I have been practicing as a therapist for 13 years, and have had a wide range of experience within that time. I have worked with at-risk youth in shelters, supported young adults and teens with mental health treatment after hospitalization, to now providing individual therapy in an outpatient setting. I earned my Master's in Social Work in 2014, and have been practicing with my LISW. I have mostly worked with mood disorders, like anxiety and depression, or with trauma (PTSD). As a lesbian with ADHD myself, I also specialize in neurodivergency and LGBT+ issues.
I am trained in EMDR to assist individuals to heal past trauma and grief. I offer ADHD testing and counseling for youth and adults. I treat individuals with depression and anxiety. I have been a licensed professional clinical therapist for over 8 years.
I am a double board-certified family and psychiatric/mental health nurse practitioner. As a Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, I believe that healing begins with understanding. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you can share your story without judgment and work toward meaningful, lasting change. I provide individualized, evidence-based care for adults facing depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar disorders, ADHD/ADD, and sleep disorders.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Cleveland, OH
Searching for ADHD therapists in Cleveland starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, emotional regulation, organization, and follow-through. Medication management is separate and may involve a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some use both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also involve different needs, so review each therapist’s listed specialties, training, and experience before you book.
Cleveland offers a mix of local therapy options, from in-person appointments near your neighborhood to virtual sessions that can add more flexibility to your search. If you are also looking for support with anxiety, depression, stress, or school or work challenges related to ADHD, look for a therapist who lists experience with both ADHD and those concerns. You can also compare appointment availability, session format, therapeutic approach, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can help you understand how each person describes their style, structure, and approach to ADHD care.
Therapy in Cleveland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first appointment. Headway helps you search for ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, compare virtual and in-person availability, review detailed bios, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after your insurance is verified, so you can browse therapists, check fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're already taking psychiatric medication and considering switching providers, talk to your current prescriber before changing or stopping any medication — most psychiatric medications shouldn't be stopped abruptly. Anyone experiencing thoughts of self-harm or in acute crisis should call 988 or go to the nearest emergency department rather than wait for an outpatient appointment.
