Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

Let me help you leave the weight of old drama, uncertainty, and self doubt behind. As a Well Being Warrior I will be there and have your back through any struggles. When engaging with clients, I leave judgment at the door, and take a creative approach to therapy in response to each clients unique personality. I offer results oriented counseling if you are ready to engage in self-healing, discover and build your core strengths, and identify new behaviors that will allow you to live a happier, calmer and more content life.

Healing is more than fixing what's broken—it's about creating a life that truly resonates with you. If you're someone who's spent hours thinking through your struggles, maybe even doing the "right things", and still feels stuck, you're not alone. Let's navigate a fresh perspective together. Whether it's exploring your history, envisioning future goals, or tuning into the wisdom of your body and emotions, I understand your journey is unique. Join me as we work towards unlocking a more meaningful and purposeful life tailored just for you.

I am a Registered Mental Health Intern specializing in ADHD coaching, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness practices and LGBTQIA+ issues. My journey into therapy stems from a deep-seated passion for helping individuals accept where they are and understand the waves of energy and productivity our brains give us.

I see therapy as an opportunity to learn positive ways to respond to life's challenges, to understand and change self-defeating behavior patterns, and build a more balanced, meaningful and rewarding life. My approach is interactive and collaborative. I listen with support, insight and compassion to help you increase your emotional and psychological assets and to develop your unique potential. Together, we use your present life experience to understand your therapy issues and use a broad range of therapy techniques to help make changes.

Trauma, burnout & life transitions can affect our lives in ways that leave us feeling broken, on edge & lonely. You may feel guilt or shame that you feel that others can’t understand and may not be able to remember a time when life felt “normal”. You are tired of others who don’t “get it” and offer advice that only leaves you feeling more disconnected from the world. You are ready to face your fears, connect to your sense of purpose & love yourself in a way that you never have. Life can be challenging when you are the strong one in your circle, but you recognize that it may be time to show some vulnerability & learn to receive.

We cannot change past chapters of our lives. Where we can take power is now, and the future chapters we have yet to write. If we don't address something unhealthy, every aspect of life can become impacted negatively. Whether you are wanting to learn to manage mental health symptoms, begin the transitioning process, seeking help for everyday concerns like relationship issues, job stress or self-doubt, or experiencing difficult times such as divorce and loss, things can improve. I assure you the strength and ability you will use is already residing in you.

Thank you for reading my profile. While I specialize in working with neurodiverse, autistic, ADHD, and LGBTQIA+ individuals, I work with people from a range of backgrounds and experiences. Creating a collaborative relationship with each client is the foundation of my work to help you achieve your goals for therapy. These goals can range from the more concrete (building skills, managing anxiety, coping with ADHD) to the more abstract such as exploring identities, processing trauma, living more authentically, or simply "feeling better."

Are you feeling burned out from juggling it all? Does your "to do" list ever end or are you worrying about it late at night when you're trying to fall asleep? Are you getting impatient with loved ones followed by deep regret for those unpleasant exchanges you wish had never even happened in the first place? I understand how difficult it can be managing your demanding career or business ventures, your beloved family, and some semblance of a personal life. It all seems so fragile and it feels like you have nothing left to give. That’s not who you are though and you've decided it's time to make a change.

What would you be like if optimism replaced fear? If you were able to view struggles as opportunities for growth? How might this affect the way you see yourself? Could it lead to a decrease in your anxiety or better your mood? We all perceive our lives in story lines. Their plots are created by life experiences, relationships, and societal norms. Sometimes it is these very stories, authored by us, that can make us feel stuck. Imagine experiencing freedom from worry about the thoughts or judgments of others.

Choosing a therapist for yourself or a member of your family can be a difficult decision. The decision to engage in therapy takes true consideration for your wellness and emotional stability. My approach is from a place of compassion. I hope to create safe spaces for clients to engage in a trusting therapeutic relationship and focus on open communication while promoting self-growth and positive change. I believe that everything in life is full of purpose and that each experience we go through can be used as a catalyst to grow. I am passionate about individual growth and diversity.

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! I've been a psychotherapist for 15 years after 3 years assisting in published psychological research. My focus is on adult patients with trauma, family systems, anxiety, depression, addictions, personality disorders and/or emotional dysregulation.

It is my mission to provide quality care with the respect and empathy everyone deserves!

I approach things differently, blending psychotherapy with intuition. I have extensive training in the treatment of trauma, anxiety, and depression, as well as energy psychology. Some fundamental questions in our work together will be: how does fear control your life? what causes you to stay stuck in unhealthy patterns? Digging into these patterns is our launchpad. But tapping into your intuition and your higher self is a game changer. Fear will no longer be in charge of your mind. My passion is to help you connect the dots in your own life and really trust yourself.
