I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Hello, and welcome. Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of purpose, fulfillment, or passion? Do you feel misunderstood by the people around you, or find yourself repeating unhealthy patterns that no longer serve you? Perhaps you want things to change but are unsure where to begin.
“It is okay not to be okay.” Life’s unexpected challenges can leave us feeling emotionally exhausted, uncertain, and alone. You do not have to navigate those experiences by yourself. I provide a private, safe, and supportive environment where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences while building greater self-awareness, healing, and resilience.

Many of the individuals I work with come to therapy feeling emotionally drained, overwhelmed, and trapped in patterns of survival rather than truly living. They may find themselves constantly overthinking, struggling to relax, carrying the weight of past experiences, feeling disconnected from their emotions, or wondering why they no longer feel like themselves. Others may be experiencing relationship challenges, difficulty trusting others, or feeling stuck despite their best efforts to move forward.
Using a person-centered, trauma-informed approach, I provide a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where you can safely explore your experiences, gain deeper self-understanding, and begin healing at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Together, we will identify the patterns that may be keeping you stuck, develop healthier coping strategies, and work toward creating meaningful and lasting change.
I believe that healing happens within the context of a strong therapeutic relationship. My approach is grounded in empathy, authenticity, and genuine connection, allowing you to feel heard, understood, and supported throughout your journey. Whether you are processing trauma, navigating anxiety or depression, struggling in your relationships, or facing a major life transition, our work together will focus on helping you reconnect with your strengths, build self-confidence, improve emotional well-being, and create a more fulfilling and balanced life.
With 18 years of experience in the mental health field and 7 years as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in working with adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship difficulties, emotional overwhelm, and life transitions. My passion is helping clients move beyond merely surviving and toward living with greater peace, resilience, connection, and purpose.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a ADHD Therapist in Fort Wayne, IN
Finding ADHD therapists in Fort Wayne 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 strategies, planning routines, or support with school, work, and relationships. Medication management is a separate type of care offered by psychiatrists and other qualified prescribers. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some work with both. If you are searching for adult ADHD support, pediatric ADHD therapy, ADHD testing in Fort Wayne, or help for co-occurring anxiety or depression, review each therapist’s listed specialties and approach before booking.
Fort Wayne has a meaningful local mental health care market, and virtual appointments can add more options if nearby office availability, school schedules, work hours, or transportation shape your search. For ADHD care, it helps to look beyond the specialty label. Consider whether the therapist works with adults, children, or teens, whether they offer appointment times that fit your calendar, and whether they provide a free phone consultation. Reading therapist bios can also show how they describe structure, communication style, and experience with ADHD alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, learning differences, or stress.
Therapy in Fort Wayne can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, enter your insurance details, and see your estimated cost before you book. From there, you can compare fit, choose between virtual and in-person care when available, and book directly when you are 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.
