Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most commonly studied and diagnosed psychiatric disorder in children and adolescents. ADHD is characterized by inattentiveness, hyperactivity or restlessness, disruptive behavior, and poor impulse control. Children with ADHD have an inability to focus and are easily distracted. They also tend to be very physically active and have trouble sitting still. Without treatment, ADHD can affect a child's social development and school performance. With treatment, most children with ADHD improve. Seeing a mental health professional can provide children with ADHD critical help in handling frustrations and building self-esteem. Parents of children suffering from ADHD can also benefit from therapy to help them develop healthy and supportive ways of coping.

Attention Deficit Disorder can strike at any time of life, and often compensation techniques that worked well earlier in life can break down when the challenges of career and family place ever increasing demands on your time, energy, and focus. Society often labels people with attention issues as 'lazy' or 'unreliable', making it feel even harder to feel valued and capable. I understand your needs

Whether you have a diagnosis or not, living with ADHD or what you think might be ADHD can feel like everyone got the memo for "how to life" except you. As someone with ADHD, I know how hard it can be to navigate a world not set up for you. Without creating systems and tools to set you up for success, it can feel like you're always one, two, or three steps behind. You are not broken, and together we can create those systems so you can thrive.

Receiving an ADHD diagnosis for yourself or your loved one can be both relieving and overwhelming. Finding the right support for your family system and for yourself will play a critical role in creating calm in your world. While ADHD is a chronic lifelong condition, it is treatable, manageable, and conquerable. The best decision you can make for yourself and your loved ones is to seek support to learn the skills and address the fears associated with impaired functioning due to ADHD.

A comprehensive ADHD evaluation should include an examination of sleep problems, anxiety, and other factors that can affect focus and attention. As an experienced psychologist, I can evaluate clients for the core symptoms of ADHD and rule out other concerns. A clear diagnosis should be the cornerstone for a robust treatment plan and supports.

When you have ADHD, you face all sorts of barriers and feelings - connected with work, due dates, school, and relationships. Therapy is a safe space to open up, navigate your limitations, and find ways to grow beyond them. I’ll share tools and tips to help you manage those “little things” that tend to suffer when you have ADHD – things like scheduling, routines, and diet. (Check out my website to learn more about my education and therapy practice for ADHD.)

I often work with students and professionals who are great at procrastinating. They often say: "I know what I need to do, but I'm just not doing it". It's confusing for them, and it points to a real limitation: thinking by itself is often not enough. Which is tough because in my experience people with ADHD are often great thinkers, and able to push themselves very hard at times-and in my experience pushing harder isn't the answer either. We can find new ways instead.

Those who identify with ADHD are often highly creative with an abundance of ideas + big picture connections. They can also struggle with managing their time (arriving late, super early, or generally overscheduled), organizing daily life (meeting deadlines, staying on task, paying bills on time), and experiencing strong emotions (intense feelings that are hard to manage). I work with clients to regulate difficult emotions and offer effective time management and organizational techniques.

People who have struggled with learning differences (learning disabilities) may have been shamed, talked down to, and humiliated. When you were younger, you may have been told that you were lazy, and you may have even been made fun of by some of your friends or peers. These types of events in your life can cause you to have low self-esteem, low self-worth, and create other challenges that follow.
