(she/her)
I am a LCSW-QS who works with adults virtually (FL & Colorado) and in-person in Jacksonville, FL. I provide services in couples therapy (cash/self pay), sex and intimacy issues (cash/self pay), relationship struggles (cash/self pay), anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions, including postpartum and couples intimacy concerns. I take a warm, but direct collaborative approach using various modalities such as CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Gottman Method Level One, EMDR, and I am trained as a Birth Doula, to help clients feel more connected and whole. I am earning my sex therapy certification with SHA.
In our first session we'll get to know each other a little starting with your history. We'll dive into why you're seeking therapy and how you best approach learning. Lastly, we'll create a custom tailored plan on how to start our journey together to reach your goals. Working with me means you'll never feel like a diagnosis. I'm direct, warm, and won't dance around the hard stuff including shame, and the messy parts of relationships. We start with a consultation to make sure we're a good fit, then build a clear picture of where you are and where you want to go. My clients often describe feeling heard in ways they haven't before and showing up differently in their relationships. I work best with couples willing to be honest, individuals tired of surviving, and moms ready to reclaim themselves.
My path to this work wasn't a straight line and that's made me a better therapist. I was drawn to trauma and relationships early in my career, but kept finding myself with couples in pain, new moms lost in their own bodies, and individuals carrying shame around intimacy. I pursued doula training to better support life transitions, which deepened my understanding of how birth and postpartum reshape relationships. Intimacy deserves the same rigor and compassion as anything else we bring to therapy.
I serve individuals and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, sexual and intimacy issues, confidence concerns, and relationship issues. Couples/intimacy sex therapy is self/cash pay. My clients often feel more confident after sessions together. I am licensed in Florida and Colorado. My clients enjoy rapport and support but also a subtle push past defense mechanisms if necessary. I provide virtual services in FL and CO and in person sessions in Jacksonville, FL. I am currently earning my sex therapy certification with SHA.

I just had my very first session with Hallel, and I got to say that I loved it. She is very warm and authentic! Definitely felt super comfortable with her :)

Hallel was straightforward, knowledgeable and very open about her personal experiences as well as her level of expertise. I appreciated her open-mindedness, especially as the session was ending. She demonstrated a solution-oriented outlook, and I look forward to working together.
