ADHD Treatment

What is ADHD?
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder, or learning disorder, that involves inattention and hyperactivity. ADHD can make it hard to complete schoolwork, pay attention in class, stay organized, do daily activities, and stay focused at work. Additionally, people with ADHD have higher rates of other mental health disorders.

How I treat ADHD
I treat children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD. I have treated people of all ages with ADHD for over 30 years. I use behavioral treatments, which involves modifying your behaviors to align better with your goals. This can involve building habits, recognizing what types of distractions and emotional states get in the way, and creating behavioral plans to get to where you want to go.

Treating children and teens with ADHD
I treat children with ADHD regularly. I work with the parents to help create environments that are beneficial to a child's learning and growth. I can help them with staying focused, behaving in school and at home, making friends, and pursuing their academic and career paths.

Treating adults with ADHD
ADHD can make it much harder for adults to accomplish work and life tasks. Sometimes it holds adults back from moving forward in their careers and lives. Other times, adults with ADHD can have successful careers and lives, but it takes takes twice the effort. However ADHD has affected your life, I can work with you to reach your work and life goals and make doing so less of a constant uphill battle.
