I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with an MSW from the University of Central Florida.
I have worked with individuals facing challenges including: PTSD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, autism, sexual trauma, and domestic violence. I have experience in settings from crisis shelters, in-home therapy, to private practice.
It is important to me that you feel comfortable and that I hold space for a healthy therapeutic bond, as this is one of the highest predictors of successful therapy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Florida
Finding the right therapist in Florida starts with getting clear on the type of support you need. Therapists across the state specialize in a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, trauma, and life transitions. Some focus on specific approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while others take a more integrative approach. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match before you commit.
With more than 22 million residents spread across cities like Miami, Tampa, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale, Florida has a large and diverse provider network. Many therapists offer both in-person and virtual sessions, which can be especially helpful if you live in a rural area or prefer the flexibility of meeting from home. When comparing providers, consider what matters most to you — specialty, session format, availability, and location.
Therapy in Florida can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session 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 a provider who fits both your clinical needs and your budget.
