New to Grow
Another fight. Another moment where things didn’t go the way you meant them to. You tell yourself you’ll handle it differently—but in the moment, you react in ways you don’t fully understand. It’s starting to feel like a cycle you can’t break. I work primarily with women navigating relationship challenges, overthinking, anxiety, people-pleasing, dating, breakups, divorce, and major life transitions. Many of my clients are insightful, self-aware women who are tired of repeating the same emotional patterns, second-guessing themselves, or trying to hold everything together on their own. Because I keep a smaller caseload, I’m able to provide more focused, intentional care. Together, we work on understanding the deeper patterns driving your reactions, communicating more clearly, building emotional steadiness, and creating healthier, more secure relationships. My approach integrates CBT, DBT, attachment-based work, and relational therapy in a way that is warm, practical, and depth-oriented. Therapy with me is not about perfection—it’s about helping you feel more grounded, more self-trusting, and more connected to who you are. I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker providing telehealth therapy for women across Florida. I work with women who feel stuck in patterns they don’t fully understand—whether that looks like overthinking, people-pleasing, relationship struggles, anxiety, emotional burnout, or difficulty trusting themselves. My approach is warm, intentional, and depth-oriented. Together, we work on understanding the underlying patterns driving your reactions so you can communicate more clearly, build healthier relationships, and feel more grounded and secure in your daily life.
The first session is a space for us to slow things down and begin understanding what’s bringing you to therapy. We’ll talk about the challenges you’ve been facing, the patterns or situations that feel emotionally exhausting, and what you hope will feel different in your life and relationships moving forward. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. My goal is to create a space that feels thoughtful, supportive, and collaborative while helping you gain clarity, direction, and a deeper understanding of yourself.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is helping clients recognize and understand patterns that have felt confusing, emotionally exhausting, or difficult to change on their own. Many of the women I work with are highly self-aware and insightful, yet still find themselves reacting in ways that don’t fully align with who they want to be. My approach is both warm and direct. I believe meaningful change happens when clients feel emotionally safe enough to explore deeper patterns while also gaining practical tools they can apply in everyday life. Rather than focusing only on symptoms, I help clients understand how past experiences, attachment dynamics, thoughts, emotions, and relational habits interact to shape the way they move through the world. I intentionally keep a smaller caseload so I can provide thoughtful, high-attention care and remain deeply engaged in the therapeutic process. My work integrates evidence based approaches in a way that is collaborative, grounded, and tailored to each individual client. Clients often tell me they feel deeply understood in our work together while also feeling challenged in ways that help them grow, communicate more clearly, build healthier boundaries, and develop more secure and fulfilling relationships.
Many women come to therapy feeling caught in cycles of overthinking, emotional ups and downs, or relationship experiences that leave them feeling confused, unseen, or unsure how to express their needs. You may find yourself questioning your choices in dating, struggling with conflict in close relationships, or feeling like you lose parts of yourself when trying to stay connected to others. Therapy focuses on helping you better understand these experiences, regulate difficult emotions, and develop the tools needed to build healthier and more stable connections. This often includes improving communication, setting boundaries, navigating conflict more effectively, and creating relationships that feel both supportive and authentic.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I incorporate DBT skills to help clients better manage intense emotions, improve distress tolerance, strengthen relationships, and reduce impulsive or self-defeating patterns. I often use mindfulness, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness strategies in a practical, supportive way tailored to each client’s needs.
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
I use ERP-informed strategies to help clients gradually face feared situations, reduce avoidance behaviors, and build tolerance for uncertainty and anxiety. I approach exposure work collaboratively and at a pace that feels supportive while still encouraging meaningful progress.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, better understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and develop healthier coping strategies. I often incorporate CBT techniques to support clients with anxiety, stress, self-criticism, relationship challenges, and patterns of overthinking.
Christian Counseling
For clients who desire it, I offer faith-integrated counseling that thoughtfully incorporates Christian values, spirituality, and discussions around meaning, healing, relationships, and personal growth. My approach remains client-centered, respectful, and tailored to each individual’s comfort level and beliefs.
