I don’t believe therapy should be some boring clinical experience that you dread attending. I aim at creating a light hearted space for my clients to face whatever has brought them to my door.
(Well technically I don’t have a door since its telehealth but you know what I mean)
I talk so casually during sessions that you’ll feel like we’ve met before. I’ll ask you about what’s been going on and how you’re experiencing it. I’ll ask you how your much-needed date night went this past weekend, or how far you made it into that book you wanted to read. I sincerely want to know how you’ve been doing. I’m not afraid to talk about the hard or awkward stuff, and I’m also not afraid to let you know when you’re limiting yourself.
Our therapy is a judgment free zone. You don’t judge my cats who sometimes make an appearance and I won’t judge you.
I will put in the time and show up and if you will do the same great things can happen!
Some of you may be here because you are going through something that is very painful and my idea of ‘fun’ therapy may not seem to fit. I encourage you to give it a chance. We will have the difficult conversations and cry the tears but perhaps my approach will make all of that a little more bearable.

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by constant demands and limited space for personal reflection. Therapy offers a unique opportunity to pause, take stock, and reconnect with yourself. It’s a space where you can become more aware of your emotions, re-examine your choices, and move toward greater clarity and peace of mind.

My approach is client-centered and active, helping you uncover new perspectives and broaden your options. Together, we’ll work on overcoming doubt, managing difficult emotions, and building resilience in the face of life’s challenges.

I specialize in working with children, adolescents, and young adults, supporting them through emotional turmoil, family stressors, and communication issues that can impact their well-being. Whether you’re struggling with personal challenges or relationship difficulties, I’m here to help you break through roadblocks and find a positive, affirming path forward.

We all want a life of significance and balance—and I believe that with the right guidance, these are not just dreams but achievable realities. Happiness isn’t a mysterious force; it’s the result of learning and practicing skills that anyone can develop. With my support, you’ll gain confidence, emotional resilience, and the tools you need to create a more fulfilling life.

Let’s work together to improve your emotional well-being and help you get to a place where you feel comfortable, empowered, and ready to thrive.

Hello!

I'm Jim, and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in both Florida and Connecticut.  I'd like to support you in building the life you imagine!

Life can be happy, joyous, and fulfilling.  However, life can also be challenging at times.  Challenges may involve external situations which we're currently facing, they may be internal struggles involving our feelings and thoughts, or both.  During these challenging times, it is often beneficial to work with an empathetic, supportive, and knowledgeable therapist who will assist you in taking the steps necessary to deal with such challenges effectively and move forward with your life.

I have 14 years of experience as a therapist working with adolescents, adults, and seniors dealing with a variety of issues.  I have worked as a therapist in a nonprofit outpatient mental health and substance abuse treatment agency, treating clients with depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders.  As a primary therapist in an inpatient substance abuse treatment facility, I have supported clients as they begin their journeys of sobriety and recovery.  I have also assisted patients and family members facing end-of-life issues as a home hospice social worker.

Cynthia Wells

I am currently only accepting female clients. My journey to becoming a mental health counselor is built on a foundation of professional dedication and a deep understanding of human resilience. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, my approach is centered on trauma-informed care and psychodynamic principles, but my perspective is uniquely shaped by over two decades of firsthand experience in high-stress, high-stakes environments.

Before entering the world of clinical practice, I served our nation in the U.S. Army and later dedicated myself to public service as a law enforcement officer. These experiences instilled in me an unparalleled sense of discipline, a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, and, most importantly, a profound appreciation for the immense psychological burden that accompanies a life of service. My lived experience allows me to connect with clients in a way that academic training alone cannot, fostering a level of trust and authenticity that is critical for true healing.

My therapeutic style is collaborative and person-centered. I am committed to helping my clients not just manage their symptoms, but to truly understand their root causes. Using an in-depth psychodynamic approach, we will work together to explore how past experiences and unconscious patterns may be shaping your present thoughts and behaviors. The goal is to gain deep self-awareness, empowering you to break old cycles and build a more resilient and fulfilling future.

While my background gives me a unique understanding of veterans, first responders, and their families, my practice is open to anyone navigating life’s most challenging experiences. I believe that every individual has an innate capacity for healing, and my role is to provide the support, insight, and practical tools to help you on your journey.

I am here to be a trusted partner in your path toward emotional well-being and personal peace.

About Me
Welcome—I’m Emmanuel Nzuzu.
If you’re here, something within you knows that the way things are… is not the way they’re meant to be.
You may be carrying more than you let on—On the outside, you may still be functioning. But internally, it feels different.
And at some point, you begin to recognize: You cannot keep living this way.
In our work together, you are faced with a powerful choice:
You can continue to think about your life as it is… or begin to see it as it should be.
You can stay anchored in your current reality… or start creating a new one.
You can focus on how heavy things feel… or on how different they could become.
You can keep revisiting the problem… or begin building the solution.
My role is to guide you through that shift—with clarity, structure, certainty, and intention.
I provide a private, grounded space where you can safely confront what you’ve been carrying—without judgment, and without losing yourself in it. Whether it’s alcohol, drugs, emotional overwhelm, or internal conflict, we work to help you regain control by taking your power back from the patterns that have been quietly running your life.
Together, we move beyond survival.
You will learn to steady your mind, regulate your emotions, and become guided by a clear vision of your future and not memories of the past.
This is not about managing symptoms. It is about reclaiming your clarity, your strength, and your direction—and building a life that reflects who you truly are. 
If you’re ready to stop living in what is… and begin creating what should be, I’m here.

Dr. Emmanuel Nzuzu

Nazia Basha

Hi, I'm David Hobbs. I’ve been practicing as a licensed psychologist for more than 25 years, primarily utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy as an effective tool to treat anxiety and depression. As these can be emotionally debilitating conditions, addressing these issues can improve one’s sense of well-being, and thus their lives in general, dramatically. For the past 5 years, I have incorporated spirituality into my treatment regimen, thus addressing that  aspect of one's personality in relation to improving their overall sense of emotional well-being. I have recently authored a book, "God is Love, Revelations From Spiritually Transformative Experiences," to help enlighten others  who have questions about God and spirituality, and incorporate these lessons into their everyday  lives.

My approach prioritizes safety, collaboration, and clarity, so you feel understood while making tangible progress. I guide you in building coping strategies, strengthening resilience, and navigating life transitions, all within a space designed for security and trust. Sessions are structured yet flexible, ensuring each visit contributes to measurable growth and positive outcomes.

Hi, I’m Philip Crouse, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. My clinical background is rooted in high-acuity environments, meaning I am highly experienced in helping individuals navigate complex crises, severe anxiety, deep depression, and the heavy weight of addiction and trauma.

If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or buried by recent life events, my goal is to help you find air to breathe right now. I don't believe in just sitting and nodding while you vent; therapy should be active. We will work collaboratively using practical, evidence-based tools—like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused techniques—to dismantle unhelpful behavioral loops and build immediate, actionable coping strategies.

I operate from a strictly trauma-informed framework. This means I understand that safety and nervous system stabilization are the prerequisites for any real healing, and your autonomy and pace are always my top priorities.

Whether you are navigating intense grief, the pressure of a major life transition, or the ongoing impact of past trauma, I provide a grounded, non-judgmental space where you are seen as a resilient survivor. Together, we can shift from just talking about the problem to actively building the functional, manageable life you deserve.

Dr. Spears

My name is Romy Rodriguez and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have worked with various populations with mental health and substance abuse struggles. I also provided Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to adolescents and their families who were living in homeless shelters and were in the court system. I have also worked with women with Post-Partum depression and struggling with substance abuse. Two of the modalities that I work with are Brainspotting and EMDR. Brainspotting focuses on identifying specific eye positions (“brainspots”) that connect to unprocessed material in the brain. By maintaining focused attention on these spots, clients are able to access, process, and resolve underlying issues at a deeper neurological level. This approach is especially effective for trauma, anxiety, and emotional regulation, allowing for profound healing in a safe, attuned, and client-centered space.  I also specialize in EMDR. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an evidence-based therapy designed to help clients process and heal from trauma, distressing memories, and negative beliefs. As an EMDR-trained therapist, I guide clients through structured phases that use bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements) to help the brain reprocess stuck or overwhelming experiences. This allows painful memories to lose their intensity and supports the development of more adaptive, empowering beliefs. EMDR is highly effective for trauma, anxiety, and other emotional challenges, offering deep and lasting relief in a safe, supportive, and client-centered environment.

Dinah Metcalf

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 12 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.

I employ a straightforward and empathetic approach while utilizing strength-based and person-centered perspectives to help those I work with obtain their treatment goals and realize their greatest potential.

Jonell Pearce

I approach therapy with the belief that healing and growth are always possible. Change is a natural part of life, and I view counseling as a supportive space where individuals and couples can explore challenges, strengthen resilience, and move toward greater well-being. My work is grounded in compassion, empathy, and respect, creating a safe environment where clients feel seen, heard, and understood.

I was born in Cuba and moved to the United States with my family at a young age. Growing up in Central Florida, I became deeply curious about people, relationships, and the ways we navigate life’s struggles. That early curiosity developed into a calling to support others through their own journeys of healing and growth. Today, I work with both individuals and couples, helping them process trauma, improve communication, manage anxiety, and cultivate stronger, healthier connections.

Fluent in English, Spanish, (and Spanglish), I enjoy providing therapy in whichever language feels most comfortable for my clients. My cultural background and bilingual skills allow me to offer a more inclusive and culturally sensitive counseling experience, something I believe is essential in building trust and fostering healing.

In my practice, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method, tailoring treatment to meet each client’s unique needs. I also bring a person-centered philosophy, emphasizing empathy, authenticity, and collaboration as core elements of the therapeutic process.

Outside of my professional life, I value balance and joy. I enjoy barbell strength training, which reminds me of the importance of persistence and self-care. I also love singing with my husband and spending meaningful time with family and friends. These personal joys keep me grounded and inspire the work I do with clients every day.

Feeling tense and on edge, restless, ruminating all the time, can't get out of bed, constantly worrying and feeling annoyed and irritable? While these feelings can be quite unsettling I understand just how to help you make the next move to feeling better.
I am a licensed therapist in the state of Florida with over 12 years of experience working with individuals on a host of different issues from anxiety, anger, relationship issues, self esteem and many more.  I have worked in a many different setting and all those experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength and I am right here to help you walk through those difficult times. 
I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination by incorporating prayer and the Word along with therapeutic interventions.  “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction. 
The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless and it is your choice to make. Even an ounce of success is better than no success. Take that leap of faith and start living a changed life.
This is my story, What’s yours? Let’s talk.


Judith Gordon

Hello! I am an experienced, licensed psychologist who has helped many individuals, couples, and families to navigate various life transitions. I enjoy serving clients who are willing to assess their value systems to determine if their values are still consistent with who they want to be.  To some extent, our personal styles are genetically determined.  However,  I  also believe we base our values on early learning, whether that education was positive or not.  


Marilyn Katell

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida, and I provide therapy exclusively through telehealth for adults and teens. My goal is to offer a supportive, down-to-earth space where you can explore what’s been weighing on you and begin to make sense of your experiences in a meaningful way.

Over the years, I’ve helped clients work through a wide range of challenges, including ADHD, trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, grief, communication, and major life transitions. I also work with people who feel stuck, unmotivated, or uncertain about their direction in life—those moments when questions about meaning, regret, or identity start to surface.

My approach is collaborative, compassionate, and grounded in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I believe therapy is not about “fixing” you—it’s about understanding yourself more fully, finding what works for you, and building a life that feels more balanced, authentic, and fulfilling.

I value creating a safe and nonjudgmental space where you can speak freely and be met with genuine empathy and respect. Whether you’re looking to process painful experiences, manage difficult emotions, or gain clarity about your next steps, I’m here to help you navigate that process at your own pace.

All sessions are held online for your comfort, privacy, and convenience—making it easier to access support wherever you are in Florida.

I integrate clinical expertise and our shared faith to accompany you towards becoming fully alive.  While I am physically located in the Florida Panhandle, I provide specialized telehealth counseling to individuals and couples throughout the state of Florida.

(I offer a 'fit-first' approach. If we discover within the first 15 minutes of our initial session that we aren't a good match, the session will be concluded at no cost to you.)
_______________________________________________________________________________________
A counseling relationship is often necessary to effectuate meaningful change--identifying and interrupting maladaptive patterns and building new ones.  We’ll examine your history, resolve current challenges, and map a clear path to your goals.  I specialize in brief, focused therapy that can result in relief from depression and anxiety, plus targeted treatment for accumulated trauma (combat, childhood physical/sexual abuse, emotional neglect, poverty, loss).  

Kind Regards,

Silvio Fina

I am a bilingual therapist that uses a culturally competent lens to empower individuals. I utilize a down to earth, genuine, and caring approach to help clients build resilience, heal from life’s challenges, and unlock their own strengths. 

My parents came from Cuba in order to open up the doors for me to have what they never had the opportunity to obtain. I am the first person in my family to attend college and to this day the majority of my family does not speak English. My family raised me in a culture where family and relationships are highly valued. I feel very fortunate to have blended cultural values and morals, as this helps me better understand others from different cultures.

Are you struggling with crippling guilt and anxiety? Are you caught in a spiral of worry or stress you can’t stop, constantly second-guessing yourself? You feel stuck in the loop of “what ifs”: “what if I fail?”, “what if I lose my job?”, etc. 

Has owning a business & battling the daily overwhelm of the constant anxious thoughts gotten to be more than you can handle?

Are you a first/second gen who is feeling the exhaustion of being the first at everything? You're a tightrope walker, trying to balance others expectations with your own desires. You feel like you’re never “good enough” and are tired of the guilt.

Is parenting an overachieving anxious teen leaving you feeling at a complete loss as to how to help them or where to even begin?

Hi, I’m Tery, I specialize in anxiety with a special interest/focus in first/ second gen, entrepreneurs, and teens.  If you’re looking for a therapist who can relate and will interweave authenticity with a refreshingly no-bullshit, direct approach, then you have come to the right place.

My name is LaRhonda Lang. I am an African American therapist who values creating a space that honors both your individual story and the bigger cultural contexts we live in. I know that therapy can sometimes feel intimidating, but I offer a space where you can bring your whole self- your thoughts, your emotions, and your lived experiences- WITHOUT JUDGEMENT. I'm here to listen, support, and help you find strategies that actually fit your life. Your therapy is tailored just for you. 

LaRhonda Lang

I fell in love with psychological studies in high school. Becoming a therapist has fulfilled my curiosity about human existence and my quest for happiness. I used therapy to overcome my own struggle with fears, shame, and self-doubt, which has affirmed my faith in the helping profession. I have learned through training and personal experiences that all human beings have the same basic quests in life and that we all deserve a chance to develop our unique potential, contribute uniquely to the tapestry of life, and be happy. I have also learned that human growth can only lead to spiritual development and discovery. My growth in understanding the common threads of humanity helps me treat my clients with respect and compassion. I have had extensive training in CBT, EMDR, mindfulness, trauma-focused, and insight-oriented therapies. My inclination is to use an integrated approach that meets clients where they are and helps propel them forward to achieve their objectives.



Patrick Boursiquot

With over 15 years of experience in the mental health field, I am passionate about supporting adults and couples as they navigate life’s transitions and pursue meaningful growth. Whether you are a college student or recent graduate adjusting to a new season of life, an individual facing anxiety or depression, or a couple preparing for marriage or working to strengthen your relationship, I strive to provide guidance that feels both supportive and practical.

My Christian faith shapes my personal values; however, I work with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. Faith-based perspectives are incorporated into counseling only if a client specifically desires it.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you feel heard, understood, and supported. Life transitions—whether expected or unexpected—can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to navigate them alone. Together, we can explore the challenges you are facing and work toward the emotional and personal goals that matter most to you.

I specialize in working with adults experiencing life changes, including college and post-college transitions, relationship challenges, marriage and premarital preparation, and parenting. I also support individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and stress that often accompany these seasons of change. My background as a behavioral specialist in community mental health allows me to effectively support adults diagnosed with ADHD or autism spectrum disorder, as well as parents raising children with these diagnoses.

In my work with couples, I draw from my experience as a trained Prepare/Enrich facilitator to help partners strengthen communication, navigate conflict, and build healthier, more connected relationships.

When working with individuals, I primarily use a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My focus is on equipping you with practical tools and strategies so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and resilience.

Chelsea Repic

Hello, I’m Edmundo Carrion. I work with adults who are navigating life transitions, stress, anxiety, self-doubt, and the lingering impact of difficult experiences. I bring experience from crisis, detox, residential, outpatient, and rehabilitation settings, which has shaped a calm, grounded approach to therapy, especially during overwhelming or uncertain moments.

I believe meaningful change happens when you feel understood, supported, and empowered. In our work together, we’ll focus on building practical skills, strengthening insight, and reconnecting you with the strengths you already have. My goal is to help you feel more confident, balanced, and capable of moving forward in your life.

Edmundo Carrión

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed, burned out, or stuck — unsure how to keep caring for others while also taking care of themselves. If you’re a caregiver, or someone struggling with self-confidence and emotional stress, you don’t have to navigate it alone.

My name is Clint, and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving clients in Florida and Alabama. I specialize in supporting caregivers of older adults and individuals with disabilities, as well as helping adults strengthen self-esteem and build lasting confidence.

As a former primary caregiver for my father, I understand firsthand the emotional weight that caregiving can carry. Managing appointments, coordinating resources, and coping with guilt or exhaustion can leave little room for your own well-being. Since 2011, I’ve worked alongside caregivers and families to reduce burnout, set healthier boundaries, and restore a sense of balance and support.

I also help individuals who feel held back by self-doubt, anxiety, or depression. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, develop practical coping skills, and build confidence that carries into daily life, relationships, and decision-making. My approach is collaborative, supportive, and focused on practical tools you can use outside of sessions.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. The first session is simply a chance for us to talk, understand what’s been weighing on you, and see if working together feels like a good fit — with no pressure or expectations.

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, I’d be honored to support you.

If you’re constantly overthinking, struggling with your relationship with food or your body, or feeling like you have to hold everything together, you’re not alone.

I’m Anjalie Sukhwa, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, university professor, and PhD candidate. I often work with women and individuals navigating anxiety, eating disorders, body image concerns, and the pressure to appear “okay” on the outside while feeling overwhelmed internally.

I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences, build insight, and develop practical tools for change. Using evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and trauma-informed care, I tailor therapy to meet your unique needs, values, and cultural background.

I also integrate a mind–body approach, supporting clients dealing with the emotional impact of chronic health or medical concerns and helping you build a more trusting, balanced relationship with your body.

My style is warm, collaborative, and gently challenging. I’ll support you while also helping you move toward meaningful, lasting change.

Greetings! Bienvenido!

Let's take a moment to reflect on the courage it takes to begin therapy. You are brave. Change is hard, but the rewards of healing from distress, trauma and internal pain are powerful. As are you!

I have experience helping people with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, bereavement, loss, family/relationship conflicts, self-harm, anger management, parenting, child welfare system, foster care, adoption, school transitions, divorce, abortion, survivors of narcissism, career changes, stigmatized experiences and other major life changes.

I can assist you identify patterns and help break the multigenerational trauma cycle and create new patterns to help you find fulfillment in your life.

I love working with people from all ages and walks of life. Therapy goes at your pace and readiness for challenges.

I gladly make accommodations as requested. I will ensure you have a safe space to process and complete the work that needs to be done to make therapy successful. Non-traditional beliefs, ideas, and experiences are welcomed to be explored without judgment or pressure to conform. In fact, some the most rewarding therapy sessions for my clients have been discussing unique philosophies that are contrary to popular opinion and culture.

I pride myself in maintaining a strong work ethic, staying well organized, focused and applying strong self-care interventions. I work 3 jobs, 7 days a week, morning until night. I will do my absolute best to ensure our sessions begin and end on time. However, due to the nature of this career, there are occassions where I may be delayed with another person to evaluate for additional interventions (therapists are mandated reporters in Florida). Please keep this in mind when considering mental health services. If delays do occur, I apologize in advance. I will make sure you receive the best therapeutic services possible.

Hello there I’m Johnny, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Miami, Florida. Outside of my work, I’m someone who loves to explore new places, try different foods, and spend time outdoors. Traveling gives me perspective and reminds me how much there is to learn from different people and cultures. I also enjoy cooking, scuba diving, and finding quiet moments near the ocean whenever I can.

I’ve always had a curious side—I’m fascinated by astronomy and love collecting action figures, which is something that’s stuck with me since childhood. Those small interests keep me grounded and remind me to make space for the things that bring joy.

Family is important to me, I value humor, honesty, and connection, both in my personal life and in the relationships I build every day. I believe that who we are outside of our work matters just as much as what we do, and I try to live in a way that reflects that balance.

If you're feeling constantly overwhelmed, mentally exhausted, or stuck in patterns of worry, self doubt, or low motivation you're not alone. Anxiety, depression and burnout can make even simple daily tasks feel overwhelming and draining. Therapy can provide a space where you feel like you are not carrying everything on your own. I provide a warm, supportive, and non judgmental environment where you feel safe and comfortable to explore what you are experiencing. With over 10 years of experience in the field, I have helped individuals navigate periods of stress, emotional distress, and life transitions.

Do you feel overwhelmed by your emotions? Like no one truly sees you or understands what you are going through? Maybe you find you find yourself questioning your worth, putting pressure on yourself to perform, or struggling to quiet that critical inner voice. 

 Hi, I’m Laura. I’m a Venezuelan Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I specialize in helping adults who are: 
- High-achievers struggling with anxiety or burnout
- People pleasers who put everyone else first
- Anxious-attachment styles
- Individuals navigating life transitions who feel stuck or lost
- Those who feel disconnected from themselves and uncertain of their next step

Therapy with me is a place where you can finally take off the mask and show up as you are, and still be met with compassion and clarity. I help people make senses of their emotions, understand thought patterns, and develop practical tools to move forward. Together, we will process difficult experiences and create space for new ways of thinking, feeling, dreaming, living. 

Laura Ojeda

Painful experiences often lead people to develop protective strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. These strategies may appear as perfectionism, emotional avoidance, anger toward loved ones, or repeated involvement in unhealthy relationships. While they can offer temporary relief, they often create disconnection from oneself and others, contributing to feelings of loneliness, shame, anxiety, and depression.

I am dedicated to helping individuals strengthen their sense of self worth and process traumatic experiences that contribute to insecure attachment and unhelpful patterns. I believe that although emotional wounds often occur within relationships, healing also takes place through safe and supportive connection. With compassion, courage, and a willingness to explore difficult experiences, meaningful and lasting change is possible. Healing can happen, and there is always hope.

Hi, I’m Tami, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I understand how overwhelming life can feel at times, how easy it is to get stuck in painful patterns, and how hard it can be to take that first step toward change. You don’t have to do it alone!
I’m deeply passionate about helping people find their way through difficult seasons of life and feel less alone in their struggles. I support individuals navigating anxiety, OCD, perfectionism, low self-esteem, mood challenges, relationship conflicts, parenting stress and guilt, trauma, eating disorders, and addiction, while helping them reconnect with a sense of balance within themselves. My hope is to create a space where healing feels possible, growth feels supported, and a more grounded, fulfilling life begins to take shape.

To me, therapy is about more than just talking—it’s about creating a safe, supportive environment where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we’ll explore what’s holding you back, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools to help you feel more empowered in your life. I use a flexible, personalized approach that draws from CBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, Strengths-Based Therapy, and other evidence-based strategies—always meeting you where you are and moving at a pace that feels right for you.

I believe healing from the past is often an essential step toward creating a brighter and more meaningful future. My goal is to walk alongside you as you build resilience, deepen self-understanding, and create balance emotionally, mentally, physically, spiritually, and intellectually.

If you’re ready to begin your healing journey—or even just considering that first step—I would be honored to support you in moving forward, overcoming challenges, and creating the life you deserve.
