I am a Certified EMDR Therapist who works at the meeting point of science and the sacred.

My approach integrates EMDR, somatic experiencing, embodiment work, and trauma-informed practices, creating a custom blend that holds your unique experience of neurodivergence.

FAQs about ADHD treatment
-
ADHD manifests as a constellation of symptoms beyond just attention difficulties. You might also notice:
Persistent challenges with time management,
Frequent overwhelm from sensory input,
Difficulty regulating emotional responses, and/or
A tendency to hyperfocus on certain activities while struggling with others.
While these experiences might point to ADHD, many conditions share overlapping symptoms. Professional assessment helps distinguish ADHD from anxiety, depression, trauma responses, or other neurological conditions. Many adults discover their ADHD later in life after years of developing complex coping mechanisms.

Our practice uses EMDR intensives specifically designed for neurodivergent brains.
Unlike traditional approaches that focus mainly on behavioral strategies, our intensive format addresses the deeper emotional patterns and past experiences that amplify ADHD symptoms.
This immersive therapeutic experience allows us to process multiple connected issues in a condensed timeframe, creating momentum that can be particularly helpful for ADHD minds.
By working in extended sessions rather than brief weekly meetings, we can achieve breakthrough insights without the frustration of constantly starting over.
-
No, a formal ADHD diagnosis is not required to benefit from our treatment program.
Many clients come to us with self-identified ADHD symptoms without an official diagnosis. Our approach focuses on addressing your specific challenges, regardless of diagnostic labels.
During our initial consultation, we'll discuss your symptoms and experiences to determine if our EMDR intensive approach would be beneficial for your situation, whether you have a formal diagnosis or not.
-
Our EMDR intensives provide a focused, immersive therapeutic experience that compresses months of traditional therapy into just a few days. You'll work one-on-one with Jessica in our private, comfortable Fort Lauderdale office for 3-6 hours per session (with built-in breaks).
The process begins with preparation and resourcing, followed by targeted EMDR to address ADHD-related challenges, emotional patterns, and past experiences that contribute to your symptoms. Each day builds on the previous one, creating momentum for lasting change.

For clients with out-of-network benefits, we can provide documentation that you may submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement. We're happy to discuss payment options during your initial consultation.

The intensive format works particularly well for the ADHD brain by maintaining momentum and eliminating the "starting over" feeling common in weekly therapy. This approach can help you break free from cycles that have kept you stuck.
