Feeling overwhelmed? Is the anxiety or depression you feel getting the best of you? You find yourself worrying so much, stuck in the past or the future. You struggle to focus on your work and duties, can’t get enough sleep, feel on edge, and waste all that time doom scrolling and not knowing how to get out of the “stuck.” You may find you are compensating with food or drink or other distractions. You find yourself just sitting there with that sense of dread wondering “when will this get better?” You might find yourself arguing or disconnected with your partner, feeling like things are unraveling around you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida with specialized training in various therapeutic modalities. For the past 20 years, I have had the pleasure of working with children, adolescents, and adults who were struggling in one or more areas of their lives. I also have a passion for working with couples and have completed several trainings from the renowned Gottman Institute relating to working with couples. I am exceptionally open minded to treat individuals and couples of all backgrounds and orientations. I am credentialed with most insurance panels.

Do you scroll through your social media and wonder why you aren’t living your “best life”? You might say, “why does it feel like everyone else has their sh*t together and here I am, struggling to 'adult' on a good day?" Do you feel like you’ve lost your chance to live the life you always thought you'd have? Maybe you’ve achieved success, but are drowning in keeping up with your own unrelenting standards. You're exhausted from performing and disappointed that you always have to miss out. You know there is more to life than your job, but you can't seem to find that work/life balance. Life has become about keeping up versus living.

Are you in recovery but feeling stuck? Are you tired of running from your past? Are you unable to experience vulnerability in a relationship without feeling panic or acting out in destructive ways?

You didn't begin your journey in recovery to end up feeling stuck. I understand. I am a psychotherapist who is also in recovery. I experienced the same and I am able to help you.

Frustrated of being told to "relax", "calm down", "you are too sensitive", "grow up" & "get over it already, or "you worry to much"? People tell you this as if you do not want to relax, stop overthinking, overreact and worry! If you could, you would! Being told this from friends and loved ones does not help. In fact, it can cause you to feel much worse! You probably have tried to stop on your own, but your mind continues to fill up with thoughts that cause you to become stressed and you struggle to turn your brain off! You are not alone!

There is a quote by J.R.R. Tolkien, "not all those who wander are lost". I think this is a solid descriptor of my life's journey. To the outside observer, I've looked similar to a vagabond as I've "wasted my potential" walking barefoot through Orlando serving the homeless, living in Brazil while working with at-risk children abandoned to the streets, and even more recently as I've dove into therapy with men and women struggling with sexual addiction and the fallout of effects upon their loved ones. I've wrestled with my own struggles and mental health diagnosis of OCD and now have the privilege of serving others.
