Let's Connect (813) 607-6355
Simply text me at (813) 419-2127 to get started! Together we will seek to address the root cause of your psychological symptoms and encourage healing, self-awareness, resilience, and self-empowerment. My approach is holistic, eclectic, direct, and collaborative. In the past, I have provided psychotherapeutic care in an inpatient psychiatric setting, the VA hospital, and have worked as a medical social worker in an ICU during the pandemic. I have also provided psychological services in public schools, skilled nursing facilities, and both the juvenile justice and adoption systems.
I specialize in EMDR, CBT, ACT, and DBT (mindfulness therapy). I also have experience with clients that are receiving Spravato, ketamine treatments, or TMS therapy.
Being a therapist is an incredible privilege. It is humbling to be trusted with the intimate details of people's lives and to support them as they navigate their life journeys. I'm grateful for the opportunity to work alongside my clients as they discover their inner wisdom and develop the tools they need to thrive.
