Marriage Counseling Therapists in Tallahassee, FL
In addition, I work with couples to move past patterns that get in the way of communication, connection, and intimacy.
What if your inner critic doesn't hold the truth about you?
It’s hard to feel connected or fulfilled when you’re beating yourself up inside. When you begin relating to yourself with curiosity and compassion instead of criticism, something shifts. Energy frees up. Joy and self-trust start showing up in real, meaningful ways.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over twenty years of experience. I use mindfulness-based practices and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help people understand themselves more deeply and work with difficult emotions and past experiences in a gentle, non-judgmental process.

I incorporate a lot of psychoeducation, including homework challenges to help my clients remain focused on their treatment goals.

You are not alone in your struggles, and you deserve to regain the peace of mind and joy that seem to elude you right now. "Let's find a way forward together - with compassion, clarity, and lasting change."

Do you look like you have it all together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, stuck, or constantly in your own head?
You might overthink everything, such as replaying conversations, second-guessing decisions, or imagining worst-case scenarios. You may feel burned out meeting expectations, unsure of your next step, or quietly struggling with low mood, low motivation, or self-doubt.
If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep carrying it by yourself.
