Sexual Abuse Therapists in Tallahassee, FL
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.

One of the most impactful concepts I’ve embraced is the importance of being curious rather than judgmental. This mindset not only shapes the way we relate to others but also transforms how we engage with ourselves—with greater grace, understanding, and vulnerability.
As a Christian, I hold the conviction that our spiritual beliefs profoundly influence every aspect of our lives. By combining a Christian worldview with evidence-based clinical practices, I strive to offer care that is both spiritually grounded and clinically effective

Does your heart beat too fast at unexpected times? Is there a whirlwind of emotion that you can't quite grasp? Does it feel like your struggling to survive? Many of us have been taught to "keep on" no matter what adversity we've experienced and often without the help we need. Are you attempting to navigate a world that doesn't make sense or align with your values? Are you caring for everyone else before you can get to your own needs? These experiences can cause anxiety, depression, irritability and even justified anger. I can help you process your experience(s), cope with your sadness, and find healing from trauma. Joy is possible.

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.

You're exhausted, not because of your present. It's a culmination of overextending, wearing the mask for all while hiding yourself until the end of the day. You’ve spent years being the strong one—caring for everyone else while feeling unseen or emotionally drained. You’re ready to find balance, peace, and purpose again. Together, we’ll explore patterns shaped by trauma, anxiety, or burnout and rebuild self-trust. At GAP Connections, I’ll help you heal through W.H.E.N—Wholeness, Humility, Enlightened Navigation—so you can set boundaries without guilt, reconnect with yourself, and move from merely surviving to truly living.
