In counseling, I believe in meeting my clients where they are and helping them achieve the goals they set for themselves. I want my clients to realize the decisions they make have consequences, good and bad, and like to assist them to remain accountable for their decisions. It is important for me to look at the client as a whole, to help determine the course of treatment that will suit them best. I look forward to helping you reach your goals.

Hi there! Let me start by telling you a little bit about my background. I have been a licensed practicing clinician since 2010. I am trained and experienced in a specialized form of therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), but I also practice Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. I enjoy working with adolescents, college students, and adults with a wide range of challenges, such as Borderline Personality Disorder, depression (including postpartum), bipolar disorder, anxiety, eating disorders, substance abuse, self-harm, identity issues, and relationship issues. I also have experience working with patients in acute psychiatric crisis.

My clients enjoy a relaxed environment with a professional, kind listener who is skilled in empowering them during challenging times. I use a didactic and compassionate approach. My specific therapy tools change depending on the needs of the individual. Many of my clients have survived difficult relationship issues. Compulsive behaviors such as excessive shopping, eating, dieting and sexual acting out are also treated in a shame-free environment. I see several clients seeking help with divorce and grief. I have also completed post graduate school training in Family mediation, Parent Coordination and Couples Counseling.

I have been in Private Practice for over 20 years. My practice serves children, teens, adults and families in a comfortable setting. Most clients I see have the diagnosis of depression or anxiety. My way of treating this is to provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I believe if we can change the way we think about events in our life that we can find peace and balance. I have worked my entire career to find the most effective style of therapy, and received top training from Dr. Jeff Riggenbach, CBT Therapist and Dr. Patrick Cohn, top Sports Psychologist.

Art Therapy Workshops and Self-care classes are available for students and professionals to help de-stress and gain insight into one's abilities. Art Therapy is a mental health profession. Check to make sure you have selected a professional art therapist with the ATR or ATR-BC credentials. I have provided in home and community-based art therapy in the Tampa Bay area for over 17 years. As an Art Therapist, I provide art directives and art-making activities to increase insight into emotional conflicts.

I enjoy working with individuals and their families through a strength-based perspective to not only address weaknesses, but foster strengths. I believe there is no "one size fits all" model, and by collaboratively working together, goals can be identified, evidenced-based practices can begin, and progress can be monitored. I work with clients to address an array of concerns, including anxiety, depression, family conflict, school difficulties, behavioral difficulties, social skills, organization and executive functioning difficulties, and other adjustment concerns. I also complete comprehensive assessments to address learning, attention and a mix of social, emotional and behavioral challenges.

Do you seem like you have it all together on the outside, but sometimes notice that your needs and feelings are hard to access or communicate? Do you feel worried, disconnected, or alone? I provide a kind, genuine, and collaborative space. Together we can identify your feelings, goals, and relational patterns. I would like our work together to foster growth through exploration.

I specialize in treating children, adolescents and young adults with obsessive-compulsive and related disorders, anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, and behavioral problems.

Knowledge, experience and verified client success are my attributes as a clinician. The idea is motivating and inspiring change. I have multicultural competence as I love tackling challenges with my clients. I believe in empowering you as my potential client; At my office, you can expect a warm, comfortable atmosphere. Every person's problem is unique, as is yours. I can provide you with insight to motivate and inspire a change in your life. At my office, you can expect a high level of professionalism and respect, tempered with light humor and leave you with a sense of accomplishment.

Have you noticed inconsistent feelings of happiness, sadness, depression, anxiety, or just a lack of satisfaction in general? Maybe you are trying to sort emotions related your past life experiences and the impact past experiences continue to have on your daily life. Maybe you're struggling with understanding negative behaviors of your children, challenges within your relationship or family, or maybe you just need help sorting what you are experiencing. All of these things make managing stress and anxiety overwhelming. If you've ever felt like giving up or wondering will things ever change, you're not alone.

Healing happens when we feel safe enough to show up exactly as we are. All parts of you are welcome here. I’m not here to change you or fix you. I don’t think you are “broken” or that there's anything "wrong" with you. Together we'll create an accepting + compassionate environment, with respect for your intuition + body's wisdom underlying all that we do. I’m trauma + social justice-informed and view therapy through an intersectional lens (mind, body, environment, culture). During our time together, we’ll likely look at environmental factors (interpersonal, economic, oppression) that create individual/collective stress and trauma.

*I will be accepting new clients in July 2021.* I understand it takes a tremendous amount of courage to reach out for support. I work with teens, young professionals, college students and adults who are seeking relief from difficulties such as anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or the impacts of trauma. My professional interests also include identity development, relationship concerns, grief and loss, and coping with adjustments and transitions. In therapy, I help you develop self-compassion and personal insight so you can let go of shame and fear, and start building a life worth living.

If you’re reading this, it’s probably because you are looking for change or you want something more. Maybe you feel like you’re stuck in an unfulfilling pattern, one that leaves you feeling disappointed in yourself or angry at those around you. Or perhaps you think you are doing well on paper—good job, stable home life, supportive friends—but can’t seem to derive the sense of accomplishment that “should” accompany “success.” Either way, you are here because you think you might be ready to get more out of life and are prepared to examine things closely, maybe even ask yourself some tough questions.

Life is full of changes and sometimes we need additional emotional support in times of transition. Personal issues can make it very difficult for us to seek help and contemplating seeing a therapist is a difficult decision for many people dealing with the circumstances life creates. Sometimes once we have made the decision to seek help we have a hard time creating the time for therapy and self-care. Teletherapy video sessions are now offered to support those interested in investing in self-care from the comfort of their own environment including new parents experiencing anxiety, depression, fatigue, etc.
