Alcohol Use Therapists in Jacksonville, FL
I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I enjoy processing with individuals and listening to personal journeys to find a resolution. I was a High School performance art major and find this skill set benefical in providing supports through visual cues using various therapeutic approaches and modalities. I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare. I enjoy working with young children and teens as these are challenging developmental years, trauma and distress from systemic and familial patterns of behaviors, coupled with low parenting, coping, decision-making and problem-solving skills.

I work with adults (18+) who are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, and relationship issues. If you find yourself feeling on edge, emotionally numb, trapped in cycles that no longer serve you, or carrying the weight of past experiences, therapy can be a place to pause and begin healing. At the core of my work is the belief that healing begins with connection. I focus on building a trusting therapeutic relationship through empathy, authenticity, and a collaborative, goal-oriented approach, supporting you as you gain insight, learn effective coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or not quite like yourself lately?
Maybe you’re navigating a major life transition — a new relationship, a breakup, motherhood, career changes, identity shifts, or just the quiet realization that something needs to change. You might look “fine” on the outside but feel anxious, irritable, disconnected, or exhausted underneath it all.
I work with women and couples who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and build a life that feels more aligned, confident, and steady.
In our work together, you can expect a space that is warm, grounded, and practical.

Do you ever feel like different parts of you are at odds? Maybe one part of you wants to move forward and another part keeps pulling you back. The inner conflict may cause you to feel like you're being too much, but you're not. You're just made up of many incredible parts. We all are! Trained in Internal Family Systems (IFS), I help clients connect to their "parts" such as the inner critics, overachievers, people-pleasers, and even that part that just wants to stay in bed and scroll.

We're all trying to get through life....and we weren't meant to navigate it alone. Sometimes we just need an ear, a shoulder, or someone to hold up the proverbial roadmap and walk alongside us to keep it moving forward. Life carries us through many seasons, often resulting in confusion, chaos, anxiety, depression, illness, grief, and traumatic events. Sometimes they happen as children and young adults, resulting in the stuff we carry into adulthood, having an enormous impact on the quality of our lives....our relationship with self and with others. The good news is...there's help! You don't have to suffer alone and in silence.

Sometimes, we find ourselves in life struggling with what we should do next and how to accomplish this. Often times, we can find ourselves in a dark place in which there seems to be no light at the end, possibly no hope of ever seeing light again. Some struggle with addiction, loss, and depression and are afraid to seek out help to manage the disease of addiction as well as loss. Often, we are afraid to reach out for help because we do not want to be embarrassed or judged by others. In the end, you want to be able to see the light and live a life free of the difficulty that you may have.

My ideal client can come as they are. I believe in creating an environment that is warm, welcoming, and compassionate. It is understandable if clients are guarded or apprehensive about meeting with a therapist. It is important to go at their pace, whatever that may look like . Many clients come to therapy seeking comfort, validation, and a listening ear. Goals and treatment planning are tailored to the personal needs of the individual. I find that clients seek to find a safe place and when they're ready, can begin to bring about personal change within themselves and their lives.

I see all my clients as products of their life experiences, the families they come from and the world they live in. Everyone has a story of change yet to be written
