I am a licensed psychotherapist in Florida and Virginia. Are you struggling to understand why life has become so difficult? Are you trying to navigate feelings of shame, unworthiness, sadness, depression alone? Does your heart feel weighed down by an ache that you can’t quite put into words? Even worse, the people in your life that you love and care about have no idea how much pain you are in? People tell you to “get over it” and that everyone “has bad days”. It doesn’t have to be this way. You feel your emotions on a deep, intense level that no one else seems to understand? Help and healing are closer than you think.

Hello! With over 16 years experience in mental health, I have a conviction about the human capacity to grow, develop, and adapt throughout life. I appreciate that each person brings to therapy a unique self: the combination of one's personal characteristics, early family relationships, and life experiences. Many times, our most significant growth occurs as a result of learning to cope with challenges that occur in life and the stress that often accompanies change.
