Great to meet you!

You may have pent a lot of time being the strong one - holding things together while quietly wondering when it'll feel easier. Maybe anxiety keeps hijacking your focus. Maybe ADHD has made you feel like you're perpetually behind. Maybe you've served, and the things you experienced don't have easy words. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know you're not broken. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, veterans, and military families across Florida navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. . I offer telehealth therapy across Florida, so you can get support from wherever you are in the state.




I bring together CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and clinical hypnotherapy - not as a rigid formula, but as a flexible toolkit I adapt to what you actually need. I offer telehealth therapy across Florida, so you can get support from wherever you are in the state.

My approach to therapy

Your therapy should fit your life, not force you into a box. I work with you as a partner, exploring what’s behind the patterns you want to change and building practical strategies you can use day to day. I draw on evidence-based cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, and clinical hypnotherapy, adapting each approach to your goals and pace.

What you can expect from me

The first session is just a conversation. I'll ask about what's been on your mind, what you want your life to look like, and what's gotten in the way so far. You set the pace. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of what we'll work on together, and you'll feel like you've already started - not just talked about starting. Most clients leave that first session feeling heard and a little lighter. That's exactly the goal.
