Are you struggling with anxiety, depression or trauma? Do you feel emotionally stuck overwhelmed, or disconnected from your true self? You are not alone and support is available. I am a licensed therapist in Florida and Indiana, offering online therapy. I specialize in LGBTQ+ affirming therapy, anxiety treatment, depression, relationship, infidelity counseling, and trauma informed care. My goal is to make you feel safe, seen and supported as you work towards healing and growth. My approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a compassionate collaborative style. Whether you are recovering from past trauma, or navigating your identity, therapy can help you reconnect with yourself and build a more grounded and empowered life. I offer virtual therapy sessions across Florida and Indiana making it easy to access care that fits into your schedule and comfort.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

Your first session will provide us both with the opportunity to get to know and become more comfortable with each other. Trust takes time to build but I hope to earn yours so that we can move forward with your healing journey in the most powerful way. I encourage questions and for you to share your concerns with me. I believe that a good therapeutic relationship is collaboration between the therapist and the client.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I am friendly, warm, nonjudgmental and multiculturally competent. I have lived and traveled internationally extensively and have a great deal of knowledge across many cultures and religions. I also work well with professionals trying to manage home and work stress. I have experience as an "Executive and Professional Career Coach" and draw from my extensive experience in the world of Start Ups, High Tech and Higher Education.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I enjoy working with client's who have found it difficult in the past to find a therapist that really understands them. I work well with clients that are striving to have a better work life balance and may be having trouble separating work stress from their personal life. I am particularly helpful with client's who have concerns about feeling judged. There is almost nothing you can tell me I have not heard; I am non-judgmental and have a wide variety of experience working with people in alternative lifestyles or spiritual beliefs.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Our thoughts create our reality. I help people learn to re-frame thoughts in a way that reflects the outcome they desire as opposed to the outcome they fear.
