Feeling like you can't quite keep it together? Sometimes we get overwhelmed with the stresses in life and need help sorting them out. Maybe you've just hit a low point or feeling overly worried and anxious. Talking to a therapist has helped many people who are feeling the same way. The last few years have been more than difficult, and people are struggling. I help people figure out what's working well for them and what's not. Then we explore together the many strengths and skills you already have and can use to overcome the problems life throws at us. I teach new skills and introduce new tools that you can use to feel better and get your life back on track. I have many years of experience working with people with depression and anxiety as well as bipolar and schizophrenia. I am accepting of varying types of diversity and use solution focused methods with compassion and caring to create and meet the therapeutic goals that are unique to you. Starting therapy can be hard but it can change your life. I would love to work with you to start that process and look forward to meeting you.

In my 16 years as a mental health professional, I've dedicated myself to creating a space where you are the focal point of our therapeutic alliance. My practice is deeply rooted in a person-centered approach, enriched by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) principles. DBT equips us with a structured yet flexible framework to navigate our emotional landscape. We begin with mindfulness, cultivating an awareness that anchors you in the present and fosters an attitude of self-compassion. Being fully present allows you to engage more authentically with your narrative and the therapeutic process. For those moments when life's challenges feel overwhelming, we'll employ DBT's distress tolerance strategies to help you find a center of calm and resilience. Building on this, emotion regulation techniques are tailored to empower you to manage intense feelings and respond to situations that align with your goals and values. Interpersonal effectiveness is another cornerstone of our work, enhancing your ability to communicate your needs clearly and maintain fulfilling relationships. As we navigate this path, your personal goals and strengths will guide our journey, ensuring that therapy remains a collaborative and validating experience. This integrative approach is about harmonizing the acceptance of your authentic self with the drive for change and growth. It's about building a life that not only endures hardships but also celebrates your unique journey towards healing and fulfillment. I invite you to embark on this transformative journey with me. Discover a therapy that is not just about overcoming, but thriving; not just about healing, but living fully. Start the conversation and explore the possibilities for your path forward by scheduling your appointment. Together, we can craft a life that resonates with who you are and who you wish to become. Your story is waiting to unfold, and I am here to listen, support, and guide you through each chapter.

I am currently accepting new clients via teletherapy. I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 22 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. I am also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and worked in the past with individuals of various ages across the Autism Spectrum. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual/couples/relational therapy realm. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my relational therapy practice. Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.

In my experience, I have learned that “hitting rock bottom” does not mean the end of your life, but rather a chance to rebuild your life the way you want it. Life can get stressful and often leave one “suffocating” from the pressure. It is in those moments that you need someone to stand in the chaos with you or help you rebuild. I empower clients to regain control and find balance in their lives. We’ll work together to change your perspective about the situations that are making you feel stuck and identify new ways to address them. Whether you are experiencing some lows in your life, seeking healing from trauma, or wanting to be a better version of yourself, I’ll meet you where you are and provide you with the tools you need to achieve your goals.
