The journey to effective change begins where you are; and realizing this is only one chapter of your life; you have the choice how your future chapters are written. I truly believe real change is achieved when you recognize and accept your current situation, "It Is What It Is" (often a mixture of comfort/discontent). Our journey begins by identifying and utilizing your strengths as building blocks for change. My goal is to help you embrace and work through your struggle, be it mood/emotion, anxiety, relationship issues, grief/loss, or simply identifying and cultivating a deeper happiness in life.

I work with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, whether from a single event or a series of distressing experiences. Trauma often disrupts daily life in various ways. Sometimes the impact is more noticeable, such as avoiding places associated with the trauma, while at other times it is more subtle, like persistent feelings of unease, difficulty focusing, or challenges in relationships. Many people affected by trauma hope to forget these painful experiences and move forward, seeking healing and resolution.

Imagine how much better your life would be if anger, fear, and despair were not troubling you. Imagine working with a professional who wants you to feel safe, unjudged, and validated. I've practiced as a licensed therapist for over thirty years. I know what works and what doesn't. If you are new to counseling, we will explore how to help you improve in the least amount of time. If you are familiar with counseling, we will tailor therapy to what works best for you.

Life is full of circumstances that often take us by surprise; leaving us feeling out of control and struggling to move forward with our own plans and goals. While we may not have chosen our current circumstances, the way we choose to think and feel about these circumstances is within our control.

Maybe you feel down, annoyed, or anxious. Perhaps you avoid, give in, or act out. Maybe it’s hard to connect to others or to yourself. Those experiences are deeply rooted in how the big people around you acted when you were small. The patterns can be powerfully updated through therapy. In therapy, you can be known, accompanied, and valued. The relationship is protected and safe. It makes room for you and challenges you to connect to and make room for another. Therapy alleviates aloneness, lessens emotional pain, and connects you to your authentic self- that is, what the hell you really think, feel, and care about.

I am a Jacksonville native and have been counseling for 20 years. Counseling is a calling and I consider it a privilege to work with individuals, families, and young adults towards the goal of enhancing their lives. Both my practice and lifestyle are a reflection of my belief in the value of fun, health, and balance. My practice is located in a beautiful two-story historic home in the Riverside/Five Points area. My 'office' is one of several independent practices in the home, and is a comfortable, warm, and private space for us to do good work.
