Hey there ! My name is Dr. Cross. I am a licensed psychologist in Florida with 5 years of experience working with children, teens, and young adults. Do you feel pulled in a million directions, unable to fit in? Are you struggling with your identity, to keep up with your relationships, work, and/or overall health? Is it hard to be kind to yourself? I help individuals deal with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relational challenges, and self-identity struggles. Together, we can identify what's not working and help enhance your overall mental/emotional well-being. We'll use a person-centered approach to address your overall well-being. I also integrate mindfulness, meditation, positive psychology strategies, and other self-help / relaxation strategies that you’ll be able to learn, master, and carry with you throughout your life. Whether you're dealing with stress, self-identity issues, relationship issues, anxiety, depression, or grief, I'm here to help. Seeking therapy, especially for the first time, can feel scary and uncomfortable but you're making a great first step to help yourself. You deserve a safe space to process, heal, and grow. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome the hangups and habits holding you back. Let's work together!

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we will start with introductions - to get to know each other and make sure we are a good fit, and then we will begin to discuss your goals for therapy and what you would like to accomplish together. (Reminder: your goals for therapy can be adjusted at any point during the therapy process)

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have extensive experience helping pre-teens, teens, and young adults who struggle with anxiety, self-esteem / self-confidence, and depression. I also have extensive experience working with the LTBTQ+ community, specifically transgender and gender expansive youth, and helping these individuals process / work through the discrimination they experience and providing them with an inclusive and affirming environment.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
