Do you think you might have ADHD?

Are you struggling with distractibility, disorganization, difficulty managing your emotions, or impulsivity? Adult ADHD is real and for many adults with ADHD, these and other symptoms have a significant impact on everyday life. For adults with ADHD, help is available. There are environmental changes that you can make to cope with ADHD and, for some people, medication might be appropriate.

How do I make an appointment?

To schedule an appointment, fill out this form and I will contact you to set up a time for us to talk. We can talk via a secure virtual meeting platform, over the phone, or via email, whatever you prefer.

  • There are reasons to pursue an ADHD diagnosis as an adult. First, an assessment conducted by a professional who has expertise in the diagnostic process from a neurodiversity-affirming perspective may be able to help you better understand the ways in which the diagnostic features of ADHD do and do not align with your lived experience.

    Second, an ‘official’ diagnosis may be required to receive certain types of accommodations (e.g., at school, at work) and interventions.

    Third, in collaboration with a neurodiverse-affirming professional, you will be able to work together to identify your strengths and challenges and to develop strategies that build off your strengths and allow you to live the life you want to live.

  • I will work collaboratively with you throughout the assessment. After all, your are the best expert on you!

    The first step will be a meeting between you and me that will last about an hour. At that time we will talk a lot about your background and current concerns and decide together what makes sense in terms of an ADHD evaluation.

    We will meet at least one more time after that. At this appointment I will ask questions to learn more about how get along in the world. We will talk a lot about your experiences at work and at home, and I will want to know about how things were for you when you were a child and teenager, at school and as you were growing up.

    For many people, it makes sense to complete a neurocognitive assessment as part of an ADHD evaluation. The reason for this is that we know that the brains of many people with ADHD work differently than the brains of people who do not have ADHD. It can be helpful to understand more about how your brain does things like process information and focus.

    At our last meeting we will go over the results of the assessment together and talk about next steps for you. I will send you a report that summarizes our assessment and the recommendations and supports that we discussed within two weeks of this meeting.

  • I accept BCBS insurance however, even within these insurance companies, policies differ with regard to what is and is not covered. You can ask your insurance company if they cover CPT Codes 90791, 96136, 96137, 96130, and 96131. I can help you with this process.

    If you are not using insurance, I can give you what is called a Superbill that summarizes the assessment. You can submit that to your insurance company and they may reimburse you for all or part of the costs.

    There is a company called Reimbursify which will file a claim on your behalf for a small fee.

    I accept checks, cash, and credit cards. We can split payments into two installments.
