I have been a social worker/therapist for 20+ years. I received my Masters degree at the University of Buffalo, in Upstate New York. I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety. Together, we explore how thoughts influence feelings and how feelings shape behaviors. When patterns become unhelpful, they can interfere with relationships, work, and overall well-being. I help clients build insight and practical tools to create healthier, more empowering ways of responding to life's challenges.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel seen, heard, and supported. My experience in school and community-based mental health has allowed me to support children, adolescents, and young adults navigating anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, life transitions, behaviorial and emotional challenges. Whether you're seeking support through a difficult season or simply want to better understand yourself, I'm here to help. I provide an individualized, compassionate approach tailored to your unique strengths, needs, and goals.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I help individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with understanding, authenticity, and hope. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and compassionate space where clients feel safe to explore their emotions, strengthen relationships, and move toward meaningful change.
I specialize in helping clients manage anxiety, depression, relationship stress, life transitions, and perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). Supporting women and families during pregnancy and postpartum is a particular passion of mine. I am dedicated to helping mothers and parents navigate the complex emotional changes that can accompany this season of life, providing a safe and nonjudgmental space for healing, adjustment, and connection.
My approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused techniques, and Mindfulness, allowing me to tailor treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals.
I provide therapy through a secure telehealth platform, making it easier for clients to access support from the comfort of their own environment. My goal is to help you gain insight, build resilience, and rediscover a sense of balance, confidence, and connection in your life.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Fort Pierce, FL
Finding therapists in Fort Pierce starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which specialties match your needs. Therapists may work with concerns like anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience align with what you want to address. A therapist’s profile can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, or trauma-informed care.
In a smaller city like Fort Pierce, local therapist availability may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and session format. Virtual appointments can expand your options beyond nearby offices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand how each therapist communicates, what session structure may look like, and whether their approach fits your preferences.
Therapy in Fort Pierce can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and make ongoing care easier to plan for. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can browse therapists, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
