For the past eighteen years, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals, children, and families across both clinical and K–12 educational settings. My professional journey has included roles as a Professional School Counselor, 504 Coordinator/Learning Specialist, and Clinical Therapist, giving me a unique understanding of how emotional, cognitive, and learning needs intersect.
Over time, my view of mental health has expanded. I’ve always been interested in nutrition, movement, sleep, and lifestyle as contributors to emotional wellness. But everything shifted when I began integrating mindfulness, contemplative practices, and a deeper exploration of hormone health—both personally and professionally. Understanding how hormones influence mood, stress, and cognition opened an entirely new dimension of care.
I now approach therapy through a whole-person lens that honors the connection between mind, body, hormones, and environment.
I have been a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker for over 10 years. I love meeting people where they are at and helping them get to where they want to be. I have found a lot of success with clients who are ready for change - signing up for therapy is the first step. If you are ready, let's begin.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an ADHD Therapist in Saint Paul, MN
Finding ADHD therapists in Saint Paul starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Therapy for ADHD may focus on executive function skills, CBT for ADHD, emotional regulation, time management, or patterns that affect school, work, and relationships. Medication management is different from therapy and is handled by a psychiatrist or another qualified prescriber. Some people look for therapy, some look for medication support, and some use both. Adult ADHD and pediatric ADHD can also call for different experience, so look for a therapist whose listed specialties match your age, goals, and concerns.
Saint Paul has a strong mental health care community, with options across local offices and virtual appointments throughout Minnesota. A local Saint Paul therapist may fit well if you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or school. Virtual care can also expand your options, especially if your schedule or location makes regular travel harder. ADHD often appears alongside concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, or relationship challenges, so it can help to choose a therapist with experience across more than one area. Read therapist bios before booking to see how they describe their approach, availability, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Saint Paul can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you compare ADHD therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, check appointment options, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after you enter your insurance details. From there, you can find a therapist who matches your needs, accepts your plan, and is ready to book when you are.
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.
