You are feeling the pressure to be a Super
Woman
, maybe a Super Mom, definitely a Super Everything. Maybe you are pregnant or postpartum and trying to cope with all the feelings and transitions. You rarely stop to take care of yourself before you take of others because you just don’t have time or you’re too tired. The stress can feel overwhelming, but you don’t know what to from here because it feels like you’re caught in an endless loop. You might have a history of anxiety, depression, or difficult life events that seem to pop up at the worst possible moments and make it that much harder to manage all these demands.

I provide counseling services to
Women
, Couples, Children, and Families in the Tampa and surrounding areas that have experienced trauma.
Through my experience working with hundreds of individuals who have experienced trauma, I’ve learned there is not a one sized approach. Trauma is subjective to an individual, and is a natural response to a life event. Trauma can occur at any point in your life and left unresolved can result in various issues. As a clinician it is not my job to define or classify trauma for you, rather to listen to your story and guide you in reaching your optimal self. If you feel like you may have experienced trauma, let's talk. My first consultation is free to see if I'm the right fit to hear your story, as you deserve to choose who does.

I began my social work career supporting and advocating for
women
impacted by human trafficking at a non-profit agency. I now work with teens as a school social worker. I have experience working with survivors of domestic and sexual violence, individuals with family members struggling with addiction, self-esteem and body-image issues, life transitions, depression, anxiety, loss, eating disorders, and am passionate about working with the LGBTQIA+ population. There’s debate about what it is that makes therapy effective. I believe that it’s a mixture of a nurturing, non-judgmental relationship with your therapist, solid and tailored.

Too often life isn't as easy as we thought it would be and we often get stuck. Since 2010, I have been serving adolescents, adults, and
women
seeking a better/healthier life. I find many people are motivated to change but may not know what steps to take in the process. You may feel stuck and it may look like anxiety, depression, codependency, or poor relationship habits. I have experience helping people with relationships, trauma/life crisis, communication, anxiety, depression. Additionally, my expertise stretches into healing from trauma, sexual abuse, and loss. ***Request counseling today: https://mixednutscounseling.com ***

I help
women
let go of self-criticism, foster self-compassion, and reconnect with their most authentic selves.
If you’ve ever felt like you were trying to fit into a box created by your parents, peers, or society - I see you. If you’ve felt like you have spent all of your energy trying to please others to the point that you feel completely disconnected from yourself - I understand how disorienting this can feel. So often people come to me feeling anxious and guilty for having their own needs and for wanting to care for themselves. If this is something you can relate to, you are not alone.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the United States, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
