Clinical Supervision and Licensed Supervisors Therapists in Niceville, FL
My own background is in military service, and it shapes how I work. I understand what it’s like to function at a high level while carrying more than anyone around you realizes.
I’ve moved away from a traditional weekly caseload. My practice is now built entirely around EMDR+IFS and Brainspotting intensives—longer, uninterrupted sessions that let us go deep on trauma without the stop-start rhythm of a 50-minute hour. This format tends to work especially well for people who’ve already done years of talk therapy and are ready for something that actually shifts things.
I offer intensives for individuals, groups and couples

I am a trauma specialist who has an extensive background working with individuals, couples, and families within the military, veteran, widow, and bereavement populations. I work to help each client become an optimally functioning and progressively maturing individual through identifying the specific presenting problem affecting their lives, helping them evaluate how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors may be impacting the way they relate to themselves and others, and exploring how they can become the best version of themselves physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.

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.

I am licensed mental health counselor with over 15 years of experience and am a Qualified Supervisor for registered interns pursuing licensure in mental health counseling or marriage and family therapy.
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.
