Therapists in Lakeland, FL

Accepting New Clients! Are you in a place in your life where you are not sure where you are going, what you are doing or even who you are sometimes? I have been there before and I am available as a support to guide you through healing and/or self-discovery. Experiencing symptoms of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or psychosis can leave us feeling isolated, confused, or burned out. The good news is you do not have to battle these experiences alone. I will be honored to walk alongside you and provide you with practical and clinical skills that will improve your quality of life. Let's get to work, you can do this!

I enjoy working with a wide variety of clients ranging from early adults taking on the new challenges in life to empty nesters who may be facing the idea of relearning everything they thought they knew. I enjoy helping individuals address and overcome challenges life has dealt them, and appreciate that this looks different for everyone. Life is ever-changing and so are our mental health needs. I look forward to working with you, wherever you find yourself on your journey in life.

I am passionate about helping Millennials and Gen Z overcome hopelessness, exhaustion and self-doubt. My clients feel like they’re forcing a smile but deep down they feel depressed and defeated. It’s confusing and scary! There’s a reason for your sadness, and I want to discover where it’s coming from with you. I’ll help you shed a light on your depression so you don’t have to feel like a fraud or a crazy person. I get it, we can figure this out together. Here’s a bit more about what it’s like working with me in therapy:

Accepting new clients! Adulting is hard. Between work demands, paying bills, relationships, remembering your To Do list, the day to day can often leave you feeling stressed and overwhelmed. Your anxiety has anxiety. Maybe you feel depressed and alone. You find yourself asking “Why does this feel so hard?” “Am I good enough?” “Did I put the clothes in the dryer?” You "know" what you are "supposed to do," but starting is hard. Life can feel really hard sometimes. If you are feeling depressed, overwhelmed, anxiety, struggling with productivity, self talk, or ADHD symptoms, you’ve come to the right place.

I work with clients that are motivated for change. I work with adults, teens, and kids. Relationships can be very stressful and overwhelming as today we do not have a village to help us and many people lack supports. My goal is to help you either as an individual or as a family move into a place of healing. Together we can explore unresolved trauma, communication patterns, conflict, emotions, all of it within the safety of a therapeutic relationship.

Are you feeling anxious trapped or controlled by the emotional ups and downs of someone you love? Do you want to stop repeating patterns of behavior learned in your family of origin? Do you want to improve communication with a family member(s) who are geographically distant? I am a licensed clinical social worker with advanced training in multigenerational family therapy and emotionally focused couples therapy.
