Hi! I'm Eileen.
Are you struggling with anxiety, depression, or relationship issues? Since the onslaught of Covid 19, many people have presented with anxiety and depression who have never had symptoms in the past. We have experienced a time of uncertainty unknown to us. I empower clients of all ages to manage anxiety and depression, as well as provide tools to help. Some of my modalities include Solution-Focused Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and Psychotherapy. An integrated approach can be used as well. I have been described as a good, caring, sensitive, and energetic listener. I love being a therapist and enjoy seeing my clients grow over time due to putting in the necessary work.
I have a background in Strategic Intervention Life Coaching and integrate the methods I used successfully in my Life Coaching business into my therapy sessions with my clients in helping them to clarify their goals, identify obstacles holding them back, and then along with the client, help them come up with strategies for overcoming the obstacles.
I look forward to the opportunity to work with YOU!!

If you have experienced trauma, you may find it very difficult to trust new people. And many people who have trauma may also have fears about feeling judged, or rejected. It can even feel hard to trust your own mind. I'll work to create an emotionally safe place for you to tackle the things you feel are getting in the way of being able to live a fulfilling life, and to get the help that you need.
Helping people to get better is a big part of my life. I want everyone who sits across from me to feel accepted, included and unjudged. I try my best to approach life with empathy and humor. And I hope I bring that into every therapy session.

I firmly believe that one of the bravest steps a person can take is to begin understanding their own story. Have you ever felt overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or the weight of past traumas? Perhaps you're navigating a significant life transition or embarking on a journey of self-discovery, especially within the LGBTQ community. These emotions can leave you feeling paralyzed, unsure of where to start, and stuck in a cycle of frustration and self-doubt. If any of this resonates with you, please know that you're not alone.
I'm a seasoned licensed mental health counselor with over 15 years of experience, having held my license for a decade. My practice covers a wide spectrum of mental health challenges, including depression, anxiety, trauma, substance abuse, life transitions, and support for the LGBTQ population.
My approach to therapy is deeply personal, tailored to recognize your unique strengths. I'm a strong advocate for a collaborative partnership between us, where you play an active role in your healing journey.
In our sessions, I draw from effective techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy to help ease your symptoms. We'll also explore the roots of unresolved emotions and past negative experiences that might be impacting your current well-being. My core objective is to guide you in regaining control over your life by helping you reframe your thought processes.
I'm here to support you on your path to healing and personal growth. Your story matters, and together, we can navigate the challenges you're facing.

I utilize a combination of techniques such as guided meditations including imagery and visualization, breathwork, and other relaxation techniques coupled with other Cognitive-Behavioral Techniques (CBT) that are effective in managing a multitude of issues. I have found it is especially effective for people coping with depression, stress, and anxiety, difficulties manifesting a positive self-image, and attaining a balanced life.
I have been told I "provide action-oriented and goal-directed services that effect change." and that I have "a way of presenting information that is gentle and compassionate." I believe we all need gentle compassion at some time in our lives.

To feel truly seen, heard, and understood is one of the most powerful experiences we can have—and it can also be incredibly healing. Therapy offers a space where you are invited to bring your full self: your thoughts, your feelings, your fears, your hopes, and the parts of your story that may feel confusing, heavy, or difficult to carry alone. My goal is to help create that space for you—one grounded in empathy, trust, and safety. When we begin to explore who we are on a deeper level, we open the door to greater self-awareness and meaningful change. In the therapeutic relationship, I strive to support you in reconnecting with your inner voice and your emotional truths. I believe we all carry the answers we seek within us—but sometimes, life’s challenges can make them hard to hear or trust. Whether you are navigating a specific struggle or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, you deserve support that honors your unique story. Life can be both beautiful and incredibly complex. It brings joys, transitions, losses, and moments of uncertainty that can feel overwhelming when we’re trying to face them on our own. Without the right tools or support, stress, anxiety, sadness, or feelings of being “stuck” can take root. My hope is to walk alongside you through those challenges—to help you name what you’re feeling, explore what matters most to you, and build a stronger connection with yourself.

After attending Florida State University College and obtaining a masters degree in social work, I became licensed in the state of Florida as a LCSW. Alongside my credentials I have several years of hands on experience working in mental health care settings from crisis units to residential and outpatient programs. My experience has helped me understand the importance of creating individualized treatment plans and goals unique to each and every persons needs.

We are on this journey toward healing, change, growth, forgiveness, and understanding.
Even though you are the main participant in your story, many times in life we lose sight of where the way is, or even how to find it, so I invite you to join me on this path.
Humbly, without judging you or even assuming that I know more, allow me to lend you a different perspective and hopefully see the pain transformed.

Hi there, I'm Bridgett!
I specialize in Women's mental health, ranging from 18 years old and on. Do you have feelings of hopelessness, sadness, anxiety, maybe you're unmotivated, or need assistance with identifying healthy coping skills? Is your goal to get that joy back in your life? Life isn't always beautiful and perfect, often times it's challenging, frustrating, and confusing. I help my clients acknowledge and experience those unwanted feelings. The idea is to experience them but not to live in them.
Making a decision to seek therapy is a courageous one. It is a beautiful start to the healing process, and self-discovery. If you are interested in beginning this brave journey please feel free to reach out to me.
