Understanding ADHD – from personal insight to professional passion

I have a passion for helping adults with ADHD live their fullest lives. My commitment to ADHD therapy comes from a personal place - I've spent years trying to understand my own brain and the challenges that come with ADHD. Like many of my clients, I once believed the common myths: that ADHD was just about “not paying attention” or “being lazy.” I learned the hard way how much more complex and nuanced ADHD really is. That personal journey inspired me to become a therapist, so I could help others who feel misunderstood, overwhelmed or stuck – especially those who’ve spent years feeling like the only ones struggling.

My professional background

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Vestal, NY, with extensive experience supporting adults navigating the complexities of ADHD.  I blend evidence-based therapeutic approaches with compassion and practical strategies that respect your unique brain wiring. Whether you’re managing executive function challenges, emotional regulation, or relationship struggles, my goal is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where you can heal and grow.

What you can expect from working with me.

  • Validation and understanding: No shame or judgment – only empathy and respect for your experience.

  • Tailored strategies: Tools and skills designed to fit your strengths and challenges, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

  • Hope and progress: Change is possible, and I’ll be there every step of the way.

Outside of the Office

When I’m not supporting clients, you’ll probably find me working in my garden or trying to teach an old dog new tricks. I'm a pretty level-headed person, and this balance helps me stay grounded; additionally, I have an active Iyengar Yoga practice.
