Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Vero Beach, FL

I am the wife of a veteran, and mother of three. I have been working with children, families and couples for over 20 years. I believe in empowering others and helping them find their own peace. I will work with you, meeting you where you are at, allowing you to work at your own pace. I have always had a calling to help and to heal using humor with a shared understanding of this thing, we call life, and the trials that come with it. I'm here to assist clients to understand that there is another side; and on that side there is hope. I graduated from USC, have been trained in several ways to do heal emotional wounds. Together we can work on anything from simple life issues, ADHD, all things to include extreme trauma(s) such as such as domestic violence. Behavioral issues between parent and child are also a specialty. One of the biggest rewards is watching clients achieve the goals that they set for themselves, and finally realizing that they were able to do what they never thought was possible.

I work with individuals and couples navigating a wide range of challenges, including depression, anxiety, and difficult life transitions. I have particular experience supporting individuals struggling to process grief and loss, or past trauma. My practice includes working with people coping with low self-esteem, substance use, infertility, postpartum mental health concerns, menopause, infidelity, and divorce. I also have specialized clinical experience working with those struggling with chronic illness and chronic pain, caregivers supporting loved ones with Dementia, and clients affected by family estrangement.

My clinical approach is grounded in inclusivity, respect, and social awareness. I am affirming of LGBTQI+ identities, supportive of immigrants, and committed to human rights. I actively work against racism and strive to create a space where all clients feel seen, and safe to explore their experiences.

Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face life’s challenges alone. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of experience, I work with children, teens, adults, and couples struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship concerns, stress, and life transitions. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard and understood. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop healthy coping skills, and create meaningful, lasting change so you can live a more balanced and fulfilling life.
