For Adults With Anxiety, ADHD, and Relationship Struggles

Serving Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati, Dayton, Akron, Toledo, and all over Ohio—virtually.

I help individuals and couples across Ohio manage anxiety, adult ADHD, high-conflict relationships, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that leaves you questioning everything.

Whether you're stuck in the same argument, unsure whether to stay or go, or simply tired of carrying it all — therapy can help you slow down, feel again, and move forward.

I'm a neurospicy ADHD cisgender straight old GenX chick from Ohio who will make sure your time and money are spent well!

Emotional Regulation Skill Building

  • I’ve supported over 1,100 individuals and couples through more than 10,000 clinical hours over the past several years. 97% of our clients report improvement in their primary concern, and 92% meet their treatment goals within a year. With an 87% retention rate beyond six months and only 28% returning due to relapse, our approach focuses on teaching long-term skills that truly last.

  • We use a blend of proven approaches—including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy (EFT), and Attachment Theory—to help clients build lasting skills. Whether you're navigating anxiety, communication breakdowns, or relationship struggles, our sessions are practical, supportive, and focused on real results that hold up over time.

  •  I am dedicated to helping my clients overcome the debilitating symptoms anxiety and adult ADHD, 

    I work with couples in high conflict situations to facilitate communication and understanding, helping them recover from affairs and rediscover their connection.

    My goal is to empower you to take charge of your emotional health and navigate the complexities of your relationships.

  • Sessions are held virtually, in the comfort and privacy of your own space. You’ll find a nonjudgmental, no-blame environment where nothing is off-limits. It’s a safe place to explore your thoughts, relationships, and emotions—while learning practical tools to shift how you experience yourself, others, and the world around you.

  • I’m a proud ally who recognizes that gender identity and sexual orientation are biologically wired, not choices, phases, or moral issues. I don’t separate LGBTQ+ clients into a special category because I treat everyone—transgender men and women, same-sex and polyamorous couples, straight and cisgender individuals—with the same respect, care, and clinical focus. Human diversity isn’t something to tolerate—it’s something to honor. I’m grateful every day for the richness my clients bring to this work.
