I work with adults who are tired of surviving everything alone. A lot of the people I support are used to being “the strong one” — carrying anxiety, emotional overwhelm, difficult relationships, self-doubt, burnout, or years of unspoken pressure while still showing up for everyone else.
As a Black woman, I understand how life experiences, identity, culture, and the spaces we move through can shape the way we see ourselves and navigate the world. Therapy with me is not about judging or “fixing” you — it’s about creating space for you to breathe, unpack what’s been weighing on you, and reconnect with yourself in a way that feels honest, grounded, and real.

I’ve spent much of my life on and around the water, which has taught me that both the ocean and life can shift quickly from calm to unpredictable. Those experiences shape my approach to therapy: learning not to fight the current, but to move through it with awareness and resilience. I offer a grounded and compassionate space where you can slow down, reflect, and explore the parts of life that feel heavy or stuck, while feeling both supported and gently challenged. Our work together is collaborative and rooted in curiosity, honesty, and deep respect for your story. Alongside my clinical training and two master’s degrees, my years living and working throughout Southeast Asia have given me experience supporting people from diverse cultural, spiritual, and relational backgrounds.

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.
