Life is complicated enough—and it doesn’t come with a manual. But therapy can be a space where we begin drafting one, together. My goal is to help you live more authentically, compassionately, and in better company with yourself, one step at a time. My approach is rooted in empathy, curiosity, and collaboration. I draw from a range of evidence-based modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, and existential therapy to meet you where you are. I’m a trauma-informed, LGBTQ+ affirming, client-centered therapist who takes a holistic view of healing. I graduated with a Master's degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University in 2021, I obtained my post-graduate license to practice social work in 2024. I have experience supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, schizophrenia spectrum disorders, and personality disorders. Together, we’ll build a strong therapeutic alliance, identify unhelpful thought patterns and core beliefs, and work toward sustainable, meaningful change. I believe healing is deeply personal, and no two journeys look the same. As Carl Sagan once said: "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way."

Life is full of change, and sometimes those changes can feel overwhelming. I believe there is no single “right way” to handle life’s challenges, which is why I take a person-centered and integrative approach to therapy. My goal is to help you feel supported and more at ease with where you are while working toward where you want to be. Over the past 10 years, I’ve gained experience with a wide range of approaches including expressive arts therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, yoga, nature-based practices, nutrition, and relationship work. I enjoy bringing creativity and flexibility into sessions so that we can find what works best for you. I have a strong background in helping clients with worry, low mood, and spiritual concerns, and I strive to create a space where you can feel comfortable exploring any challenge you’re facing. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from Saint Leo University with a specialization in Advanced Clinical Practice. Before that, I completed a Bachelor of Arts in Interpersonal and Organizational Communication, with minors in Film and Creative Writing. My professional experience spans a variety of settings, including community health centers, private practice, child welfare, schools, nonprofits, and the Department of Veteran Affairs. Outside of work, I enjoy traveling, spending time in nature, watching movies, and participating in the arts. I am also licensed in Utah and work with both insurance and cash-pay clients located in the state.

Seeking therapy can feel scary but you're making the right choice. You deserve a safe space to heal and grow. I specialize in integrative individual and couples therapy for the mind and body. My perspective on therapy starts with the central belief that if you listen to your clients, they will always tell you what's going on. While that may seem very basic, unfortunately, there is very little listening going on these days. When we are listened to and are unconditionally respected and accepted, we instinctively have the right stuff inside of us to figure out our issues. That's how we become empowered . That's how we grow. Whether you're dealing with overwhelming anxiety, relationship issues or depression. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion, understanding and respect. And I will use the latest evidence-based techniques to support you in your journey Helping you find that inner strength and resolve is what makes me uniquely qualified to help.

I grew up in South Florida, and I am raising my three teenage/college-aged children here as well. I have been married for over 20 years, and I understand all of the stressors of balancing being a mom, a wife, and having my own career. As an LMHC with over 30 years of experience, I have worked in public and private schools, from elementary to high school, and have served as a college counselor. Additionally, I have worked in private practice and community mental health. I have training as a Parenting Coordinator in high-conflict divorce and have also become a Certified Mediator in the State of Florida. I also have specialized Grief-Informed Training from Children's Bereavement Center, and I have attended several trainings on adolescents, anxiety, OCD, ADHD, and depression. My goal is to provide a safe, warm, and welcoming space for teens and adults to express their feelings. Through the therapeutic process, my role is to strengthen communication and relationships to create more balance, peace, and happiness both within and with others. My motto, "Transforming Struggles into Strengths," moves clients from being a victim of circumstance to feeling strong and empowered to maintain the status quo or make changes and move forward. I bring a calm, gentle approach that uses both challenge and humor to balance stressful moments. I believe that the client is their own best expert, and I assist in strengthening their inner self, which then brings clarity to relationships and increases self-esteem and well-being. Clients will leave our sessions feeling heard and understood, validated, and have confidence and conviction in how they feel. They will have greater insight into who they are, what their next steps are, and they will have developed confidence and self-reliance to accomplish their goals and be their best version of themself.

I work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship stress, attachment wounds, low self-esteem, and major life transitions. Many of the people I support are high-functioning individuals who appear “put together” on the outside but feel exhausted, anxious, or lost internally. They are often navigating complex emotions, difficult patterns, or uncertainty about their direction in life. My therapeutic style blends warmth, structure, and deep insight. My goal is to help you understand yourself on a deeper level—your patterns, beliefs, triggers, and needs—so that you can begin creating real and lasting change. I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can process your emotions openly while learning practical skills to manage stress, regulate your nervous system, and build healthier boundaries and relationships. I believe therapy should be both supportive and empowering. Together, we’ll explore the “why” behind your patterns while also building the “how” of moving forward. I help clients reconnect with their strengths, reframe limiting beliefs, and develop tools that promote emotional balance and self-trust. Whether you’re navigating heartbreak, burnout, uncertainty, or simply wanting to understand yourself better, I’m here to guide you with compassion and clarity.

Perhaps you avoid social situations, struggle to focus, or experience constant mental fog. You might be questioning if you have ADHD or autism, or you might already know and you are seeking someone who understands your experiences. Anxiety might increase with routine changes, leaving you feeling stuck and unable to complete tasks despite your efforts. You may catch yourself wishing to escape or needing someone to truly listen. If you relate to any of this, remember you’re not alone, and you don’t have to face it by yourself.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida (but in my past life, I was a writer and a yoga teacher!). I graduated with my MSW from Florida Atlantic University in 2023. Prior to entering private practice, I interned and worked in the substance use treatment industry for five years. While I’ve worked with a diverse range of individuals, couples, and families over the course of my career thus far, I spent my first three years in the industry working at a substance use treatment facility that serves the LGBTQIA+ population: a beautiful and eye-opening experience. Outside of private practice work, I currently facilitate groups at a mental health facility several times/week.

Michael holds a Bachelor's in Psychology and a Master's in Applied Counseling from Lynn University, specializing in mental health and addiction. He’s driven by the transformative “breakthrough moments” when clients gain new clarity—whether through a fresh insight, a life-changing decision, or witnessing a loved one’s growth. "Every person's journey unfolds at their own pace," Michael reflects. "Being present for those transformative moments—when everything clicks into place—reminds me why I chose this path. If you've ever experienced that sudden clarity, you know exactly what I mean. It's what makes this work endlessly rewarding."

I am a psychotherapist with 16 years in private practice, seeing families, individuals and couples. I have dual master's degrees in both mental health counseling, and marriage and family therapy. Since 2010 I have been providing holistic care from both CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) and Jungian traditions. Holistic health is an approach to wellness that simultaneously addresses the physical, mental, emotional, social, and spiritual components of health. The goals include integration, stability, hope and even joy. Holistic does not mean 'alternative', yet I am experienced in adjunct healing modalities like acupuncture, nutrition and yoga. I like to collaborate treatment in a team approach for my clients when able.

Hello, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who's been licensed in the state of Florida since 2013. I've been in private practice since 2017. It is my belief that the most important thing a therapist can do is carefully listen to their patients to help them feel understood and validated. I also teach evidence based techniques that help my client learn how to work through difficult emotions so they can focus living a rich and meaningful life.

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 Depression?

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, Depression, 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.
