My practice has focused on the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD, often with associated psychological disorders such as Depression, PTSD, OCD, Anxiety and Mood Disorders for over 30 years. I provide a collaborative, solution focused approach to changing inefficient or undesirable patterned behaviors. I work with adult students, business professionals, and stay at home parents to help reduce inefficient behaviors due to inattention,distraction,poor memory, impulsivity, and/or mood disorders. I work with couples when one of the partners exhibits ADHD symptoms such s forgetfulness, impulsivity or inattention. My approach is solution focused, with a" what can we do to make it better" approach. Although there is no "cure" for ADHD, most often it can be effectively treated. The results are often quite dramatic, resulting in higher efficiency and reduced conflict at work and home. I help patients learn compensatory skills, to better manage forgetfulness, impulsivity, cognitive focus, irritability, anxiety and depressive states. The evaluation and treatment of adults with ADHD symptoms and associated emotional disorders, may benefit from the use of medications. I work collaboratively with many area psychiatrists and primary care physicians to provide the necessary behavioral tools which in conjunction with medical treatment more often than not, leads to long-term sustainable symptom relief.
