ADHD

I specialize in working with adult ADHD, particularly those who experienced a late diagnosis. I have lived experience with this dynamic, and provide tips, tools, and support for those who are looking for a diagnosis or are trying to understand recently being diagnosed.

As a therapist with ADHD, I use my lived experience to provide empathy and understanding of the struggles, and I offer a plethora of tips and tricks that help support executive functioning skills. I practice highlighting how ADHD is showing up in your day-to-day life, especially for those who do not have a full awareness of this yet. I am not only knowledgeable about the diagnostic criteria, but I am also aware of related factors of ADHD that are not yet included in the latest DSM.

I grew up in a household overrun by ADHD. This is a major reason I have been so intentional about managing my own and enjoy doing this kind of work with clients. I love to help clients with ADHD build skills to help them organize their thoughts and environment. It can be a lot of work up front, but after we have put some systems in place, many client's find significant symptom relief.

As someone who has navigated the challenges of this diagnosis myself, I am able to deeply understand and support client's living with the challenges ADHD poses.

Assessing symptoms of ADHD and prescribing medication management for symptoms.

Helping individuals develop skills and strategies to improve organization, focus and attention to details with a variety of issues.

I believe that ADHD can be a superpower, once we learn how to work with it. As someone who experiences ADHD myself, I am familiar with how frustrating it can be to try to navigate a neurotypical world with a neuro-spicy mind. My approach to ADHD treatment is to harness the benefits by encouraging creativity while building skills for increasing executive function, building tools to organize and simplify daily living.

You deserve cutting edge, practical information from a clinician that knows their shit…. and values your lived experience and the feedback of the communities we serve. We know that lived experience is what makes therapy useful and without it, we wouldn’t be here.

I'm passionate about helping adults with undiagnosed or poorly managed ADHD get the help and support they need!

Do you feel like you have to slow down for everyone? Want a therapist who can keep up with you? Who will interrupt you in a helpful way to keep you focused and on track in sessions? You're in the right place! We'll work together on mitigating the practical challenges of ADHD (disorganization, distractability, etc) in manageable steps so you can function better, while also unpacking the deeper effects of this "disorder" like shame and self-consciousness.

ADHD doesn't mean just struggling with attention and being fidgety. Executive function helps individuals control their emotions, impulses, and relationships. Those who struggle with ADHD/ADD/EFDD often struggle with anxiety and depression als well as many other nero divergent concerns. Getting qualified help can make a big difference.

My therapies include problem-solving strategies, social interaction techniques, and other issues addressed from the perspective of a neurodivergent individual.

Behavioral Health Clinic provides comprehensive testing for ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults, in-person and online. We utilize best practices for assessments, listen to your unique life story and needs, and utilize the latest research to answer your questions and provide you with the tools you need to improve your daily functioning at home, school, work, and the community.

I help preteens, young adults, and adults with ADHD to be as functionally independent as they can in their daily lives by providing executive function and cognitive supports to organize themselves, create systems that work for them, and to participate in meaningful activities that can be related to school, work, play/leisure, rest & sleep, and home management.

ADHD is a condition which both limits and expands attention. Most people who have this condition are troubled not only with being either inattentive or hyper-focused, but also with secondary conditions, such as anxiety & depression, greater impulsivity, drug use, or other disrupting behavior. It is easy to focus on these secondary symptoms, and overlook the ADHD itself. I show people with ADHD how they can use this condition to their benefit.

ADHD is one of the most common neurodevelopmental disorders of childhood. It is usually first diagnosed in childhood and often lasts into adulthood. Children with ADHD may have trouble paying attention, controlling impulsive behaviors at times may act without thinking about what the result will end up been, or been overly active.

ADHD is one of the most misunderstood mental health diagnoses in the field, especially for persons who do not identify as male. As a professional with ADHD, I have a fresh outlook on neurodivergence and do NOT believe in "no excuses" or toxic habit-forming structures. Instead, I guide you to understand your neurodivergence and capitalize on the strengths you already possess, while helping you cope with the difficult demands of living in an oftentimes inflexible, unsupportive society.
