Therapist Overview
I work primarily with those struggling with ADHD and other kinds of self regulation problems including anxiety, anger, eating, as well as depression and mood disregulation . I also provide many different kinds of services including testing for Bariatric Surgery, Juvenile Justice evaluations, Police Candidate evaluations, School evaluations, and ADHD evaluations. Therapy doesn’t “cure ADHD” but it can help improve self awareness and self regulation. While ADHD is my specialty, I see many many kinds of people from age 6 up, using cognitive behavioral techniques in a quiet, private practice. I’ve worked in cities, suburbs and rural areas; with schools from preschool to college both as the counseling director and professor, in group homes, inpatient and outpatient psychiatric facilities; and in private practices. My training after graduate school was at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine’s Kennedy Institute .
