I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a master’s-level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) practicing in Florida. My experience working in residential treatment settings for mental health and substance use has shaped my commitment to compassionate, client-centered care. Through years of clinical practice, I’ve developed a deeper understanding of how thoughts, emotions, and life experiences impact daily functioning and overall well-being.

I strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and understood. Like many people, I have faced personal challenges that have deepened my understanding of mental health and strengthened my empathy for those I work with. I earned my master’s degree in social work from the University of Maine and have worked in home-based family programs, residential treatment settings, and a methadone clinic providing medication-assisted treatment. Throughout my career, I’ve supported adults with dual diagnoses, trauma, mood disorders, serious mental illness, and substance use concerns, as well as older adults navigating life transitions.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Bradenton

Finding the right therapist in Bradenton starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, look for a licensed provider — such as an LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, or psychologist — who has experience with your specific needs. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their approach and decide if they're a good match before you commit to a session.

Bradenton and the surrounding Manatee County area have a range of mental health providers, but finding one who is accepting new patients, fits your schedule, and takes your insurance can take time. On Headway, you can browse providers by specialty, availability, and insurance plan, then book directly. Many providers also offer a free phone consultation so you can see if the fit feels right.

Therapy in Bradenton can be expensive without insurance coverage. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs upfront, and your out-of-pocket cost may be as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
