My ideal clients are parents who want to better understand and support their child through emotional or behavioral challenges. They may be seeing anxiety, big emotions, or difficulty with transitions—possibly after a recent trauma, medical issue, or family change. These caregivers are looking for guidance, connection, and a therapist who can help their child express what’s hard to say with words.

Hi, I'm Cait, a private practice therapist in Florida. Many of the clients I work with are high-achieving and incredibly capable, and still privately feel exhausted by the pressure to keep everything together. What often starts as striving and discipline can slowly turn into perfectionism, anxiety, and a difficult relationship with food, exercise, or body image. On the outside, you may appear confident and successful, while internally feeling stuck in patterns that leave you overwhelmed and self-critical. Even when you accomplish something, it may rarely feel like enough, and it can be hard to know how to step out of this cycle.

I also work at Moffitt Cancer Center, supporting oncology patients and families build resilience and meaningful change.
You’re a professional or in a helping field, you are used to being strong, capable, and dependable... but lately you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or disconnected from yourself. You may struggle with overgiving, relationship stress, or carrying the weight of past experiences while still showing up for everyone else. You want space to slow down, care for yourself without guilt, strengthen your relationships, and feel more grounded and free... not just surviving, but well.

You’re used to holding things together—at work, in relationships, for your family—but lately it may feel harder to stay balanced. You might notice anxiety, low mood, or disconnection that’s hard to explain. Many high-functioning adults reach a point where old coping strategies stop working. Together we’ll explore what’s keeping you stuck and help you feel more grounded, clear, and connected. I draw from EMDR, IFS, relational. psychodynamic and other evidence-based therapies to support meaningful, lasting change.

Cancer Therapists
How does cancer affect mental health?
A cancer diagnosis is a major life event that can significantly influence the mental health of any individual. Being diagnosed with cancer often introduces a sense of uncertainty about the future, which can cause clients to experience symptoms of anxiety, depression, and significant distress. Many cancer patients may also worry about the toll that their diagnosis may have on their family, their physical health, their job, and their financial situation. The compounding of such stressors can also decrease mental health in clients and may lead to additional symptoms that can influence mental health, such as sleeping difficulties or social withdrawal.

What is the best psychological therapy for cancer patients?
The best type of psychological therapy for cancer patients is highly dependent on the needs of the individual. The therapy type that a client benefits from may also depend on what stage of the cancer journey they are in. Recently diagnosed cancer patients, for instance, may benefit from therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which can help clients develop skills to manage the emotional distress that comes with a cancer diagnosis. Alternatively, cancer patients further along in their journey may benefit from therapies like Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or other forms of mindfulness therapy to help manage symptoms or physical pain associated with treatment. Clients may also consider group therapy, which offers cancer patients an opportunity to receive support from other individuals dealing with a cancer diagnosis.

Are there any risks or drawbacks in going to therapy while dealing with cancer?
Although attending therapy while dealing with a cancer diagnosis can be helpful, one major concern for cancer patients can be the financial cost of seeking therapy. Many therapists are out-of-network, meaning they do not accept insurance, and thus clients are expected to pay the entirety of the session fee. Since many cancer patients may be out of work as a result of their diagnosis or cancer treatment regimen, the costs of therapy sessions can be substantial. Luckily, many cancer centers and local clinics may offer free or substantially reduced-cost counseling services to cancer patients and their families. In addition, cancer patients may be eligible for grants or other forms of funding from local agencies and nonprofits to seek therapy for their cancer diagnosis. Such opportunities can be very helpful for cancer patients, as they allow clients to obtain the benefits of therapy without the financial strain.

How long does cancer therapy typically last?
The length of cancer therapy depends on the needs of each client. In some cases, cancer patients may only require therapeutic support during the period following their initial diagnosis—to help manage the uncertainty and shock of a cancer diagnosis. In other cases, clients may choose to receive therapy throughout their treatment, and even following, their cancer journey. Pursuing therapy for a longer period of time can help clients develop a deeper relationship with their therapist and provide opportunity to process the challenges presented by cancer treatment, such as physical pain, and challenges associated with cancer survivorship, such as ongoing identity concerns, physical limitations, or relationship challenges.
