I believe that effective mental health care starts with trust, respect, and open communication. My goal is to create a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns and experiences. I work with individuals facing a variety of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, trauma-related concerns, and other psychiatric conditions. Together, we'll focus on understanding your unique experiences and developing a treatment plan that aligns with your goals and values.
Great to meet you. I’m a licensed therapist in Jacksonville with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from JU. I help teens and adults reduce anxiety, manage depression, and improve relationships using evidence‐based, practical tools.
I want you to know that my role is to support you with compassion, respect, and evidence‐based care. I take the time to listen closely so I can understand what you’re experiencing and what matters most to you. My approach is collaborative—I believe treatment works best when we make decisions together. I’m here to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can speak openly and feel heard. My goal is to help you move toward stability, confidence, and a better quality of life.
As a dedicated mental health professional with a background as a first responder, I understand the profound impact trauma and addiction can have on individuals. I specialize in helping those facing trauma, addiction, and mood disorders by employing evidence-based therapies tailored to every client’s unique needs. I have spent my life working with high-intensity populations and have had the privilege of creating supportive environments, fostering resilience, and helping people achieve lasting recovery. Together, we can navigate your path to healing.
Life can be full of different stressors, which is where I can help. I will provide a warm, non-judgmental, safe, and interactive environment where we take on complex subjects, deep-seated traumas, or for you to say the things you've never told anyone before. I understand these are difficult subjects to speak about, and I will build a therapeutic relationship with you so that you feel strong enough to share. By doing this, we can form realistic and attainable goals to establish growth and promote healing. Remember that healing is not linear. The best gift you can give yourself is to master the chaos & find a way around it.
Work with adults, adolescents and children with anxiety and depression. Help in transitional phases of life (work, divorce, sexuality and gender, school etc)
I am currently accepting new clients. If you’ve been carrying the weight of past trauma, feeling stuck in anxiety, or struggling to move forward despite your best efforts, you’re not alone. I work with adults from diverse backgrounds who are ready to process painful experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with a sense of safety and control. Healing is possible—and therapy can be a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to move forward at your own pace.

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 Fort Myers
Finding the right therapist in Fort Myers starts with getting clear on the type of support you're looking for. Therapists, counselors, psychologists, and psychiatrists each bring different training and credentials. If you're looking for talk therapy to address anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, or life transitions, a licensed therapist or counselor (such as an LMHC, LCSW, or LMFT) is a common starting point. If you may need medication management, a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner can help.
With 8944 licensed providers practicing across Fort Myers and surrounding areas like Cape Coral, Bonita Springs, and Estero, narrowing your options can take time. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who specializes in a specific concern, someone who offers virtual sessions, or a therapist whose approach and background resonate with you. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you feel more confident about the fit.
Therapy in Fort Myers can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance information to see estimated session costs before you book. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, and many people pay as low as $0 per visit. If keeping costs down is a priority, starting with your in-network options is one of the most straightforward ways to do it.
