Throughout my counseling career I have worked with veterans, couples, complex families and many other demographics. There is absolutely nothing that you could say to me that would shock me or cause me to be judgmental. I believe that a trusting therapeutic relationship is an essential component of this process. I want you to know that I am capable of holding anything that you may need to share without intimidation or casting shame.

For the past 14 years, I have helped people of all ages, from many different communities, work through hard parts of life. I often work with adults who have lived through trauma and who grew up in tough family situations. I also work with DID and other dissociation experiences. I help clients make sense of trauma reactions, including feeling spaced out, shame, and guilt. My goal is to help people build healthier relationships with family and loved ones, and to feel safe in those relationships. As a therapist, I aim to be open-minded and to create a space where you feel safe and at ease talking about your life story.

I hope to be the guide in helping individuals become motivated to make change, learn new coping tools, and engage in healthier thought patterns and behaviors to live their best possible life. I work from a holistic approach, instead of focusing on a single problem, I believe it is important to view and consider the entire picture. An important part of healing and managing is remembering that it is okay to not be okay, and reaching out for help is the first step towards healing.

I have experience with teens, young adults, Veterans, and active duty military men and women.
You don't need another person to tell you to "think positive." You need someone who can help you understand why you're carrying so much, why the past still has such a strong hold on the present, and why certain patterns keep repeating. Many of my clients are the people that others depend on. They are high-achieving, compassionate, and capable, but inside they're exhausted from carrying more than anyone realizes. Sometimes they know exactly what's wrong, other times they simply know they don't feel like themselves anymore. They may be struggling with trauma, anxiety, perfectionism, or difficult life transitions.

You have been holding it together for everyone else, and the emotional weight that comes from carrying too much on your own has stopped being manageable. Maybe it is anxiety that will not turn off. Maybe your marriage has gone quiet. Maybe a season of your life ended and you are not sure who you are on the other side of it. I have been sitting with people through exactly this for 40 years. Much of my work is Christian counseling, so if you want your faith in the room, it belongs here. If that is not your path, you are just as welcome. I am licensed in Florida and Colorado and welcome in person patients in Florida!

You’ve done the work. You’ve read the books, been to therapy, maybe even helped others through their own healing. And still something’s stuck. I work with individuals who feel like they get it, but can’t seem to move past the same patterns, thoughts, or emotional weight. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, ADHD, or trauma, my focus is helping you name what’s been hard to put into words, and gently process the beliefs keeping you stuck.

You may feel the pressure of holding it all together on the outside while privately feeling anxious, stuck, disconnected, or exhausted by the same patterns repeating in your life and relationships. Maybe your mind never fully shuts off. Maybe you overthink everything, shut down during conflict, feel constantly on edge, or wonder why things still don't feel better or fulfilling despite how hard you're trying. And on paper, life may look fine. Internally, it just feels heavier than it should. I work with individuals and couples who want therapy that goes deeper than surface-level coping to help them understand the patterns underneath.

Something has shifted, or been building for a long time — and you're ready to do something about it. Not just cope better. Actually change. Maybe it's anxiety that lives in your body and won't quiet down. Maybe it's a pattern in your relationships — giving too much, saying yes when you mean no, feeling responsible for everyone else's emotions. Maybe something happened, and you've been managing around it ever since. I work with adults in Florida who are ready to go deeper — using EMDR, somatic therapy, and body-based approaches to reach what talk therapy often can't. I offer a warm, honest space where real work happens at your pace.
