Originally from New York, I hold a masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a BA in Neuroscience. I worked at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies for thirteen years alongside world-class health and wellness experts, which brings depth to my work as a psychotherapist. I studied Buddhism and have practiced yoga and meditation for over 20 years. Clients describe me calm, warm and resourceful. Client testimonials can be found on my website.
Many of my clients look like they have it together—but inside, they feel stuck, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed in their relationships. I help adults untangle painful patterns rooted in emotional neglect, people-pleasing, or past relationships that felt confusing or unsafe. Together, we’ll slow down, go deep, and help you get to the root of the issue.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Tampa, FL
Searching for ADHD therapists in Tampa starts with knowing what kind of support fits your needs. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, cognitive behavioral therapy for ADHD, planning, organization, and emotional regulation. Medication management is different and is usually provided by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some use both. If you are searching for adult ADHD therapy near me, an ADHD behavioral therapist near me, or support for a child or teen, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match the age group, concerns, and care style you want.
Tampa offers a range of therapy options, from local offices to virtual appointments across Florida. In a mid-size market, your search may include therapists near your neighborhood, therapists with flexible virtual availability, or ADHD specialists who also work with anxiety, depression, school stress, or work stress. These concerns can appear alongside ADHD, so it helps to choose a therapist with experience across more than one area when that matches your needs. Review therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their approach, session structure, ADHD experience, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Therapy in Tampa can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway makes it easier to find therapists, including many who accept insurance, are accepting new patients, and offer clear booking options. You can enter your insurance details to see estimated out-of-pocket costs before your first session, then compare bios, availability, and appointment format so you can find a therapist who matches your needs 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.
