Jacksonville, FL - Accepting clients in FL
I have specialized in working with individuals and couples who are interested in a deep, transformative experience that resolves core issues, not just symptoms. My work is unique compared to many other therapists because I go beyond a strictly cognitive approach. I use a holistic approach that includes Psychodynamic (childhood issues), Somatic (body-oriented), Couples Systems, Meditative (Mindful) practices, Life Coaching and HMR (Holographic Memory Resolution) Techniques. HMR is a leading edge mind-body therapy that allows expedient access to past memories and complete resolution of the painful emotions associated with these events without having to relive them.
My deep understanding of the interrelationship between mind, body and spirit allows for healing all facets of the human energy system. My client's often resolve and change deep seated negative patterns and cognitions resulting in a greater capacity for intimacy, joy, inner peace and confidence.
My style is warm, interactive yet, direct and to the point. I will help you navigate towards the life you prefer to be living. I especially enjoy working with young adults, adults, and couples going through a major life transition, recovering from trauma or, looking for renewed meaning and direction.

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.
