Hi! I'm so glad you're here! :) I know how overwhelming and intimidating it can be to look for help. A safe place and a non-judgmental/unbiased ear are highly coveted and sought after in today's society. Therapy can address infinite issues and struggles that arise in daily life. I know it worked for me-- let it work for you!

I graduated from Northwestern University and have worked with individuals of all backgrounds and ages. I live in Ohio and am licensed in Ohio, Arizona and Virginia.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Fredericksburg, VA


I work with adults experiencing ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions and grief. Many of my clients feel stuck or unsure how to move forward, whether that involves improving focus and follow-through, coping with loss, or navigating changes in mood and life circumstances.

You may be overwhelmed, struggling to stay focused, or going through a difficult change in your life that makes you feel stressed out.

With over 30 years of experience in healthcare as both a Licensed Professional Counselor and Registered Nurse, I bring a practical understanding of how physical, emotional, and mental health are connected, especially for adults managing ADHD, focus challenges, and overwhelm.

Hello. My name is Adam and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have worked with adolescents, young adults, adults, families, and athletes on a variety of clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, conflict resolution, relationships, sports counseling, and trauma.
