An Adult ADHD Therapist Who Actually Gets It

Do you ever feel like your brain is juggling too many things at once? You’ve been trying harder than most people realize, yet it still feels like deadlines slip through the cracks, emotions take over, or projects never get finished.

I’ve been there, and I get what it’s like to live with ADHD as an adult. It can be overwhelming - exhausting, even. But you don’t have to figure it all out alone.

You’re not broken—and you don’t have to keep pushing through alone.

With the right support, it’s possible to feel less overwhelmed, more in control, and more hopeful about the future. That’s what I help adults with ADHD achieve: practical solutions, self-acceptance, and real progress that sticks.

I work with clients across New York State, from New York City and Long Island to Westchester and Orange County, as well as here in upstate New York near Binghamton, Ithaca, and the surrounding counties.

New York ADHD Assessment & Diagnosis

Along with therapy, I also offer comprehensive ADHD assessments and official diagnoses for adults. Whether you’re a college student at Binghamton University, Cornell, or Ithaca College, or a working professional in NYC, Westchester, or Long Island, getting an official diagnosis can bring clarity and relief from years of self-blame.
