As a therapist who’s been to therapy, I want to keep it real with you—therapy is hard work. It’s made up of many moving parts: awkwardness with opening up to a stranger, vulnerability from expressing emotions in a new space (maybe even for the first time), anger that can surface from unresolved trauma, & emotional exhaustion that comes with processing. But it's so worth it. That hard work can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, more emotional clarity, or finding and claiming more peace.

I primarily work with couples and relationships, including LGBTQ+ and poly partnerships, individuals, and families. Whether your relationship feels stuck, is changing, or is just beginning, I help clients strengthen communication, deepen connections, and understand unhelpful relational patterns. If intimacy feels confusing, pressured, or disconnected, or if you’re exploring new desires, identities, or boundaries, I provide a supportive and affirming space for you.

My clients often come to therapy grappling with uncertainty, high stress, or loneliness in their lives. Sometimes they are feeling intense emotions, or behaving in ways that are confusing and frustrating for them. They may be feeling disconnected from other people, or feeling overly worried about how others perceive them. They are seeking more connection, peace and balance in their day-to-day.

Since 2013, I’ve worked with a range of mental health concerns in my private practice. In 2015 I learned of NeruoTherapy and utilized it as part of a wellness based inpatient program. And in 2017 I introduced it to my private practice. After seeing remarkable improvements with so many client concerns, (Depression, Anxiety, PTSD, TBI, Stroke Recovery, ADHD, Sleep Issues, Memory, Focus, Performance Enhancement, and more), Emerald Coast NeruoFeedback was founded in 2021, making it available outside of my counseling practice. At ECNF we combine cutting edge software with years of clinical experience from assessment to implementation.

I have been a practicing counselor since 1994 and enjoy working with clients from age 12-112, although I do have a particular fondness for adolescents, especially the oppositional ones. I have worked in inpatient and outpatient settings and have helped my clients navigate the "rough waters" that they must travel through.
