It's okay to feel overwhelmed by the weight of it all. I'm here to help you navigate through the complexities of your own emotions and the emotions of others.

As both a therapist and professor at the University of North Florida, I specialize in young children and parenting. I help families facilitate a healthy, loving relationship with each other while helping children learn how to feel, process, and communicate feelings. This leads to more connection and understanding of themselves and others. As a parenting and play therapist specialist, I work with children of divorce, anger, tantrums, trauma, sibling rivalry, anxiety, depression, academic difficulties, and self esteem issues.

If you're looking for a quick fix- I get it, but I may not be the right therapist for you. I am for someone who wants to do deep transformational work that levels them up in a meaningful way. Perhaps: you're a high achiever, passionate & capable but your inner-critic & perfectionism are a big part of your inner-dialogue; you have a hard time finding balance in life; you're at a loss with how to manage relationships; people-pleasing prevents your ability to be honest; you're exhausted by inner-conflict; you realize your over-thinking gets you nowhere. You want the next steps to move things forward & aren't sure who to turn for help.

Opening up around the vulnerable and intimate details of our lives can be very uncomfortable. There is so much pressure to be “happy”, “better”, or “perfect”, while receiving messaging that being anything else is unacceptable. We are very adaptive yet often struggle to effectively get our needs met, so may engage in avoidance behaviors and withhold or internalize our feelings to try to prevent things from getting worse. You want to feel more like your true self and get more satisfaction out of your relationships. You need an unconditionally supportive, non-judgmental, creative, and humorous therapist who accepts you however you are.

Having had a prolific 25-year career in the entertainment industry, I can personally understand what contributes to depression, anxiety, and a compromised self-esteem. Through talk therapy, a perception shift and changing the narrative we tell ourselves, I believe we are all capable of having the life we deserve. We don't have to be defined by our past, our fears or that negative self talk. My approach to therapy is one of complete honesty, directness and a little sarcasm/humor when appropriate. I believe we are all capable of having the life we want, getting out of our own way, and getting closer to our goals.
