I've been in the mental health field for over 25 years and still strive to keep my "beginner's mind". I have a psychodynamic orientation (which means I believe that the relationship between the therapist and you is an important part of the process). My work is informed by many things, including the Buddhist principal that suffering comes from attachment to things we often aren't aware of or simply don't know how to let go of. I've found it helpful to use various wisdom resources, poetry, and humor in therapy.

Regardless of theoretical orientation and style, research has shown that in order for therapy to be effective, people must feel that the therapist has a genuine sense of connection to them. I very much enjoy the work and the people I work with, and I look forward to connecting.

I take a warm, curious approach to understanding you and the roots of your suffering. Together, we’ll explore not only what you’re experiencing, but why, so you can better understand yourself and navigate your life with more clarity and confidence. I’m a natural “dot connector”—almost forensic in how I help piece together the ways your history, relationships, beliefs, and experiences intersect and shape the present.

I work extensively with trauma (both recent and historical), relationship challenges, and substance use concerns. My goal is to help you feel truly seen, understood, and supported as we build a healing path that is both informed and deeply personal to you. Wherever you’re starting from, we’ll walk the path of understanding and healing together.

My pronouns are they/them. I have extensive experience supporting clients within the LGBTQIA+ community as well as those outside of it, and I strive to offer an affirming, knowledgeable environment for people of all identities and backgrounds.

It can be exhausting to spend so much time thinking about what you should be doing differently while feeling unsure how to make things change. Maybe anxiety is taking up more space, conflict in your relationships keeps repeating, or you’re harder on yourself than you would be to someone you care about. Therapy gives us a chance to slow down and look at what’s happening when you feel stuck. Rather than pushing feelings aside or trying to fix them right away, we can listen to what they’re trying to tell us and use that understanding to create meaningful change.

I work with adults and young adults navigating anxiety, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, social anxiety, blended family dynamics, and religious trauma. My approach tends to draw from mindfulness, emotionally focused therapy (EFT), and internal family systems (IFS).

But often, what seems to be even more important than the approach we use is the relationship we build along the way. I want therapy to be a place where you feel comfortable being yourself, feel understood, and can make sense of what you’re going through.

Sometimes our lives can become overwhelming and challenging. We might encounter events that are out of our control. Perhaps our relationships are rocky, or we are at some point in our lives where change is disruptive and hard to maneuver. Suddenly, we find ourselves needing support and want to explore what therapy might have to offer. I work with individuals, families, and couples in a range of ages, teen to elder. I am an inclusive provider who is a strong supporter/advocate in working with BIPOC and LBGTQIA2+ communities.

I find it really helpful to create a solid therapeutic connection which allows the individual to feel they are truly validated. Some of the interventions I am trained in include EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing), Brainspotting, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.

You don’t have to face things alone. Whether you're exploring your identity, coping with overwhelm, or working toward better balance in your life, I’m here to support you. I'm a licensed therapist in Florida and Minnesota, offering in-person sessions in Mount Dora, FL and telehealth across both states. I work with individuals, couples, and families, helping clients build on their strengths to navigate challenges with more clarity, confidence, and resilience.

I specialize in supporting children (ages 9+), teens, and adults as they manage stress, ADHD, life transitions, anxiety, and relationship issues. My clinical focus includes mindfulness, emotional regulation, communication, conflict resolution, self-awareness, and self-esteem.

My approach is collaborative, grounded, and tailored to each client. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), holistic practices, and other evidence-based tools to support your unique goals. I believe that every experience carries meaning—and that healing starts with understanding, self-connection, and practical skill-building.

I believe it takes a lot of strength to reach out for help. Engaging in therapy often means a willingness to be vulnerable. It's an honor and privilege for me to experience that space with clients. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, grief, life transitions, or just feeling stuck, therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of yourself, others and the world around you. I work with teens, adults, and older adults, and I especially enjoy supporting folks who are neurodivergent (like those with ADHD or autism), as well as older adults and caregivers navigating big life changes.

My style is warm, thoughtful, and low-pressure. I want you to feel safe showing up just as you are. I mostly use a psychodynamic approach, which means I’m interested in how your past experiences and relationships might be showing up in your current life.

I am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). This type of therapy is commonly used for treating trauma symptoms, but can be used for anxiety, depression, grief/loss, and eating disorder symptoms. We’ll work together to notice patterns and build insight that helps you move forward.

I work as a team with clients exploring current issues and how mind, spirit, and body are interconnected. I believe when people have hope and can learn to challenge and replace irrational thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes, they are free to experience change. I utilize an eclectic, client-centered, holistic approach incorporating Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectic Behavioral Therapy techniques, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Psycho-education.

I specialize in working with teens and young adults age 12 and older, treating anxiety disorders, obsessive compulsive behavior, life changes, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, peer/relationship issues, and depression.

It’s hard to feel at peace when you’re overwhelmed, burned out, masking, or carrying things alone for too long. I offer a safe, supportive space where you can explore what’s weighing on you, express yourself openly, and begin overcoming the obstacles keeping you stuck. Together, we’ll focus on helping you live more authentically, reconnect with your priorities, and build more trust and compassion with yourself and others.

I use person-centered, eclectic approaches tailored to your individual needs and believe struggles and conflict can become opportunities for growth, healing, and self-understanding. Therapy can help you reframe painful experiences, feel less isolated, and move through life with greater clarity and confidence.

In addition to traditional talk therapy, I am a certified art therapist and incorporate creative approaches when helpful. I work primarily with older teens and adults and have specialized experience supporting people navigating autism, trauma, anxiety, depression, mania, and serious and persistent mental illness.

I provide a safe, supportive space where you will feel heard, understood, and free from judgment. Whether you’re looking to heal, find balance, or simply just have someone in your corner, I’m here to support you every step of the way. I specialize in working with caregivers of loved ones with special needs/chronic illness, maternal mental health, and borderline personality disorder. I also enjoy practicing family therapy.

I offer years of experience supporting individuals coping with the stress that accompanies being a caregiver. I love supporting the interpersonal relationships within a family and helping everyone in a family unit understand each other and "speak the same language".

I tailor my approach to fit your unique needs, meeting you where you are and working together to create a form of therapy that feels right for your goals. If I sound like someone you could connect with, reach out, and we can set up a free consultation. I would love to hear more about you!

I operate from a holistic perspective and believe that every client deserves a collaborative wellness journey tailored to their unique needs. My areas of specialty include art therapy, mindfulness, and positively focused talk therapy. I enjoy helping my clients create fulfilling and intentional lives, while leaving behind the negative beliefs that no longer serve them. As a strength-based therapist, I believe in harnessing and building upon the positive aspects of each client, with the goals of personal empowerment and overcoming current challenges.

I enjoy working with young adults, adolescents, and school-aged children. I also enjoy working with adults of all ages providing therapeutic support to caregivers, persons living with chronic and/or serious illnesses, persons coping with grief/loss, and individuals/families with relational and family dynamics issues/conflict. ‍
