Hi! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) with a graduate degree from Wilkes University. I have experience working with adults in multiple settings facing various complex mental health issues, including Bipolar Disorder, trauma, depression, and anxiety.
One of the most empowering factors in my life has been spending 32 years as an Air Force Military Spouse. This empowered me to grow and learn through lived experiences in diverse groups. I’ve been a clinical social worker and prior substance abuse counselor for 30+ years working in a public agency, private practice, and with the US Army at Fort Carson, Colorado and at SHAPE, Belgium. I work across all ages to include both adults and children. In addition to my MSW in clinical social worker, I have an advanced graduate degree in Infant and Early Childhood Special Education Leadership and a doctorate degree in Curriculum and Diversity Studies.
I am a Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP-BC) licensed in both California and Florida. I work with children, adolescents, and adults across a wide range of mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, OCD, PTSD, sleep disorders, and substance use concerns.
I have a particular interest in supporting individuals with treatment-resistant depression and anxiety, autism spectrum disorder, panic symptoms, trauma-related conditions, and LGBTQ+ mental health. My approach is thoughtful, inclusive, and individualized—focused on helping each person find the treatment plan that works best for them.
I believe therapy works best when clients feel safe, supported, and genuinely understood. My approach is warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, and I strive to create a space where clients can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and experiences at their own pace.
I understand that reaching out for help can feel vulnerable, and I value the trust my clients place in me. I work to meet each person where they are while helping them build insight, coping skills, resilience, and confidence. I believe in balancing empathy and validation with practical tools and strategies that support meaningful and lasting change.
Clients often describe me as compassionate, approachable, calming, and easy to talk to. I utilize evidence-based approaches including CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care, while tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and goals.
Hello! I am known as the Happy Couples Expert and I smash trauma using EMDR and Biosound. When my clients walk through my door they are greeted with a warm smile and an empathetic ear. I have been through some similar struggles, whether it is Hashimotos, a car accident, or PTSD. I can relate to your story and am here to help you on your journey.

I am experienced in addressing eating disorders, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, ADHD, and trauma. I have assisted those with substance use challenges, and people simply ready to make some changes. I am a supportive, compassionate counselor and am ready to process your thoughts and feelings with you, to help you live the life you want to live.
If you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling with depression, carrying the weight of past trauma, or finding yourself stuck in relationship patterns that no longer serve you, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling emotionally exhausted, disconnected from themselves, or unsure how to move forward. Others are navigating grief, family challenges, relationship concerns, or major life transitions that leave them feeling disconnected from themselves.
As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I provide a warm, supportive space where you can openly explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences without fear of judgment. My goal is to help you better understand what's contributing to your current struggles, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, confidence, and meaningful change.

Symptoms of anxiety and depression can leave us feeling stuck and alone. They can stop us from enjoying day-to-day activities, living the life we want and may have a negative impact on our relationships. Thoughts and feelings related to anxiety and depression often make us feel like we aren't good enough, worried, afraid and stuck. We may experience physical symptoms of anxiety (pounding heart, difficulty breathing, etc.) that can leave us feeling terrified and wondering, "What is going on with me?". Constantly feeling tense, exhausted, stressed, worried and disconnected does not have to be your normal.
Imagine how it would feel to be free from anxiety and depression. I will teach you the brain science behind anxiety. You can become an expert in greatly reducing and managing symptoms of anxiety and depression. You will learn how to become a master in silencing that inner critic.


Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Finding the right OCD therapist in Tampa starts with understanding what type of care you need. Obsessive-compulsive disorder may be addressed with several evidence-informed approaches, and a licensed provider can help determine what type of care may be appropriate for your needs. Some people may also explore medication options with a qualified prescribing clinician, who can discuss whether that approach may be appropriate alongside or instead of therapy. If you're unsure where to start, look for a licensed provider — such as an LMHC, LCSW, psychologist, or psychiatrist — who has specific training and experience with OCD rather than a general mental health background.
With many providers practicing across Tampa, South Tampa, Brandon, and the wider Tampa Bay area, narrowing your options can feel like a lot. Consider what matters most: a provider's experience with your specific OCD symptoms, whether they offer virtual or in-person sessions, and how their schedule aligns with yours. Reading a provider's bio can give you a sense of their approach and help you decide if they're a good match before your first appointment.
Specialized OCD therapy in Tampa can be expensive without insurance. Using your in-network benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce what you pay per session. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated costs upfront — and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find an OCD specialist who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
