ADHD/Impulsivity and Behavioral Issues

Reasons why clients seek my help:

  • Parents and kid are always fighting
  • Parents being afraid their kid won’t develop into the happy/healthy adult they dream for them to become
  • Difficulty navigating video games, homework and chores
  • Kid has noticeable pattern of irritable and angry outbursts
  • feeling like you are not living up to your full potential
  • Disorganization in your physical space or feeling disorganized in your thoughts
  • Missing deadlines either because of a lack of motivation or feeling paralyzed by too much pressure or perfectionism

How I help:

I am passionate about parents and kids/teens healing their relationships and working together rather than against each other.

Parents are heavily involved in the therapy process to help create changes at home and coordinate support between home and school. I work on helping parents gain a new perspective on their kid/teen’s behavior and help parents and kids together form mutually agreed solutions to the immediate problems. As we are working on solving these immediate problems we are also working on building coping skills to help support and encourage more independence for the kid/teen in the future.

When working with more independent teens and adults, I work with them individually to identify how their ADHD positively and negatively impacts their life. We focus on specific patterns and areas other their lives they feel stuck in or dissatisfied with to identify the barriers that perpetuate the problem. Together we then explore ADHD friendly coping skills to help clients find strategies that feel like a right fit for them to take steps towards the life they want to build.

While I offer all services both in person and online, I highly recommend meeting in person in my East Lansing office to maximize focus in session.
