Psychologist, PhD
Punta Gorda, FL 33950
Therapy is all about the healing and growth translated through the relationships between the patient and the therapist. When I founded Peace River Psychology Center in 2000, I devised that the center's motto should be "a health spa for the mind" and I like to take a holistic approach to mental health. I am a licensed clinical psychologist treating children, adolescents and adults. My specialty is in internalizing disorders, specifically depression and anxiety.

As a native Floridian, I’m passionate about supporting individuals in my community through life’s challenges. I recognize the value of having a trusted space to talk openly—outside of one’s immediate circle. My approach is flexible and tailored to each client, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and traditional talk therapy. I’m especially focused on helping clients understand the “why” behind their thoughts and emotions, and on equipping them with practical coping strategies to foster growth and resilience.

The great poet Rumi wrote "out beyond ideas of wrong-doing and right-doing, there is a field. I'll meet you there." This quote really encompasses a therapeutic setting for me. A place where there is no judgement and you are heard with warmth and high regard. In my sessions you can be expect to be treated with kindness, empathy and be received with no judgement. This is my private practice, which means, you will not have a therapist turnover in a few months. I’m very personable and real. I will care about you.

I help women reconnect to themselves. If you’re feeling like you've lost yourself and don't know who you are anymore or are feeling anxious and exhausted from self-doubt — you’re not alone. As women, we’re often taught to shrink ourselves, silence our needs, and keep pushing no matter what. In therapy, we’ll slow down and make space for you. I love working with women who are ready to break free from the stories that no longer serve them. Whether you’re healing from trauma, navigating a life transition, or feeling disconnected from your purpose, I offer an empathetic, grounded space to reconnect with your true, authentic self.

Too often, we equate caring for our mental and emotional health with weakness and failure - especially when we're taught that our "strength" is based on our ability to handle the stresses of everyday life without "cracking". I've dedicated my career to overcoming this myth by helping young adults and adults develop wellness plans that promote emotional and mental balance, internal peace, and positive coping and communication skills.

Do you want long lasting and effective change? Did you know that hyper and/or hypo arousal of your autonomic nervous system due to developmental and other trauma can leave you feeling stuck? This is simply because words and willpower are not enough to make change. As a Christian psychotherapist, I have always believed that true healing happens when psychology, neuroscience, and faith work together. Over the years, I’ve had the honor of walking with clients through seasons of loss, anxiety, trauma, and relationship struggles - helping them rediscover the steady, loving presence of God within and around them.

Some experiences in life are beyond our ability to deal with. The approaches I excel in are rooted in intention and reflection gained from my years as a contemplative monk. When we meet, I will help you encounter yourself in a new way and accompany you as you explore different aspects of yourself. Together we will create an action plan to identify the necessary steps forward and work toward them. Whether we talk through your concerns, utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), explore hypnosis and subconscious resolution work, or engage in HeartMath and contemplative practices, a new beginning is approaching!
