Therapists in Florida

I’m a licensed psychotherapist who helps children, teens, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges and create meaningful change. I support clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, anger, trauma, behavioral challenges, and relationship stress. My approach is warm, collaborative, and practical — whether we’re working one-on-one or strengthening family connections, I focus on helping you feel understood, build resilience, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life.

As a licensed therapist with broad experience across multiple areas of practice, I strive to create a compassionate and non-judgmental space in every session. With a dual Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage and Family Therapy, I offer comprehensive insights into one's individual needs. I work with teens and adults, supporting clients as they navigate concerns such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I am committed to providing a safe, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions at your own pace. My goal is to help you gain insight, build effective coping strategies, and move toward a more balanced and fulfilling life.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist nearing 20 years’ experience, I work with a foundation of Solution Focus and Systemic Therapy. I’m often looking for "the funny" in the moment and the world around me. I greatly enjoy sarcasm, snark, and satire. I'm fairly casual but have been told I "Clean up well", and clients have told me in the past they appreciate that I do not come across as "stuffy". I'm often daydreaming of going on cruises with my wife and occasionally think about bringing our children as well. I treasure a long nap in a hammock, and I love movie. Once upon a time I even submitted a short film to the Cannes Film Festival (wasn't selected) but I did enter. Prior to being a therapist, I found myself listening and caring, as people would end up just talking to me and telling me their life story. I decided I should put that to good use. Additionally, growing up my family was fortunate to be able to adopt and quickly we became a larger family that could not remember when my sister was not part of the family. Through the process, I realized how important family and relationships. I appreciate and look forward to the chance to help others get through the rough patches, when life hits hard. When the answer is not easily found, we take time to look at all the options and find something, at least one step towards better. We're not looking for perfection, just looking for progress, a little bit here and there.

Therapy is a collaborative journey, and together, we’ll work toward solutions that bring clarity, resilience, and healing.

Many have shared that I help them see beyond rigid perspectives, create new possibilities, and manage their emotions in a healthier way. They find comfort in knowing that therapy with me is a safe space where they feel truly heard.

I'm a mental health therapist who is passionate about helping individuals gain deeper insight into themselves and create lasting, meaningful change in their lives. My work is grounded primarily in psychodynamic therapy, which means I focus on helping clients uncover and understand unconscious patterns, early relational experiences, and internal conflicts that influence how they think, feel, and behave today. I believe that by bringing these deeper dynamics into awareness, people can begin to heal from past wounds and build more fulfilling lives and relationships. In addition to psychodynamic therapy, I integrate tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support clients in managing present-day symptoms and building practical coping skills. CBT allows us to identify and challenge distorted thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. We work together to reshape those thoughts and develop healthier behaviors that promote emotional well-being. ACT helps clients relate differently to their internal experiences by fostering mindfulness, acceptance, and alignment with personal values, encouraging them to take meaningful action even in the face of difficult emotions. My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s unique needs and goals. Whether someone is struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, self-doubt, or a sense of feeling stuck, I work to create a safe space where they feel seen, heard, and supported. Together, we explore the roots of their struggles while also building the tools they need to thrive in the present and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I'm licensed in Florida, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Vermont, Alaska, Arizona, Alabama, Arkansas, Indiana, New Mexico, Mississippi, North Carolina. I have experience working with adults and adolescents dealing with depression, anxiety, substance abuse, self-esteem, life changes and other challenges. I feel it is important for a client and therapist to work together a team.

I have a background in community mental health leadership, psychological testing, and university counseling, and have extensive experience in treating a wide variety of emotional issues and psychiatric conditions. I have a passion for all things mental health related since a teen, and have had the privilege of working as a Psychologist for well over 25 years. I enjoy leading complex clinical mental health operations for patients and families and have a straightforward vision in delivering interventions and support, destigmatizing mental healthcare, and being a leader on approaches to revolutionary mental health treatment. I emphasize creating a safe, non-judgmental, and supportive space for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. My sessions tend to be conversational and reflective, and I make space for both structure and flexibility depending on what you’re needing in the moment.

As a licensed clinical social worker, I am committed to collecting evidenced based "tools for my toolbox" to aid those grappling with finding the new normal after their world has shifted. I most love helping people find language to describe their losses, often when there has been difficulty finding the words, inspiring people to find hope again, and facilitate the development of a plan to move forward in a way that both honors their experiences and embraces the future. I take an action-oriented, collaborative approach to therapy. I utilize a combination of psychoeducation, storytelling, and evidenced-based interventions to offer meaningful insight to support clients’ healing. I strongly believe that rock bottom is the foundation upon which we can rebuild our lives. We do regular check-ins to review progress along the way. Our goal is not to change the past, but instead to find some relief from symptoms that impact daily functioning. I will solicit feedback regularly during sessions for takeaways to gauge progress and curate treatment interventions based on what is most engaging and productive for the individual client.
