I am someone who believes all people have the capacity to heal, grow, and live fully when given the right support. I recognize that life has many challenges and sometimes we just need help in facing the obstacles in our way. I became interested in psychology and understanding people after my brother was diagnosed with schizophrenia and I saw a drastic change in who he was as a person. This journey of trying to understand people, started in middle school, continued through college where I fell in love with Psychology, and into my masters program where I got a degree in Social Work. I started a career as a mental health therapist in 2019, and I continue my journey of learning and growing to better serve the needs of my clients now and in the future.

I am a licensed psychologist in Florida with over twenty-five years of experience with children, adolescents, and adults with a wide range of mood disorders, parenting problems, behavior, and relationship issues. I have conducted evaluations for Social Security Disability and the Department of Children and Families as well as custody Parental Evaluations for families and the court system. I am trained in Collaborative Law divorce mediation to help families focus on the best interest of their children through those difficult circumstances. Working with patients that are having difficulties making life adjustments as life becomes more complex is what I enjoy the most because we all can become more adaptable and develop new skills and techniques to help us cope more effectively. I have worked with patients suffering with and recovering from significant medical issues including COPD, CVA, TBI, cancer, diabetes, COVID, and physical injury, assisting them in regaining strength and independence and being able to return home following inpatient rehabilitation intervention. Many people I work with are first responders, have PTSD, or are suffering from Acute Stress Disorder following a trauma. My therapy style varies according to the issues presented, and my role as a psychologist is not to judge but to treat people as individuals and provide needed support. I use cognitive-behavioral and reality therapy and am very much in-line with the humanistic approach in all client care. I prefer to be solution-focused and to provide clients with valuable tools that they can use in the future as needed. Decision making strategies and techniques are emphasized. I provide supportive therapy and try to aid in empowering patients in taking confident, measured steps toward where they want to be next in their life path.

Hi! My name is Zoe. I specialize in virtual therapy for teens and women navigating the lasting impact of complex PTSD, borderline personality disorder (BPD), eating disorders, anxiety, and depression. My work is rooted in the belief that healing begins with understanding—not just of symptoms, but of the emotional patterns, past experiences, and survival strategies that shaped them. I'm certified in DBT and trained in EMDR, integrating evidence-based approaches with a warm, direct style that helps clients build deeper insight, emotional regulation, and lasting change. Are you a teen or adult woman juggling the stress of work, school, or relationships while feeling stuck in a cycle of overthinking and self-doubt? Maybe past experiences still weigh on you, keeping you up at night, or you feel pressure to have it all together when, deep down, you’re struggling. You might be coping by being hard on yourself, over-controlling food or exercise, or repeating relationship patterns that don’t feel healthy. If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. I get how overwhelming it can be, and I’m here to help. If you’re exhausted from holding it all in, stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, toxic relationships, or self-doubt… I see you. If food, perfectionism, or emotional shutdown became your survival tools, you're not broken—you adapted. If you’ve been told you’re “too emotional” or “too sensitive,” but deep down you just feel too alone, this space is for you.

I am a farm boy from Minnesota who, after being diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis and losing a career in banking, suffered and endured a few years of physical and emotional health instability. My own journey of having my story and heart cared for by a compassionate yet sturdy mentor and friend led me to reconnect with a desire to help people, a desire that I had some knowledge of but had not yet cultivated. My wife and I met during my career transition, and after enduring infertility treatments we adopted 2 boys, whom I am daily delighted by. My story is messy and beautiful, and my ability to own my insecurities, weaknesses, and failures has led me to know a strength that I did not know existed before. I want to help others experience the kind of sturdiness that I know operate with, at least most of the time!

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on Anxiety?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need. For example, your selected specialty, Anxiety, is filtering therapists in Florida that work with patients with similar concerns.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
