Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP).

More recently, adults have had an increase in ADHD diagnoses. Clients I have worked with have found success in working on routine building, treating the comorbidity of anxiety, and understanding/accepting self and navigating a world not built for the neurodivergent mind.

If you have a neurodivergent brain like I do, chances are, you’ve developed a variety of tools to manage in a neurotypical world. Maybe these tools are no longer working or new roadblocks have gotten in the way. Maybe you are exhausted by efforts to mask your neurodivergence. Therapy can help you understand and appreciate your brain, identify and maximize strengths, develop a sense of authenticity, increase self-compassion, improve self-image, and learn effective problem-solving strategies.

Another neuro-spicy disorder, i am familiar with how this impacts people and changes presentations of other struggles such as anxiety and depression. I have worked with countless clients who fall in this category, and helped them improve their functioning and better understand how they operate.

I have a great deal of experience and enthusiasm for working with couples where one or both partners have ADHD. The differences in how ADHD brains process information compared to neurotypical brains can often create misunderstandings and challenging communication patterns in relationships. My goal is to foster empathy and understanding for each partner's unique experience while providing practical strategies for managing shared responsibilities and for preventing (or recovering from) burnout.

I work with children and adults that have been diagnosed with ADHD. I also provide assessments. I specialize in DBT and emotional regulation training to assist with coping mechanisms and life strategies.

We offer comprehensive ADHD testing to determine whether you or your child has ADHD. It can also rule out other explanations for ADHD-like symptoms. We take a careful approach, gathering all the necessary information so that you can be confident in the results. We also provide therapy to help clients manage ADHD symptoms, and we work with children, teens, and adults.

I work with a wide range of neurodiverse individuals and aim to help clients to learn basic mindfulness techniques and lifestyle changes to address ADHD symptoms and improve daily functioning.

ADHD impacts every corner of a person’s life, from how they see time to how they operate in relationships. I don’t just give “tips and hacks”, I work with the person to better understand themselves, their brain, their strengths, and how we can work with the special brain you have to live more comfortably.

As a psychologist specializing in ADHD, I am dedicated to helping clients of all ages navigate the unique challenges and strengths associated with this condition. I offer evidence-based strategies to improve focus, organization, and emotional regulation while supporting self-acceptance and resilience. My approach is tailored to each individual, whether you’re managing ADHD for the first time, facing school or work-related struggles, or seeking support for relationships and self-esteem.

As someone who deals with ADHD I have well versed in interventions such as the Pomodoro technique to manage distractions.

Do you identify as neurodiverse, living with autism, ADHD, or giftedness, and seeking understanding, support, and empowerment? As a fellow neurodivergent person, I understand the unique challenges you face in a world that may not always appreciate your differences. Together, we will explore your individual strengths, develop effective coping strategies, and cultivate self-acceptance and self-advocacy. I provide a safe and inclusive space where your neurodivergent experiences are honored.
