Unprocessed traumatic events produce overwhelming emotions causing distress and impairment to both your personal and professional life. I assist individuals in reprocessing negative core beliefs i.e., (“I’m damaged; I’m not good enough”) proven to decrease anger, anxiety & depression. I assist couples in identifying the problematic root cause of emotional distance by increasing their emotional accessibility, emotional responsiveness and emotional engagement with their partner. In a safe, nonjudgmental environment, I equip both individuals and couples with the proper skillset needed to get unstuck & return to a thriving life.

It's inevitable, life can have its rough patches. We may feel like we don't have control. You wonder: Why am I not happy? What's missing? Why can't I move forward?

If you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, or struggling through life transitions and you're looking to make changes, I'm here to offer you support and assistance.

Hello and Welcome! I have been a therapist for the past 10 years and have loved every second of it. Throughout the years I have worked at the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, Baycare Behavioral Health, Hospice, and as a mental health contractor for the department of Veteran Affairs. Self compassion, breaking old patterns, and learning ways to create your own wellness, are at the core of my practice. Using CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) techniques, we will explore what is blocking you and get you ready to enjoy life.

Hello! I am so glad you're here! I know how difficult it can be to take the first step toward healing. Life comes at us fast and it can be hard to manage all of the transitions and hardships that we may endure, that’s where therapy comes in. That is why I prioritize cultivating a space where you can feel safe and heard while having those difficult conversations. It is important for individuals to have a space where they can be themselves and learn skills that can help foster healthier lifestyles. Making the decision to prioritize your well-being is one that will benefit you immensely and I’m proud of you for doing it!

You didn’t ask for the hand you were dealt, but here you are holding it. After experiencing trauma or something unexpected you may be struggling to find your footing again. So much has changed in so many ways. Or maybe you’re so accustomed to feeling the way you do that you can’t pinpoint what went wrong but you know you need something to change. Everyone needs to ask for help at some point. The way I practice therapy is trauma -informed. This means I’m thinking about the impact your experiences may have on your behavior, mental health, and ability to engage in treatment before you even walk in the door and explain it to me.

My approach focuses on discovering "what happened to you" rather than "what is wrong with you", so that we can address the unique and changing ways that trauma continues to interfere with your current life. For some individuals, the trauma may be a single incident with specific triggers and associated symptoms. For others, the trauma may have occurred on numerous occasions with less specific triggers and a complex group of symptoms that have been treated unsuccessfully creating diagnostic uncertainty.

I am interested in helping clients with a range of concerns from those wanting a space to process their thoughts and emotions to those suffering from extensive trauma . Perhaps your mind has been filled with anxious thoughts that keep you up at night or you have been losing interest in the things that used to motivate and excite you. Maybe you feel trapped in the past and find yourself triggered at inconvenient times. If you are looking for a safe space to process your feelings and are hoping to change the way you think and feel, you are looking in the right place!
