ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in Sarasota, FL

Sometimes the way you learned to cope is no longer helping you live the life you want. You may turn to substances when emotions become overwhelming, find yourself reacting with anger you later regret, or feel trapped between anxiety, depression, and painful experiences from your past. These struggles can begin affecting your relationships, family, confidence, and ability to recognize yourself. I provide virtual individual and family therapy in English and Spanish for adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Florida, with a focus on substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and trauma. I also support clients navigating family and relationship issues, PTSD, grief and loss, stress, major life transitions, women’s issues, maternal mental health, identity concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and eating disorders when these challenges intersect with the primary reasons they seek therapy. My goal is to help you understand what is keeping you stuck, reconnect with your strengths, and develop healthier ways to move forward.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a world not built for your brain? I work with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD or high functioning Autism often late-diagnosed, who are tired of trying harder and ready to start trying differently. I provide a space where you don’t have to mask to be heard I also help older adults distinguish between senior moments and lifelong patterns of ADHD. If retirement has removed the structure you once relied on, making it harder to stay organized or present in conversations, we can work together to find clarity. It is never too late to understand your brain and reclaim your happiness.

I've been a licensed psychologist for about 30 years. Over that period, I've worked with clients presenting with all kinds of life situations and presenting problems. I have particular expertise around anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and substance use issues.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, and ADHD across the lifespan, and I work with adults and seniors navigating a range of mental health challenges — including bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorders, sleep difficulties, and more. My greatest strength is building genuine, trusting relationships with my patients. I take the time to listen without judgment, understand each person's unique needs, and create individualized treatment plans that help you feel supported and empowered throughout your mental health journey. Outside of work, I recharge by spending time with my family, traveling, and staying active outdoors.

Provides services from holistic and spiritual lens in addition to a cognitive behavioral approach.

I’ve spent the past 18 years helping people work through the parts of life that can feel complicated, overwhelming, or simply stuck. My style as a counselor is conversational, practical, and down to earth. I want counseling to be a place where you can be yourself, talk honestly about what’s going on, and leave with a clearer idea of how to move forward.

I work with adults, couples, and teens dealing with marriage and relationship concerns, ADHD, anxiety, depression, life transitions, men’s issues, spirituality, medical trauma, and disability. I especially enjoy helping people recognize patterns that may be keeping them stuck and find realistic ways to make meaningful changes.

My own experiences shape the way I approach counseling. I’m a husband, father, business owner, and someone who has had to adapt to significant life changes. Losing my sight as an adult gave me a personal understanding of what happens when life doesn’t go according to plan and how those changes can affect relationships, family, independence, career, and confidence.

I don’t believe counseling needs to feel overly clinical. Sometimes you need a place to say what you’re really thinking, work through frustration, gain a different perspective, and figure out what comes next.

My approach includes Cognitive Behavioral, Solution-Focused, and Narrative Therapy. For clients who want faith to be part of counseling, I can also incorporate a Christian perspective.

I earned my Master of Arts in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Central Florida in 2008 after completing my Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at UCF in 2005. I have worked in private practice since 2008 and am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida.

I work with young adults and specialize in treating depression, anxiety, and codependency. My approach is compassionate, interactive, and tailored to your unique needs.
