Therapists in Bon Air, Tampa, FL

Treating eating disorders is my passion. After recovering from my own eating disorder, I decided I would dedicate my life to helping others recover too. I am a skilled clinician who has been extensively trained in the treatment of eating disorders and co-occuring disorders. I am a board member of the Tampa Bay chapter of International Association of Eating Disorder Professionals and I co-facilitate support groups for the Alliance for Eating Disorder Awareness. I have worked at all levels of care, inpatient, residential, intensive outpatient and out-patient and understand the seriousness and severity of eating disorders.

I always ask a new patient what decided them to pick up the phone and start their therapy journey. What is your reason to consider therapy? What was weighing on you that you needed to probe? Was it unrelenting depression, relationship issues, family struggles, or did you just want to grow? I'm here to help you along whatever path you need to pursue. Allow me to enter your world and join you on your journey towards your goal. I'll turn on some lights for you to better see ahead in a positive, nurturing, non-judgmental way. In the comfort of my cozy office, we'll work together. It is your therapy, and you allow me to guide you.

I provide a safe and honest environment where we can work through the difficulties and begin the process of moving forward. I am passionate about providing my clients with the very best guidance, treatment and tools they need to reach their goals. I have extensive experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who are having difficulties dealing with divorce, anxiety, depression, childhood trauma, relationships, life transitions, and women's issues.

I have been a Therapist for 27 years. Working with people who need and want to change is powerful. Most people have something they would like to change or heal from. Wanting or needing change does not make it happen, you have to work at it. Clients often come to therapy at a loss of what to do next and thats where the process begins. That's what therapy is all about. Finding the right therapist is critical to change and healing. I encourage you to call me.

If you are having difficulties in your life or relationships, it can be helpful to talk with someone who is not a friend or family member. Therapy can help you get to know yourself better and discover what you want and need. In a safe, comfortable, and private space, you can explore your thoughts and feelings and make positive changes in your life.

I am dedicated to enhancing the health, development, and positive functioning of children, adolescents, and young adults. I am also passionate about supporting pregnant & postpartum mothers. My goal is to provide informed, strengths-based, research supported, compassionate treatment. I work with children and parents to improve wellbeing and functioning, strengthen relationships, and build skills to better manage stress, anxiety, behavior, and emotions. Participation in therapy is collaborative with a focus on strengths, reducing challenges, and increasing effective coping strategies to allow for optimal engagement in daily life.

We all experience life walking in different shoes and no one experience is the same. My experience as a therapist has been spent helping others believe in the power of self-motivation and healing through relationships. For 18+ years working with children and families, I have gained value in connecting with others and encouraging individuals to see the beauty in human kindness and connectedness. We can together to create safety, promote strength, and heal from life’s biggest hardships. We all have the internal strength and resources to heal from trauma experiences when guided and supported. I hope to be that support to you.
