Therapists in Gainesville, FL

I bring non-judgmental, compassionate care to the therapeutic relationship. I have many years experience working with people of all ages and diversity as an educator, counselor, mentor and psychotherapist. I will help you connect with your greatest strengths and provide skills and support to assist you in coping and with maintaining a sense of balance and wellbeing. Whether you are recovering from an addiction, recovering from trauma, challenged by a mental health disorder or adjusting to a life transition, I believe we can work together to create the positive change you are looking for and the relief you need.

Being stuck in your problems can feel overwhelming and it becomes difficult to overcome these problems and feelings associated with them on your own. As Albert Einstein once said, “No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.“ Allow me to help you navigate your personal and relational struggles through my collaborative therapeutic approach that is tailor made to your personal goals because everyone has a different perspective and past experiences.

I’m here to support and guide you while navigating what feels overwhelming and difficult right now. I work with ages 16+ struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or coping with life transitions such as divorce or loss of a loved one. I also have 9 years experience supporting transgender folx- providing a safe, affirming space. I also provide assessments for those seeking Gender Affirming Care (i.e. HRT or surgery) per WPATH standards of care.

Are you a high achieving woman who feels like she’s lost herself in all the other demands of life? You might feel unmotivated where you used to feel driven, or worried or stressed where you used to feel in control. It feels like someone is always needing something from you, and you’re realizing that your to-do list is coming at the expense of your own wellbeing. You’re ready to DO something about this—not just sit and talk, but learn some practical ways to actually start changing your life and how you feel about it. You’re ready to stop second-guessing yourself, feeling disconnected in your relationships, and missing out on life.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist in Florida. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

I appreciate how difficult the decision can be to engage in therapy and believe in the power of having a safe and nonjudgmental space to explore the challenges life often brings. My areas of clinical expertise include crisis and trauma work. As a therapist, I am committed to being genuine and authentic with my clients. I have had the opportunity to work with a diverse range of clinical issues including grief, relational problems, self-injury, suicide, depression, anxiety, suicide loss, trauma, abuse, and other issues that can create disconnection to oneself and others.

I believe the cornerstone of creating change is a strong therapeutic alliance..an affirmative working relationship between client and therapist. Our past is a part of our current functioning, in that behaviors and attitudes that once helped us survive can sometimes become outdated and problematic. Therapy is one way to help people "revise" their survival tools and live a more enriching and fulfilling life.

Accepting New Clients! Are you tired of constantly feeling overwhelmed and anxious? Your mind is racing with a million thoughts, and you never have a chance to just relax and be present. You feel like no matter what you do, you’re never good enough. You find it difficult balancing your workload, hobbies, and social life, while still making time for yourself. You’re constantly worried about what other people think of you, and you find yourself replaying social situations in your head.

As a relationally oriented psychoanalyst with a Ph.D. in English from Yale, I offer in-depth, compassionate therapy that seeks to promote growth and change through understanding the root causes of your current problems. I am especially interested in working with patients who are open to committing to a long-term process and may have already tried other approaches without finding what they are looking for. If this could be you, please call me for a free consultation to see whether we might be a good fit.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist, a licensed mental health counselor and founder of Change By Choice Inc., a 100% Telehealth practice.

I work from a relational and insight oriented approach. I believe that we were all created for connection and that our woundedness often gets in the way of this connectedness, whether it be to God or to others. Deep, intensive, soul counseling can help heal this woundedness so that connections are more honest, genuine, and whole. It should also leave you with a deeper sense of self and identity, so that you can interact in healthy ways with the world around you.

Welcome to my counseling practice. I know that choosing to begin or re-enter counseling can be a difficult or intimidating decision. My goal is to create a collaborative and safe therapeutic relationship where we can work towards your healing and wellness. I believe that distress - however it manifests - is a response to adversity. In working with people I find that the important questions to ask are "What have you been through?" Or, "What have you experienced?" Not, "What is wrong with you?"

I received my Bachelor's of Science in Business Management from Liberty University in 2004. After working in the business field for several years, I realized that I wanted to be able to work with people on a deeper level. In 2014 I received my Master's of Arts in Counseling at Reformed Theological Seminary in Oviedo, FL.
