Therapy can be such an overwhelming process to get started with, especially when you may also be struggling with ADHD, trauma symptoms, or anxiety that make everyday tasks feel monumental. For marginalized people in particular, feeling safe and truly seen by their therapist may be particularly challenging. As a Black, queer, neurodivergent therapist with 10 years experience, my approach is relational, strengths-based, person-centered, affirming, and anti-oppressive. Together we'll implement accessible, functional strategies to help you close the gap between the life you're living and the life you envision for yourself.

My goal is to foster a warm, accepting, and respectful environment where we celebrate the beauty of ADHD while exploring and addressing the practical, emotional, psychological, and relational impacts of being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world.
I feel both honored and privileged to partner with individuals and couples to build their understanding of their challenges, leverage their strengths, and create personalized strategies to make meaningful changes in their lives. As a therapist with ADHD, I recognize that one of the most painful experiences that come with ADHD is feeling “in your own way” and the sense of thwarted potential that comes along with it. I also know that ADHD doesn’t just impact attention, organization, and motivation; it can affect your entire life, from your performance at work to your home life and inner world.

I specialize in helping adults with ADHD develop strategies for success.
Ever feel like you're on a constant mental treadmill? You try to focus, but tasks take forever. Sleep feels like a luxury. Your home is a disaster zone, and arguments with loved ones leave you drained. The inner critic is on repeat, blasting you with guilt about "shoulds" and "could-have-beens." Maybe you're forgetful, restless, or easily overwhelmed. Work feels impossible to manage, relationships are difficult and you wonder if you'll ever get it "together." If you suspect ADHD is holding you back, you're not alone. Many adults with ADHD share these experiences. But with the right support, you can unlock your full potential.

I work with people struggling with general life transitions, self-esteem issues, and ADHD. Most of my clients feel "stuck" in life or feel like "bad adults" because they struggle with managing their lives/responsibilities or struggle with feeling positively about themselves. I frequently work with people navigating new phases of life who are trying to figure out the transition and how it may impact their identity. I really enjoy working with individuals and couples who are highly motivated to make change and have the desire for a deeper understanding of themselves, and their relationships, but may be unsure of where to start.

I work with children, teenagers, and adults to assess for Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, social/emotional difficulties, and more.
For those currently feeling challenged by school, work, relationships, anxiety, executive functioning, or mood regulation, an accurate assessment can provide appropriate diagnoses, treatment plans, and a deeper self-understanding. Life's challenges are complex and knowing how to navigate them can be overwhelming. I conduct comprehensive psychological and psychoeducational evaluations to empower individuals and families. Using a systemic and individually tailored approach, an evaluation is used for identifying strengths, learning styles, and limitations. This allows for specific treatment and/or school-based recommendations.

ADHD Therapists
When should I seek treatment for ADHD?
You should seek treatment for ADHD if you consistently have difficulty with attention, hyperactivity, or impulsivity that interferes with your daily life. Symptoms of ADHD include the inability to sustain attention during tasks, difficulty organizing tasks and activities, being easily distracted, frequent fidgeting or squirming, and talking or interrupting excessively. If these symptoms interfere with your career, academics, or relationships—for example, consistently failing to complete professional projects on time—you should seek an evaluation for ADHD.
How does treatment for ADHD work?
Effective treatment for ADHD often consists of medication, behavioral therapy, and lifestyle changes. Stimulant medications such as Adderall and Ritalin work by altering levels of neurotransmitters in the brain; higher levels of dopamine and norepinephrine are known to improve attention and focus. Therapy works by helping people with ADHD understand the condition, discuss their areas of difficulty, and develop behavioral strategies to manage their symptoms. In some cases, modifying one’s diet and exercise can also help improve symptoms.
Are there specific medications for ADHD?
Medications to treat ADHD are generally stimulants, the most common are Adderall and Ritalin. There are two categories of stimulants: Amphetamines include Adderall, Dyanavel, Vyvanse, and Dexedrine, and methylphenidates include Ritalin, Concerta, Daytrana, Focalin, Quillichew, Quillivant, and Metadate. Non-stimulants and antidepressants may be used as an alternative if stimulants aren’t effective or viable for a particular patient.
How long does treatment for ADHD take?
It’s tough to give an exact time frame because everyone varies. In terms of medications, stimulants begin to work very soon after you take them, generally within the hour. It may take time to identify the right medication and dosage, but the medication itself is fast-acting. In terms of therapy, it takes time to develop skills and put them into practice, but you will likely see improvements within a few weeks or months.
