Private‐pay welcome; superbills provided.

Using Emotion‐Focused, systems, and skills‐based methods, I create evidence‐informed plans for executives, couples, blended and traditional families, and individuals.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who shows up with warmth, curiosity, and zero judgment. Think of me as the therapist who feels human, someone who listens deeply, honors your story, and helps you make sense of patterns that no longer serve you. As a Caribbean-American woman, I also understand the unspoken cultural layers that often shape how we cope, communicate, and carry our experiences. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, safe, and empowered to grow at your own pace.

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 Gainesville

Finding the right therapist in Gainesville starts with getting clear on what you need. Whether you're looking for support with anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, or relationship concerns, choosing a licensed provider who specializes in your area of focus can make a meaningful difference. Gainesville is home to providers trained in a range of approaches — from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to couples counseling and family therapy. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Practical factors matter, too. Consider whether you prefer in-person sessions in Gainesville or virtual appointments, and look for a provider whose availability fits your schedule. If you're a University of Florida student or employee, check whether your plan covers mental health care through a specific network. A free phone consultation — offered by many providers on Headway — lets you ask questions and get a sense of the provider before committing to a full session.

Therapy in Gainesville 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 upfront, and your out-of-pocket expense may be as low as $0 per session. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
