How do you work with clients with ADHD?
When working with clients with ADHD, I take a comprehensive approach to address their unique needs. I begin by conducting a thorough assessment to understand their symptoms, challenges, and strengths. Based on this assessment, I develop a personalized treatment plan, which may include a combination of medication, therapy, and behavioral strategies. I also provide education and support to help clients and their families better understand and manage ADHD. Additionally, I utilize telehealth to offer convenient and accessible care, ensuring clients can receive support regardless of their location. Throughout the process, I maintain open communication and collaborate closely with clients to optimize their treatment and improve their overall quality of life.
I am a certified Physician Assistant and completed my master's degree at Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, IL. I have several years of experience as a Family Medicine Physician Assistant, operating as the sole medical practitioner of my outpatient community health clinic. I manage an extensive array of acute and chronic health conditions, with a significant portion of my practice dedicated to diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders ranging from mild to severe. I have a passion for ensuring that those struggling with mental health issues receive prompt and effective treatment, as I understand the substantial toll that untreated ADHD, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other mood disorders can take on someone's life. I strive to ensure that each of my patients always feel heard and acknowledged. With mental health recognition growing over the previous decades, my healthcare goal is to continue providing further access to necessary mental health resources to those in need. This is why I utilize telehealth examinations to help remove barriers to accessing this crucial area of healthcare. As my patient, I will always aim to deliver the safest and most effective treatment plans available to improve your mental health, helping you to be the best version of yourself.

How do you work with clients with ADHD?
Amidst the tangle of thoughts that coincide with ADHD, anxiety, and depression, maintaining focus can become a Herculean task. Our approach is directed towards finding the right medication to enhance neural communication, making daily tasks less daunting and life less chaotic. To counteract scattered focus, we employ a plethora of techniques and therapies. These include cognitive-behavioral therapy, psycho-education, time-management coaching, and tailored medication plans for enhancing neuronal communication. While we currently don’t prescribe stimulants, we leverage a variety of other medications to improve focus and cognition. Our prescribers work with you to develop a personalized medication plan to optimize neurologic communication and smooth your path to enhanced focus.

Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
Online Therapy
Welcome! I'm a passionate healthcare professional dedicated to providing compassionate and effective telehealth therapy. With a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness, I offer supportive counseling services for adults and older adolescents. My experience in counseling and case management has equipped me with the skills to provide impactful mental health therapy, ensuring my clients receive the care and support they deserve. I see clients almost exclusively during morning hours, up until noon (CST) and can easily accommodate people with non-traditional schedules, since I have appointments as early (or late!) as 1am CST. Just like a good workout, a therapy session first thing in the morning can help you start your day off right. In addition to counseling, I've been instrumental in developing innovative strategies for Medicaid Special Needs programs, emphasizing quality assurance and improvement in Illinois. My cross-functional leadership has enabled me to work collaboratively with community partners, optimizing program outcomes and enhancing quality of care. I hold certifications as a Case Manager (CCM) and Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), which reflect my commitment to providing holistic care. I'm dedicated to meeting my clients where they are at, and helping them to achieve their mental health goals, without judgement. My goal is to help you navigate your health journey with expertise, empathy, and unwavering support. Let's work together towards your well-being.
