My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by both professional experience and real life. Before entering the counseling field, I spent nearly two decades working in the nonprofit world, supporting individuals and communities through complex systems, major transitions, and periods of uncertainty. I earned my master’s degree in Counseling and Psychology from Troy University and became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I’ve been practicing since 2014, providing in-person therapy through 2020 and working exclusively via telehealth since then. Along the way, I’ve navigated my own experiences with grief, loss, major life transitions, and surviving cancer. These experiences inform a grounded, compassionate approach to therapy. I’m licensed in Florida and Vermont and provide virtual therapy to adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, and life transitions.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
The therapeutic relationship is my top priority. Our first sessions focus on getting to know you, clarifying your goals, and creating a safe, comfortable space where you can be yourself. Sessions are supportive, empathetic, and grounded. While therapy can be challenging at times, I bring warmth, authenticity, and humor when appropriate to help the work feel human and connected. Some clients want practical coping strategies, while others want space to explore their experiences more deeply. Therapy is always tailored to your needs, with the goal of helping you feel seen, supported, and more confident navigating life’s challenges.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength as a therapist is integrating clinical expertise with lived experience. I bring resilience, authenticity, and compassion into my work, grounded in a real understanding of loss, uncertainty, and major life transitions. I am EMDR trained (Levels 1 and 2) and currently completing consultation. I integrate CBT, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and humanistic approaches, tailoring therapy to each client’s needs in a thoughtful, collaborative way. When appropriate, I also incorporate practical self-care tools and grounding practices — including nature-based strategies like gardening — to support emotional regulation and well-being outside of sessions.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with thoughtful, engaged adults who are open to reflection and growth and are looking for a therapist who is empathetic, professional, and authentic. I aim to meet clients where they are and walk alongside them as they navigate life transitions, emotional challenges, and periods of change. I primarily work with adult women and support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, chronic illness, and life-stage or identity transitions. My approach is collaborative and paced, blending insight with practical coping strategies so therapy feels grounded and manageable.
Eclectic
I use an eclectic, integrative approach that combines Humanistic therapy, CBT, Mindfulness, EMDR, and other evidence-based techniques. By drawing from multiple therapeutic models, I can tailor sessions to the unique needs of each client, integrating the most effective strategies to support healing, resilience, and personal growth. This flexibility allows me to respond to the complexity of each individual’s experience with a personalized and holistic approach.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With years of experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ve seen how effective it can be in helping clients break free from unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and emotional distress. In sessions, I help clients understand the connections between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and work collaboratively to develop more balanced thinking and stronger coping strategies. Whether addressing self-esteem, emotional regulation, stress management, or trauma-related challenges, CBT provides a structured, evidence-based framework that empowers clients to actively participate in their healing and create lasting, meaningful change.
Humanistic
I use a humanistic, strength-based approach in therapy, focusing on clients’ existing resources, resilience, and capabilities rather than just their challenges. This perspective empowers clients to build confidence, reinforce their sense of agency, and discover solutions that work for them. By highlighting what is working well, therapy fosters hope, promotes self-understanding, and supports meaningful, lasting change.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I regularly incorporate mindfulness-based approaches as a powerful tool to help clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma, and emotional dysregulation. Mindfulness fosters self-awareness, emotional resilience, and the ability to respond—rather than react—to life’s challenges. In sessions, I guide clients through techniques such as breathwork, grounding exercises, body scans, and present-moment awareness, helping them reconnect with themselves and create space between thoughts and emotions. Whether used on its own or alongside CBT, solution-focused therapy, or EMDR, mindfulness provides a calm, centered foundation that supports healing, insight, and lasting change.
EMDR
EMDR is an evidence-based, trauma-focused therapy that helps clients process and make sense of distressing or overwhelming experiences in a safe and structured way. Rather than focusing only on talk therapy, EMDR supports the brain’s natural ability to heal by helping memories become less emotionally charged and more integrated over time. Through EMDR, clients can reduce trauma-related symptoms such as anxiety, intrusive thoughts, emotional reactivity, and distressing memories. The process allows individuals to gain new perspective, strengthen coping skills, and feel more grounded and in control in their daily lives. I am EMDR trained (Levels 1 and 2) and currently completing consultation. I integrate EMDR with other evidence-based approaches, including CBT, trauma-informed care, mindfulness, and humanistic therapy, to support healing, resilience, and long-term emotional well-being.
