I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who works with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and life transitions that may feel overwhelming or destabilizing.

There was a time when I felt trapped by anxiety, depression, and overwhelm. I spent years feeling like I was constantly reacting to the world around me—easily overwhelmed, shutting down, and unsure how to move forward. I was living in a hypervigiliant state - always on edge, feeling unsafe in relationships and in my aloneness. This was also followed with depressive states followed by shame and guilt. Working with a Practitioner in Somatic Experiencing has transformed my emotional well being by helping my brain and body recognize safety and reducing my sensitivity to unpleasant sensations and arousal. I now feel more in control, I welcome unpleasant bodily sensations when they show up, and feel more safe in my body.

My mission is to create a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and reconnect with your sense of purpose and peace.
Clients often describe my style as warm, honest, and empowering. I meet you where you are and walk with you as you develop the insight and tools needed to create lasting change. I believe that therapy should feel like a collaborative conversation — one that helps you understand your emotions, strengthen your coping skills, and move toward a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling.

Whether you're struggling to manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, or heal from past experiences, therapy can provide a space for growth, healing, and self-discovery.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Addiction Therapist in Tampa, FL
Finding addiction therapists in Tampa starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. Addiction care can include support for substance use, alcohol use, drug use, compulsive behaviors, cravings, relapse concerns, and co-occurring anxiety or depression. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and approaches that match what you want to work on, such as motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy for substance use, or harm reduction-informed care. Some people also work with a prescriber as part of their care team, so it may help to look for a therapist who can coordinate with other healthcare professionals when needed.
Tampa offers a broad mix of in-person and virtual therapy options, which gives you more ways to find a therapist for addiction recovery who fits your schedule and preferences. Local office access may matter if you prefer in-person sessions near home, work, or school, while virtual appointments can expand your options across the Tampa area. Beyond specialty, compare appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether a free phone consultation is offered. Reading therapist bios can also help you understand their communication style, experience with addiction recovery, and how they describe their work with people at different points in care.
Therapy in Tampa can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find addiction therapists, check estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, confirm your insurance coverage for your specific plan and area, and choose from therapists who are ready to see new patients. You can browse profiles, review specialties, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
