Hello, I'm a licensed Mental Health Counselor practicing in Central Florida with over ten years working in Mental Health and four years providing counseling. Carl Rogers once said, "It is the client who knows what hurts, what direction to go, what problems are crucial, what experiences have been deeply buried". I couldn't agree more and if you've come to this site, chances are you know what direction to go and are seeking help. If you're experiencing recent changes, trying to manage depression, anxiety, or find ways to cope with stress, finding someone to talk to, free of judgment, who is also supportive can make all the difference.

In person or virtual sessions. Specializing in eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. I am also a Registered Dietitian (RD). It's my passion to help people gain control over and heal from disordered eating, anxiety, and depression so they can live their best life. We live in a society that dictates what size we should be, which drives us toward unhealthy habits in an effort to measure up. This can lead to disordered eating habits such as yo-yo dieting, binge eating, poor body image, and self-criticism, among others. I believe in focusing on the underlying causes of how food is being used to manage stress, emotions, and life.

Are you finding it hard to cope with stress? Uncomfortable with uncertainty? Is your worry interfering with your ability to concentrate, leading to avoidance & procrastination? Maybe you've spent hours scrolling through Psychology Today profiles but froze when it was time to choose one. A part of you would do anything to avoid calling to book this appointment. I get it. But, your untreated anxiety or depression interferes with too many areas of your life—making it harder at work and in relationships. You're isolating because it all feels exhausting and overwhelming. Change is usually challenging for you, but this time, you're ready.

Since I have been doing counseling/therapy for 40+ years, I am very familiar with many approaches and theories. My first step in working with a person or couples is to help them express the goal(s) they wish to achieve in seeking counseling and then work with them to either discover the skills within themselves or help them develop these skills to reach these goals and live fulfilled lives.

There may be times in your life when you feel as if you are surviving life instead of enjoying it. Now may be one of those moments. Survival is an instinct that drives many human behaviors and is completely acceptable. Moving beyond survival requires support. Life can be challenging at times and seeking help with those challenges can be intimidating. If you are seeking emotional wellness, self-acceptance, personal growth, or help in finding answers, I invite you to call for consultation and determine whether I am the right therapist for you.

I get it. It’s midnight and you’re here—searching for help, trying to make sense of the pain and silence you’ve carried for far too long. Whether you're a woman in uniform, a mother navigating life post-incarceration, or both—your story is real. As a woman who served in both the military and federal law enforcement, I understand what it means to survive in systems built to break you. I also know the pain of having no one to turn to who truly understands. You’ve carried the guilt, the grief, the trauma—and still, you rise. But you shouldn’t have to rise alone.
