I am a licensed therapist whose primary focus is helping individuals and families work through trauma, major life transitions and unfulfilling relationship dynamics. I especially have a passion for working with teens experiencing social anxiety, preparing for graduation, and navigating the growing pressures with social media. I also take interest in addressing issues specific to women such as postpartum depression, and counseling young adults healing from complex trauma, establishing healthy relationships, and planning for the next stages of life; whatever that may be.

The most common need I hear from clients is that they have done a lot of talk therapy in the past and they are stuck. I get it. That's the client I'm excited to work with. My ideal client is one who wants to do the work because I show up for my half of the therapeutic relationship. I bring my varied 24 years of experience to every session. My specialties are complex trauma and addiction, and this also encompasses obsessive overthinking, chronic low self-confidence, generalized anxiety, relationship issues, etc. Therapy is a team effort to make lasting changes outside of the therapy environment.

While our outer lives may seem well organized, our inner lives are often plagued with unexpressed conflict and confusion. Those who dare to cultivate self-awareness are often surprised by its healing effects - that the process itself unlocks energy and propels one forward. It is never too late. I look forward to witnessing your transformation and discovering how your unique set of issues and ways of working come to bear in the therapeutic alliance that will be uniquely ours.

I’ve heard it over and over; things are so overwhelming and everything is impossible. Fear and self doubt creeps in and is paralyzing. I know that there are times when it feels insurmountable. I can assure you it is not. I have seen over and over again courageous people make it out of the "pit". There are so many paths to getting out of this cycle. Choosing the one that is right for you takes expertise and experience. With 24 years of experience, I have the expertise that can guide you through the pitfalls to progress.

Relationships, careers, and retirement dreams cannot thrive when you are hurting. I work with adults, both individuals and couples, to treat grief, anxiety, depression and difficult life transitions (retirement, divorce, relocation, illness, end-of-life issues), as well as communication and sexual functioning. Some clients are anxious to free themselves from nagging issues of the past, while others struggle to discern the best path for their future. I support couples who want to increase intimacy, and I help couples who have already decided to separate to do so as respectfully as possible.

Transitions in life can be challenging for children, adolescents, and adults. My goal is to assist each client to achieve their highest potential.

Evaluations may assist clients to identify problems that may be interfering with their everyday lives and personal relationships. I utilize my knowledge and education along with many years of experience in counseling in diverse settings and with all age groups.

While being a strong human who can manage everything like a boss is certainly admirable, neglecting one's mental and emotional well-being can ultimately have its fair share of negative impacts. It's important to recognize that being strong doesn't mean being invincible, and everyone needs to take care of themselves in order to function at their best. Ignoring mental and emotional needs can lead to feelings of burnout, anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues. It can also lead to strained relationships with loved ones, as well as decreased productivity and overall quality of life.

My practice is limited, as I'm a full time Psychology Professor and Department Chair at a Florida State College. I have over two decades of experience providing psychotherapy and relationship counseling. My clients tell me the hardest thing about reaching out for help is not knowing where to start or who to call. I know I'm a stranger to you, but my hope is you feel comfortable enough to take a risk with me. Please do not hesitate to call me with any questions you may have.
