My clients often state when they first spoke to me they felt immediately at ease and did not feel judged. I am able to assist my clients in seeing patterns in their life story and work to identify and change core beliefs such as "I'm not good enough", "I'm defective" or "I cannot trust others."

I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I enjoy processing with individuals and listening to personal journeys to find a resolution. I was a High School performance art major and find this skill set benefical in providing supports through visual cues using various therapeutic approaches and modalities. I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare. I enjoy working with young children and teens as these are challenging developmental years, trauma and distress from systemic and familial patterns of behaviors, coupled with low parenting, coping, decision-making and problem-solving skills.

Are you exhausted in a way that rest doesn't fix? Do you feel like you've spent your whole life holding it together — showing up for everyone around you while quietly running on empty? Oak Haven Therapy is a telehealth practice for women across Florida who are ready to understand themselves more deeply and finally stop just surviving. Many of the women I work with learned early to be capable, self-sufficient, and strong. They built full lives. And they've been carrying a quiet ache for a long time — a sense that something important has gone unattended, that a part of them never quite got what she needed.

I will be your biggest cheerleader, your advocate, your support in times of stress. I will also challenge the old ways of thinking and doing things.

I focus in session on every angle of life and how it may be impacting your mental health. From daily healthy habits to our purpose in life, it shapes how we feel. My goal is to get you from surviving to thriving. With this in mind I find I work best with adolescents to young adults as they transition through a big change into independence but have helped many gain control in their lives from age 10-70.

My ideal client has spent time in therapy and gained insight into their history, patterns, or trauma, yet continues to feel stuck. They often understand what has shaped them, but that understanding has not fully brought the sense of relief, regulation, or ease they are seeking. Many are thoughtful and self-aware, functioning well in their lives while holding a great deal internally. They may have complex or longstanding trauma and are now looking for a depth-oriented, integrative approach that gently engages the mind, body, and nervous system, within a collaborative and carefully paced therapeutic relationship.

How does therapy for chronic illness work?
Many people living with a chronic illness may feel they cannot speak honestly about their experience out of embarrassment or fear of being a burden, or because those close to them do not understand, for example, that they may “look good” even if they do not feel good. Therapy sessions are an opportunity to speak openly with someone who knows their symptoms are not in their head and who can offer practical, proven suggestions for managing feelings of grief, shame, or fatigue, such as techniques to challenge unhelpful thoughts about symptoms and develop new ways to respond to them, such as distraction or calming breathing practices.
Can therapy help with physical symptoms of chronic illness?
Yes, especially if an individual with chronic illness has developed depression. People with depression are less likely to maintain their health treatment regimens or to take positive steps to manage physical symptoms when they arise, thereby potentially complicating their medical prognosis. Treatment of depression, through talk therapy, medication, or both, will often improve one’s physical state as it eases the emotional burden of illness.
What are the most effective treatment options for chronic illness?
No one living with a chronic illness, or their loved ones, should see depression as an unavoidable result of their condition. Instead, they should actively seek treatment. Research shows that people with depression are less likely to devote the required time and effort to maintaining or monitoring their health, and so therapy to limit the risk of depression can be vital for physical health as well. Therapeutic approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction have been found to help individuals reduce stress and anxiety.
How long does therapy for chronic illness take?
There is no set timeline for therapy for people living with chronic illnesses, but many will see a therapist for a number of weeks or months, typically spanning at least 12 weekly sessions. Some people feel that they experience progress faster than others but even some who quickly feel improvement may continue with sessions for months or years. Some people may benefit from maintenance therapy if their symptoms change or they experience a decline in physical health. Others find that the skills learned in short-term therapy can be used on an ongoing basis, even after therapy has concluded.
