Therapists in Saint Augustine, FL

Connection is hard. It requires a level of vulnerability that opens us up to the very pain we’ve been trying to avoid. The thing about connection though, is that it is vital to every person’s emotional, sexual, and mental well-being. We can’t understand ourselves or feel close to others without it. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified Sex Therapist, I offer a safe, honest, and affirming environment where you can feel comfortable exploring whatever holds you back from connecting with yourself and others. With you in the driver's seat, I can help you move towards a more fulfilling and integrated life.

Truth be told, counseling is beneficial to EVERYONE. Relationships. Children. Single Parents. Teenagers. Young Adults. EVERYONE. My greatest reward as a therapist is helping clients make positive changes and gain personal success in their lives. I offer a warm, relaxed environment that allows you to discuss a range of thoughts and feelings as well as to explore possible options or solutions for your life.

Are you looking for a unique way to reduce stress and anxiety? Are you ready to rediscover your strengths and learn new ways of coping? Or are you looking for someone to help guide & support you through some of life's transitions that might be causing distance in your relationships? Allow me to introduce you to a different way of being in the natural world to grow and heal.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who, for over 13 years, has enjoyed partnering with clients to create meaningful, positive change in their lives. As a wife and mother, I understand the complex challenges that family life brings. And as someone who’s walked through premature birth and had a child in the NICU, I am uniquely equipped for and passionate about this population. I also particularly love to work with clients on changing their relationships with themselves, food, and body image, and developing self-compassion. I find this work deeply meaningful and rewarding.

I have been blessed to work with children, adolescents and families for the past 20 years, in both clinical and faith-based settings. As a wife and mother of three wonderful children I understand the challenges that face both children and parents in this fast-paced world. By utilizing a multidimensional approach, the mind, body and spirit can be transformed to facilitate healing on all levels. I earned my Masters Degree in Clinical Social work from Florida State University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.

I would like to help you or your family member address issues that may be causing emotional and mental distress. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable and confidential setting where you can restore a sense of balance and create a more fulfilling life.

Navigating parenthood can be hard & sometimes we need extra support. If you are feeling overwhelmed or watching your child struggle with things such as anxiety, fear, anger, big emotions, tantrums, big transitions, & difficult behaviors, you’ve come to the right place. I work with children of all ages & their grown-ups, utilizing a collaborative play-based approach to healing. I am passionate about family work & utilizing the therapeutic powers of play to help children naturally work through their problems. Play is the “language” in which children communicate in a non-threatening way. Just as adults "talk" it out, children play.

Life is hard. We all, everyone of us, need help along the way. Perhaps you need help understanding and managing your emotions; overcoming anxiety or depression; building and maintaining healthy boundaries and relationships; healing from past hurts or traumas; dealing with feelings of inadequacy, shame or rejection; forgiving yourself and others. Perhaps you are a parent in need of help understanding and supporting a struggling child; communicating with your teenager or young adult; learning and using skills and tools to navigate these relationships.

I feel it is a privilege to work with individuals and families on their journey to wellness. Clients have shared with me that I'm relaxed, warm, and easy to talk to. Therapy is an important decision and most effective when we work together to create change in your life. I find that for most of us, life can present very difficult issues. In a safe and trusting environment, I believe we can explore our pain and challenges and recognize our resilience.

I work with adults and adolescents, assisting them in developing coping skills for issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, grief, body image and relationship issues.
