Feminist Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

Hi there, I am a licensed provider in the states of Florida, Tennessee, and Missouri. I have worked in the social services field for 25 years and have provided therapy services to a variety of clients with a varying degree complex diagnoses and symptomology. I have over 15 years of experience with at-risk youth, LGBTQ population, and trauma work. I look forward to meeting you and working towards meeting your treatment needs and goals. I have worked with a diverse population of specialties. I have experience with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in therapy.

Are you seeking a more fulfilling life with specific goals such as managing anxiety attacks, improving communication with others, or overcoming past trauma? My goal is for my clients to find peace and joy, and a sense of control over their emotional well-being. Therefore, I provide my clients with a safe and non-judgmental space for validation, support, and the tools to navigate the complexities of life with greater clarity and purpose.

I am a Licensed Psychologist with extensive experience working with adults, adolescents, and teens. I am currently accepting new patients for Telehealth (Video/Online) therapy only. I provide services for individuals with a variety of concerns, including trauma and PTSD, depression, anxiety, adjustment/phase of life issues, grief, work-related stress, and relationship issues. I believe in providing a warm, approachable, and safe environment for therapy, and I value the importance of building a positive therapeutic relationship.

I have a great deal of experience with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and addiction. I enjoy working with clients who are motivated to change, learn, and develop new skills. Honesty helps the process tremendously! I enjoy working with them because I have so many tips and techniques that I have seen work, and that gives me a great deal of motivation and drive to help them!

Are you looking for relief from symptoms of PTSD, seeking emotional validation, or even yearning to feel "just a little bit better"? Are you ready to explore your emotions, practice new strategies for healing, find forgiveness for yourself, and learn to set and work towards achieving your own treatment goals? My specialty is treating anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship conflicts, and more. Anyone who is ready to feel empowered and take back control of their life is my ideal client.

I am currently accepting new clients and offer in-person and virtual sessions. First three sessions are $125 per 45-50 minute session. I am a Florida licensed clinical psychologist with more than 30 years experience in counseling and psychotherapy with individuals experiencing anxiety and mood disorders, personality disorders, severe and persistent mental illness, developmental disabilities, and autism spectrum disorders.

Sometimes sh*t happens. And It can be an overwhelming decision to ask for help, especially when contacting a stranger. What happens when the story I have for my life doesn’t go as planned? My dream job isn’t bringing the fulfillment I thought it would. I envisioned myself fully showing up in this world, but now my trauma leaves me powerless beneath my anxiety and depression. I identified with a religion that once gave me freedom, but now it leaves me in bondage. My family was once a safe haven, but now dad is drinking too much and everything I knew is gone.

Life is hard and hard is normal, but sometimes it becomes too heavy, and you need support and a fresh perspective to feel confident, secure and hopeful. I am always deeply honored when someone trusts me to create space and walk alongside them in their journey to understand themselves and the world around them in a way that feels authentic and life giving. I believe that you are the expert concerning your life, and my job is to collaborate with you to help you achieve your goals and make some sense of the world and your place in it.

The purpose of therapy is to take what you have learned and apply it outside. It is not always easy to make changes, and change can be scary, but once you put your words into action, the change can be beautiful. I have worked with people who struggle with substance use issues, depression, anxiety, and families. I have a passion for working with people in the BiPOC community. I want my clients to believe in themselves and what they can accomplish without needing external validation. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision-making to process your needs/issues without relying on others.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or a member of your family can be a difficult decision. The decision to engage in therapy takes true consideration for your wellness and emotional stability. My approach is from a place of compassion. I hope to create safe spaces for clients to engage in a trusting therapeutic relationship and focus on open communication while promoting self-growth and positive change. I believe that everything in life is full of purpose and that each experience we go through can be used as a catalyst to grow. I am passionate about individual growth and diversity.

Do you wake up in the morning feeling empty, tired, and unmotivated? Are you struggling with issues related to your past, uncontrollable thoughts, anger, grief, communication, anxiety, or major life changes? Are you seeking a more loving, meaningful, and harmonious relationship with your partner and your loved ones but don't know how or what to do to improve it? There comes a time when help is needed from a licensed professional.

Survivor of trauma. Struggling with addiction. Creative. Do at least two of these three describe you? If you're struggling to get sober, you're fearful about the impact sobriety might have on your creativity (and life in general). If you're in early sobriety, you're trying to gain your footing in a new landscape. If you're a trauma survivor, you're confused as to why your insight & sensitivity aren't helping you get to that light at the end of the tunnel. What do you do if your pain is too great to manage on your own?

Ever feel like being human isn’t always enough? Like you’re supposed to have superpowers that haven’t “kicked in” yet? Have you ever felt stuck? As human beings, we are met with obstacles. When those obstacles become overwhelming, we may feel stuck or confined to thoughts and feelings of failure, defeat, or hopelessness. I believe that our experiences allow us to create unique narratives that tell the stories of our lives. I work with clients to rewrite the stories they feel confined to. I respect the distinct narratives shared by each client and thrive to help them achieve the success they are in search of.

Finding the right therapist is difficult. At The Mindful Practice our client experience guides will match you with the perfect therapist. Whether you are struggling with emotional pain, relationship issues, or childhood trauma there is a therapist for you. Our purpose is to help you on this journey by helping you get scheduled with a therapist that connects with your story. Our therapists provide an open and non-judgemental environment that creates a space for you to gain the skills you need to live a fulfilling life that is not plagued with constant worry and self-doubt.

For more than 15 years I have been helping to change lives for the better. My philosophy is that the issues we face have origins in our past experiences. Therefore, there is hope for all of us to improve our lives. There are proven ways to reprogram our emotional states and our perspectives on life. I have gained skills for treating a wide variety of diagnoses and life situations affecting children and adults. I have a reputation for helping the most apprehensive people to trust the therapy process and find better outcomes.
