Life’s messy. Therapy doesn’t have to be.

Hi, I’m a licensed therapist in Florida who helps young and older adults navigate the beautiful chaos of life, career burnout, identity shifts, anxiety spirals, and those “what am I even doing?” moments. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just ready to feel more like you again, I’m here to help you reconnect with your strength, purpose, and self-love.

As a Christian therapist, I offer a faith-affirming space for those who want to integrate spiritual values into their healing journey. Whether you’re seeking biblically grounded support or simply want your faith to be respected in the therapeutic process, I’m here to meet you where you are, with grace, compassion, and clinical expertise.

My approach is warm, direct, and refreshingly real. I specialize in supporting folks through depression, anxiety, burnout, and self-esteem challenges, including those with co-occurring conditions and neurodivergent experiences. I’ve worked with clients on the autism spectrum and pride myself on creating affirming spaces where your voice is heard and your journey is honored.

Therapy with me is a collaborative process rooted in evidence-based techniques, honest dialogue, and a deep respect for your lived experience. Whether you're exploring personal growth, healing from emotional wounds, or simply trying to make sense of life’s transitions, I’ll walk beside you with empathy, insight, and a dash of humor when needed.

You don’t have to do this alone. Let’s build something meaningful, together.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
