ADHD Therapists in Akron, OH

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, various forms of addiction, autism, & more. Are your goals oriented towards reducing maladaptive symptoms, identifying the behaviors you wish to engage in, being the person you want to be, and, ultimately, the life you aspire to live? Do you desire change and growth & are willing to put the necessary effort in? As your counselor, I do not effect change; that responsibility belongs to you. I aim to empower you to recognize your innate strengths, develop them further, and effectively use them towards your goals in life.

If you experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, or perinatal challenges, including identity-related issues faced by BIPOC or LGBTQIA+ individuals, you deserve a safe, affirming space to explore mental health concerns, address trauma, and develop coping strategies. My goal is to help you achieve emotional stability, self-awareness, and resilience, guiding you toward growth, fulfillment, and a deeper understanding of yourself.

Life can be difficult. Work, relationships, school, and the various other demands can cause someone to feel overwhelmed, frustrated, or depressed. Add to these common demands the influences of ADHD, substance abuse, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other forms of mental illness and navigating through life can feel impossible. I provide a comfortable, client-centered environment for exploration and processing in order to make life more manageable.
