I grew up with curiosity and befuddlement in equal measures. Only in college did I begin to trust in my ability to think and pursue a path that led to graduate work and training as an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker). Those training experiences included service as a hospital chaplain and the personal oceans of grief and loss. As an intern at a Veterans Administration's behavioral health clinic, and how war and chronic mental illness crossed paths daily to challenge patients, already isolated, even in their own families.

Looking for help is difficult; especially, when it comes to something so personal to us, like our mental health. My first goal is to offer a safe, warm, and comfortable environment so that individuals, couples, and families can gain relief and truly thrive intrapersonally and with others. I specialize in trauma, addictions (both chemical and behavioral), anxiety disorders, and complex grief. Before joining private practice, I worked across multiple environments including inpatient hospitals, rehab facilities, and outpatient settings. I also spent a bulk of my training providing care to military and first responders.

I have been working with both adolescents and adults for more than a decade and still love my job. Being a licensed therapist is actually my third career choice that followed careers in Oceanography and Motorsports. Although the first two careers were exciting, having the opportunity to help people heal makes this career the most rewarding. I have a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry from the University of Florida (1985), a Master of Marine Science from University of South Florida (1996) and Master of Arts in Counseling from Liberty University (2007).
