Attention-deficit Disorders

It was once thought that children outgrew ADHD, but now we know that many teenagers and young adults continue to have difficulty regulating attention and impulsivity. Attention-deficit disorders among girls are often overlooked and undiagnosed. Gifted children may not be diagnosed until the increased demands of middle and high school affect their academic performance. Adolescents often find the transition to college difficult to manage. All children with ADHD struggle with self-esteem and relationships with peers.
  • I help children and adolescents improve their peer relationships, time management, organization, and problem-solving skills.
  • I work with parents to better manage their child's behavior and support his or her academic success.
  • I help teenagers decrease risky behavior, develop healthy dating relationships, and set goals for their future.
