I provide treatment for adult ADHD/ADD in Ashburn and surrounding areas in Virginia. I understand it on a personal and professional level and view it as a gift, rather than a drawback.   I work with clients to help them learn important skills for minimizing distractions, regulating emotions, managing impulsivity, and increasing organization. Additionally and of equal importance in the treatment of adult ADHD is a focus on the secondary issues such as shame, anxiety, low self-image, depression, rejection sensitivity and substance abuse.

I work with clients from a place of support, empathy, and understanding, while utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and individualized treatment plans. We will identify the strengths you have as a result of having ADHD such as creativity, spontaneity, a willingness to try new things, the ability to hyperfocus, and an endless amount of energy. Most adults with ADHD also choose to address the effect that ADHD has had on their relationships. I work with individual clients, couples, and families to increase understanding, strengthen bonds and build support.

If you choose to take medicine, I also work collaboratively with your psychiatrist or other medical provider to provide feedback about how your medications might be helping or not. Common medications used to treat ADHD in adults are Vyvanse, Adderall, Ritalin, Concerta, Focalin, Dexadrine, Strattera, and Provigil. If you need a referral to a skilled psychiatrist, I can provide one.
