Therapists for Adults in Niceville, FL
I specialize in treating trauma, grief, pet loss, and life stressors that teens, young adults, adults, and professionals need help processing.
As a therapist, my goal is to help others rediscover joy in life. I believe that even those facing trauma or distress can find hope, healing, and freedom. Many high-achieving individuals struggle with anxiety, depression, and stress, often feeling pressured to maintain a facade of "having it all together." Beneath the mask, they may feel lost, drained, and overwhelmed. If you or someone you know is finding it hard to cope due to life’s challenges, therapy can offer a safe space to heal, breathe deeply, and look forward to brighter days ahead.

Life’s transitions can leave us feeling unsteady, especially for women who have carried so much for others while trying to stay strong. You may find yourself wondering, “Who am I now?” or “Why can’t I move forward, even after surviving so much?”

As a therapist who’s been to therapy, I want to keep it real with you- therapy is hard work. It’s made up of many moving parts: awkwardness with opening up to a stranger, vulnerability from expressing emotions in a new space (maybe even for the first time), anger that can surface from unresolved trauma, & emotional exhaustion that comes with processing. But it's so worth it. That hard work can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself, healthier relationships, stronger boundaries, more emotional clarity, or finding and claiming more peace.

I have worked locally and internationally helping children, adolescent and adults navigate through difficult times to reach a variety of personal goals.
Welcome, I am passionate about your potential to see change. I have noticed often people accept a harmful pattern, negative emotion or unrealized potential as a permanent part of their lives. I believe change is not only possible, but attainable. If one puts in the effort you can gain insight, recognize patterns, and start on your journey towards change. Your goal may be feeling more balanced or it could be for your child to display improved focus or self esteem. Let us partner together to make pivotal transitions in your life.

I specialize in trauma-focused, brain-based therapy for adults struggling with perfectionism, anxiety, chronic self-doubt, and persistent overthinking.
If insight alone fixed this, you’d be better by now. You probably understand your patterns and can explain where they came from, yet something still feels stuck beneath the surface. You may be outwardly capable & high-functioning, while internally tense, overthinking, or disconnected. You’re used to figuring things out on your own, but this feels different. If you’re tired of trying harder to feel better & want something deeper to shift, this work may be a good fit. I use Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) in both individual sessions & focused therapy intensives for people ready to move through stuck patterns in a meaningful way.
