I'm a vibrant Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner who shares her light with patients to impact-fully guide them on their journey. I am Board certified in the state of Florida and interested in seeking licensure in other states,
Hi, it's nice to meet you! I'm Mode, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over a decade of experience in the mental health field. I have a deep passion for supporting children, teens, and young adults navigating ADHD, depression, and anxiety, as well as helping adults of all ages find healthier ways to manage stress and reclaim a sense of balance.
Outside of work, I love to travel and spend time at the beach, experiences that remind me daily of the power of slowing down and being present.
With over 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families, I specialize in supporting people navigating LGBTQ+ identity, relationships, and the coming out process. Whether you're stepping into your identity for the first time, rebuilding after a difficult transition, or managing the stress and relationship challenges that come with trying to balance everything, you deserve a therapist who truly gets it. I bring warmth, directness, and a genuine investment in helping you feel more like yourself.
I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.
You don't have to have it all figured out to start. There is no right or wrong place to begin.
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I'm also a Certified School Counselor — which means I've spent decades not just in therapy offices, but inside schools, alongside kids and families navigating the real, daily pressures of growing up, parenting, and finding your way.
That breadth of experience shapes everything about how I work. I understand what it looks like when anxiety shows up in a classroom, when ADHD affects a family's daily life, or when an eating disorder hides behind achievement. And I know how to create a space where children, teens, and adults alike feel safe enough to actually open up.











Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right therapist in Lithia starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Whether you're looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, family stress, or something else, a licensed provider with experience in that area can make a meaningful difference. Therapists in the Lithia area hold a range of credentials — including LMHC, LCSW, LMFT, and psychologist — and many offer both in-person sessions in nearby Brandon or Valrico and virtual appointments from anywhere in Florida.
Once you know what you're looking for, practical details matter just as much. Consider whether you prefer meeting in person or virtually, what days and times work for your schedule, and whether a provider's approach feels like the right fit. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and specialties so you feel more confident from the start.
Therapy in the greater Tampa Bay area can be expensive without insurance, but affordable options are available 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 in Lithia who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
