Let’s be honest; life can be tough. Maybe you’ve found that it’s hard to get up in the morning, and you aren’t enjoying the things you used to. Somedays, it might feel impossible to take a shower, eat or say something nice to yourself. Life feels full of worry and hopeless. You feel disconnected and exhausted, and all you want is to be happy again. These symptoms and feelings are common, and it takes a lot of courage to acknowledge you need extra support. I applaud you for taking the first big step! I specialize in supporting adolescents, college students and adults with symptoms of depression, anxiety, low self-esteem and trauma.

You are struggling in your romantic relationship. You want to grow together, but are feeling stuck, hurt and disconnected. You don't know how to solve problems that arise and communicate in a productive way. I specialize in couples counseling and can help you both restore the love and happiness you deserve in your relationship. Counseling also provides a place for you to sort through the complexities of life and learn skills to successfully navigate these challenges. You may be going through a difficult transition of a relationship, career, or move, and questioning your next step. Therapy provides the support and tools to help.

Life can be taxing your heart and mind. Maybe you’ve been struggling with overthinking or feeling good with who and where you are. You’re trying to enjoy the activities you used to, but everything seems to have lost its spark. Some days, even your relationships may feel hard to be a part of. Therapy can be your opportunity to re-establish a sense of control to better cultivate the empowered and healthy life we all crave. I can assist you in gaining more intentional communication skills, increasing your confidence, becoming more assertive in having your needs met, and decreasing negative self talk that is keeping you down.

You may have felt lost from your sense of self and purpose, and gone through painful transitions like loss or trauma. I am passionate about supporting adults, older adults, couples and families of all backgrounds who feel lost and hurting to find their inner strength and purpose.

I'm so happy you find yourself here in this moment. Reaching out for help is hard.

I've worked in a variety of settings from community behavioral health, domestic violence services, healthcare, and with veterans.

Life can be really hard at times. Sometimes, we don't always know what's next. Maybe we can't figure out how to manage a situation or how to cope with overwhelming emotions. Sometimes we find ourselves in repetitive patterns we just can't understand. Maybe these patterns manifest in unfulfilling or painful relationships, inability to make meaningful connections, procrastination, or unhealthy coping patterns that cause issues. Here at Gainesville Healing House we work with you to help you find your way to a more fulfilling life. We work with a variety of approaches including DBT Informed Therapy, EMDR, and Bioenergetic Analysis.
