The definition of wellness cannot be written without centering the inextricable ties between body, mind, and community. Within this unique system, there occurs a dance of influence that only serves to highlight how deeply linked and capable of impact each is on the other. It is with this awareness and a knowledge of the irreplaceable role of relationship in healing that I seek to ally with my clients. Some of my areas of focus are attachment, trauma, family systems, adoption/foster care, anxiety, depression, identity development, parenting (yourself and your children), self awareness and self esteem building.

Hello, I’m an EMDR therapist providing support for trauma, PTSD, and anxiety for adults in Sarasota, FL and online. If you’ve been carrying the weight of past trauma, you may feel constantly on edge, emotionally overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself and others, or stuck in survival mode-long after the danger has passed. Many people I work with struggle with intrusive memories or thoughts, anxiety, poor sleep, or trauma triggers, and may avoid their inner world because thoughts, emotions, or memories feel too overwhelming. If you feel stuck, I will walk alongside you on this journey towards healing!

I often work with individuals who appear to have life together on the outside, but internally feel something is still unresolved. Many of my clients find that childhood experiences continue to shape how they view themselves, their relationships, and their confidence. You might notice old memories, guilt, or self-doubt showing up in parenting, work, or during major life transitions. Even after trying to move forward, the past can still find its way into the present. Together, we’ll work toward creating meaningful change so you can feel more grounded, confident, and aligned—for yourself and the people you care about.

There are moments when life feels louder on the inside than it looks on the outside. You might appear to be managing things well, but underneath, anxiety, loss, or past pain continue to pull at you. You have tried to move forward, yet old patterns and emotions seem to resurface. Therapy offers space to pause, make sense of what is happening beneath the surface, and begin restoring a sense of calm, clarity, and connection. My goal is to help you feel safe enough to explore honestly and supported enough to grow.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
