Hello, and welcome! As a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals on their unique paths toward healing and personal growth here in the beautiful State of Florida. Through my counseling journey, I’ve discovered that real, lasting change begins with self-compassion. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space where you feel empowered to express yourself and explore the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re navigating feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression, we’ll work together to uncover the root causes and develop personalized strategies to overcome them. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing on mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and solution-focused techniques tailored to your individual needs. It takes courage to seek support and take the first steps toward a more joyful and fulfilling life, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work to help you build a life of purpose, resilience, and happiness. Let’s begin this transformative journey—you don’t have to do it alone!

Feeling stuck, disconnected, or frustrated and not sure why? You’re not alone. Maybe your relationships aren’t what they used to be. Maybe your focus is all over the place. Or maybe you just feel like something is off, and it’s starting to affect your work, your energy, and your confidence. I work with individuals who want more out of life but feel held back by something they can’t quite name. Whether it’s trauma from the past or symptoms of ADHD that were never addressed, we’ll figure it out—together. I provide long-term, results-driven therapy in a supportive yet challenging environment where you can finally start making sense of what’s going on. With over 12 years of experience and dual Master’s degrees from Barry University, I bring both training and real-world perspective to our work. I’m a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP), an ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), and I’m trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) and EMDR—two powerful tools for working through trauma and getting out of survival mode. My approach is straightforward and collaborative. We’ll identify the patterns, beliefs, and experiences that are interfering with your daily life and build a better framework that supports clarity, stability, and self-control. I do this work because I’ve seen the transformations that are possible when individuals commit to the process. Therapy doesn’t have to be abstract or feel like guesswork; you’ll get a plan that fits who you are. You don’t have to keep feeling this way. Book an intake session today and take the first step toward feeling like yourself again.

Hey, I'm Matt. Life may not offer a lot of certainty, but one thing is for sure: everyone struggles sometimes. You might feel like you struggle MOST of the time. I’d like to counter that notion with the belief that embracing those struggles can be the key to overcoming them. To be clear, embracing our struggles doesn’t mean they simply disappear, but I believe we can learn to acknowledge and manage them in a way that will allow us to feel more empowered and prepared to face them. When we live with anxiety and depression, it makes sense that we would want a permanent fix, but I believe that expectation too often leads to feelings of hopelessness simply because that’s not how anxiety and depression work. What if, instead of waiting for them to magically disappear, we learned to acknowledge those feelings and used our own unique experiences with them to get ourselves through the struggles? If you are struggling, I’d like to offer a safe space for you to talk it out and hopefully come away with a different perspective on your ability to manage your anxiety and/or depression. I might point out a turn here and there, but you’ll do the driving!

Welcome! Thank you for checking out this space. My name is Tammy. If you have struggled with traditional talk therapies and feel like they haven't always met your needs then you are at the right spot. I use several different evidence based modalities to help reset your nervous systems, update the way your mind had been processing information to clear out trauma or lingering emotions that have been stuck on. I believe we all have had those times where we ask ourselves; why can't I just get myself to start or stop doing (______) fill in the blank. It is because where we are conscious of things is not where things are being caused.

Then let's meet to discuss your personal needs further and go from there!

Almost all of us struggle with many of the same questions. "Am I good enough?" "Why do I feel like I don't matter?" "Will I ever be truly happy when I seem to make the same choices over and over again?" Do you want to manage anxiety? Do you feel depressed? Have you experienced a trauma? Do you find yourself unable to finish projects or find your car keys? Are the kids struggling? Whatever is going wrong, a safe place to talk, knowing your trust will never be compromised, is a wonderful gift you can give yourself. During the first visit, we'll talk about what you want to see happen. Together will come up with a plan. Lasting change is possible. You can create a happy and fulfilling life.

Are you experiencing challenges that are interfering with your emotional health and wellbeing? Do you feel your past experiences are affecting your ability to reach your full potential? Do you need a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings and engage in self exploration? I am a licensed psychotherapist who believes the most important catalyst for change is the relationship between therapist and client. My goal is to partner with you to reach your desired goals in a therapeutic environment. We will take the necessary steps together to foster positive change while creating individual strategies for self-empowerment. I have been trained in EMDR therapy which is a theory based on the belief that our brains have a natural system for processing information and experiences so that we can keep what we need for wisdom, learning, and growth. Sometimes disturbing experiences overwhelm the processing system, or we don't have the information we need for our brains to make sense of what happened in a healthy way. EMDR uses eye movements and other right-left stimulation to activate your brain's processing system so you can successfully process the experience and let go of what's not useful to you. I believe our past effects our present and future- both in adaptative and maladaptive ways. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to inner peace, self-love, and fulfillment.

I provide services in a confidential, safe, caring and encouraging atmosphere. Consideration is always given to ethnic, religious, economic, or social needs you may have.

I seek to work with clients who may be experiencing emotional challenges, life transitions, decreased motivation to face uncertainties. I aim to help, and work toward becoming a better self, build a safe therapeutic relationship where the ability to understand and manage uncomfortable emotions, feelings and behaviors strengthens, and allow for personal growth. I strongly believe, we can all benefit from therapy and having a safe place where we feel unjudged, and able to disclose what prevents us for achieving our goals.

Becoming a licensed mental health counselor has allowed me to help people in a meaningful way. I completed my graduate degree in 2015 and began working with children and families in underserved communities. This experience has been some of the most rewarding, while helping people to learn healthy coping and build better resilience when facing life stressors. Over the past 10 years, I have worked with teens, adults of all ages and couples.

I’m a licensed psychotherapist with a background in clinical psychology and former experience in the medical field. I provide individual and couples therapy with a focus on insight-oriented, relational work that helps clients build self-awareness, emotional resilience, and meaningful, lasting change. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in a deep respect for each person’s unique story and cultural context. I have had the privilege of working with clients from diverse backgrounds, including those navigating complex trauma, anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. I strive to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore their inner experiences, gain clarity, and move toward healthier ways of being and relating. In addition to traditional talk therapy, I incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based treatment I’ve been using for the past two years. EMDR has been especially effective in helping clients process PTSD, C-PTSD, generational trauma, and other trauma-related concerns. I also integrate somatic, attachment-based, and mindfulness-informed techniques to support holistic healing and growth. My goal is to meet clients where they are and walk alongside them as they reconnect with their values, inner strengths, and sense of self. I am dedicated to providing culturally responsive care that respects and affirms each person’s identity and lived experience. Whether you're seeking support for personal growth, emotional healing, or navigating life’s challenges, I am here to support you with compassion, clarity, and authenticity.

I am focused on changing the stigma associated with mental health, while developing trust, collaboration, and commitment to my clients, with special emphasis on no individual or group is overlooked or forgotten. My goal is to help clients be honest, transparent, and kind to themselves as one takes steps towards change. Mental Health is an emerging topic across various disciplines due to its ability to impact people across all walks of life. We must preserve our mental health and continue to make this a priority. Here, we understand that some of us struggle quietly. We are here to provide support and provide a safe and open space to talk. After personally dealing with a grief, and various life transitions I decided to re-enter this field and pursue my true passion of helping others. Through professional experience in diverse areas such as crisis stabilization, homelessness, disability, and education roles, I have established an eclectic style of counseling that is authentic and flexible. I have experience with teens, adults, and couples. I strive to encourage change by acknowledging the simple wins and overcome obstacles that arise.
