Do you understand why you feel the way you do, but the feelings won't change? Maybe you've been to therapy before, gained insight, and still find yourself stuck in the same anxiety, low moods, or painful memories — and you're starting to wonder if anything will really work.

Talking helps, but some things — especially trauma — don't fully heal through talking alone. That's why I use EMDR, a proven, structured approach that helps your brain reprocess painful experiences so they lose their grip on your daily life. Many of my clients are surprised to feel real movement on things they've carried for years.

I'm a licensed marriage and family therapist supporting adults across Florida with trauma, anxiety, and depression.

My approach is open-minded, creative, and collaborative. I draw from EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Narrative Therapy, and experiential methods, but our work will always be centered on your goals and what feels meaningful to you.

Together, we may work on reducing overthinking, understanding patterns that keep you stuck, setting boundaries without guilt, processing trauma, or reconnecting with parts of yourself that have been pushed aside. I want therapy to feel practical and emotionally safe, while also helping you move toward real change.

In our first session, we’ll talk through what brought you to therapy, what has been weighing on you, and what you want life to feel like moving forward. You do not need to have everything perfectly explained or figured out before we meet.

We’ll begin by getting to know each other, identifying what feels most important to focus on, and building a foundation for our work together. My hope is that you leave the first session feeling understood, grounded, and clearer on the next steps in your healing.
