Finding the right therapist can feel a lot like finding your favorite cozy sweater—it needs to feel like the right fit. I work closely with clients to build genuine rapport and create a space where they feel comfortable exploring life’s challenges with openness and trust. I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a master’s degree from the University of North Florida and ten years of clinical experience. I specialize in helping adults navigate major life transitions, manage burnout, and reconnect with the parts of themselves that feel most authentic and grounded. Outside of the therapy office, I enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, crafting, and exploring local coffee shops with my family. I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey toward growth, balance, and meaningful change.
During our first session, we’ll spend some time getting to know each other and talking through what’s been feeling most difficult or important in your life lately. We’ll explore what brought you to therapy, discuss your goals, and begin creating a personalized plan that feels supportive and meaningful to you. Our first session is also an opportunity to build a comfortable foundation for the work we’ll do together moving forward.
Using evidence-based approaches including CBT, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, and DBT, I help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns, strengthen healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change. I’ve had the privilege of working with military members and their dependents, as well as new and expecting mothers navigating the many transitions and challenges of the perinatal journey. My goal is to create a supportive, down-to-earth space where you feel comfortable showing up as yourself while working toward healing, growth, and feeling more grounded in your day-to-day life.
I work with individuals navigating life transitions, including new mothers adjusting to the demands of parenthood, military members and their loved ones, and young adults entering a new chapter after school. Life changes can feel exciting, overwhelming, and everything in between. Together, we’ll develop practical coping tools and strategies to help you manage stress, build resilience, and move forward with confidence.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients recognize how their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence one another. Together, we use that understanding to build healthier patterns, strengthen coping skills, and improve overall mood and day-to-day functioning.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use mindfulness techniques to help clients build awareness of their thoughts and feelings while developing skills to reduce stress, create a sense of calm, and feel more grounded in daily life.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I believe the client is the expert in their own life. Compassion and validation assist the client with increasing their ability to cope with stressful situations.
Psychoeducation
I believe knowledge provides empowerment. Historically, I have provided psychoeducation to assist clients with understanding the symptoms they are experiencing and increasing their coping mechanisms.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
I meet clients where they are at and work with them to sit with their emotions through mindfulness techniques.
