As a licensed mental health counselor, I passionately advocate for self-care and mental wellness while working collaboratively with clients to empower and build resilience and achieve mental health goals in a safe, empathetic space for healing and self-empowerment. I am prepared to assist individuals in coping and managing emotional, behavioral, and psychological challenges.

I specialize in anxiety and stress management for adults, teens, and children. I have experience working with individuals struggling with addictions and have discovered a love of helping people in this capacity. A resilient individual is able to withstand or recover quickly from challenging life events. Let me help you grow through what you go through.

I have 23 years of experience as an educator and understand students' daily stresses. Mistakes happen. It's what you do with them that matters. Let me provide the compassion and empathy you need to overcome life's struggles. I will listen genuinely without judgment and support you in overcoming trauma, adversity, tragedy, daily stress, and much more.

If you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, stress, or men’s emotional health, I’m here to help you get grounded, clear, and moving forward. I offer telehealth across Florida and in person sessions in Pace Fl (32571) and I’m currently accepting new clients.

I bring a unique perspective to therapy after spending 18 years as a law enforcement officer, working in high‐stress environments and walking with people through the hardest moments of their lives. Today, I use that experience—along with my formal clinical training—to support adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life.

Psychologist

Feeling "stuck" is one of the most frustrating human experiences, but it’s often the starting point for meaningful change. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, managing the weight of anxiety and depression, or simply feeling like you’ve lost your way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience. My career began in private practice in 2008, followed by years of dedicated service to active-duty military members and veterans. This background has given me a deep, specialized understanding of resilience, trauma, and the unique pressures faced by high-performing individuals.

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 Fort Walton Beach

Finding the right therapist in Fort Walton Beach starts with getting clear on what you're looking for. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, trauma, or something else, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of need can make a meaningful difference. Fort Walton Beach and the surrounding Emerald Coast community — including Niceville, Destin, Mary Esther, Crestview, and areas near Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Field — are home to providers trained in a range of approaches, from cognitive behavioral therapy to couples counseling.

Beyond specialty, consider the practical details that affect whether you'll stick with care: scheduling flexibility, whether a provider offers in-person or virtual sessions, and how their communication style feels to you. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their background and approach, so you can feel more confident going in.

Therapy in Fort Walton Beach can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options exist when you use in-network coverage. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before you book, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
