ADHD therapists and psychiatrists in South Bend, IN

I believe therapy should be a place where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and accepted. Whether you are navigating anxiety, trauma, grief, life transitions, parenting challenges, or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to help you discover your strengths and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, young adults, college students, student athletes, and adults. I have advanced training as a Perinatal Mental Health Certified (PMH C) clinician through Postpartum Support International and as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I also have specialized training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF CBT).

I enjoy helping children build confidence, emotional regulation skills, and resilience. I also have a passion for supporting individuals during pregnancy and postpartum, helping new and expecting parents navigate the emotional challenges that can accompany this season of life. For young adults and student athletes, I provide support for managing stress, performance pressure, relationships, identity, and life transitions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Indiana, Florida, and Missouri. I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Ball State University and my Master of Social Work from Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). My professional experience includes working in schools, hospice care, psychiatric hospitals, and private practice, allowing me to support clients across a wide range of life experiences.

No matter what brings you to therapy, I strive to create a welcoming space where you can feel safe, understood, and empowered.

If you're carrying something that's hard to put into words — trauma, grief, chronic stress, infertility, or the particular weight that comes from serving others— you don't have to figure out how to start the conversation. Whether you are struggling in high school, college, or the world of adulting, I'll help with that. I came back to therapy because I noticed a high number of individuals in need but not enough therapists who are able to navigate cultural diversity in therapy.

I am a Guyanese-born American-raised world traveler who has experienced life and appreciates diversity in all aspects. I bring a holistic lens to my private practice, working with adults and families facing PTSD, trauma, infertility, sleep challenges, and the hard parts of life that don't fit into a tidy category.

I believe your mental health, physical health, and sense of purpose are all connected — and we work with all of it.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and National Board‐Certified Health and Wellness Coach with extensive experience in veteran-centered care, higher education, and community mental health. I have extensive knowledge and practice in individual and group interventions. I am also passionate about process improvements in self and organizations. I have contributed to and led Lean Six Sigma process‐improvement initiatives. Prior to my current role at the VA Hospital, I spent nearly a decade as an Assistant Professor of Social Work and held key administrative roles in field education, accreditation, and curriculum development.

My earlier clinical career includes intensive in‐home therapy, crisis intervention, and supervisory leadership supporting high‐risk children, families, and adults. Across all roles, I am known for my commitment to holistic care, spiritually and culturally responsive practice, and the development of systems that enhance learning, wellness, and community impact.

I'm a licensed clinical social worker who works with individuals navigating trauma, neurodivergence, substance use, relationship and marital challenges, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and LGBTQ+ populations. I use a variety of approaches including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), CBT, DBT, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based interventions, and Emotionally Focused Therapy. Therapy is always tailored to meet your unique needs and goals.

I believe that each person holds inherent wisdom needed to transform pain into healing. Although pain is a natural part of life, it doesn't have to define your future. My belief is that through a trusted relationship, you can access an inner sense of safety needed to heal wounds while honoring your unique journey.

I am deeply committed to supporting individuals on their life journey, fostering an environment for healing, transformation, and empowerment through providing accessible mental health services. I hold training and experience in children/adolescent mental health, and utilize the therapeutic powers of play to meet children where they are.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker educated at Loyola University Chicago. I use a variety of techniques in my practice and am experienced in helping individuals living with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, mood disorders, and thought disorders.

I explore a patient's need for external validation and identify old, negative motivators used to inspire achievement-based goals. I teach self-care and self-regulating practices while modeling healthy attunement. Together, we explore conflict-avoidant behaviors and healthy dependency. Being a highly sensitive person is not a weakness but an empathic strength. I explore the guilt, shame, and fear that cause "analysis paralysis." I analyze unhealthy habits and teach clients to build trust and reconnect with a traumatic body that no longer trusts. You are the expert and I am your guide.
