Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Bradenton, FL

You don't have to have it all figured out to start. There is no right or wrong place to begin.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I'm also a Certified School Counselor — which means I've spent decades not just in therapy offices, but inside schools, alongside kids and families navigating the real, daily pressures of growing up, parenting, and finding your way.

That breadth of experience shapes everything about how I work. I understand what it looks like when anxiety shows up in a classroom, when ADHD affects a family's daily life, or when an eating disorder hides behind achievement. And I know how to create a space where children, teens, and adults alike feel safe enough to actually open up.

My aim is to first help clients feel heard, understood, and supported in their goals. Then, I aim to provide evidence based interventions to equip them with the tools necessary to help them feel stronger, and empowered to face life's challenges.

When we feel othered, alone, or hopeless — it's hard to ask for help. Talking to a therapist can help you feel like yourself again. I help my clients discover the root of their concerns through storytelling, reflecting on their values and desires, and understanding in what ways they’ve adapted to being in the world.

Success in therapy starts with a strong partnership. I focus on building a solid therapeutic alliance—a collaborative bond rooted in mutual agreement on your treatment goals. By working as a team, we create a clear, evidence-based roadmap for meaningful change.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. My goal is to help you feel more fulfilled, empowered, and at peace in your daily life. I work with clients using practical, evidence-based, and solution-focused methods to support personal growth and healing. I also offer Christian Counseling for those who want to incorporate their faith into the therapy process.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, overcome obstacles, and develop a stronger sense of identity.

As a lifelong Missouri resident and educator, I am very familiar with the specifics that come with living in this area.

This is a telehealth practice. As a personal choice, the use of narcotics or other controlled (DEA) meds are minimal, if any. I've been a psych nurse practitioner for at least 14yrs. I believe in managing conditions with psychiatric and non-psychiatric treatment modalities that are evidence based. The use of the least amount of meds, at lower doses that does the healing of symptoms, is an active process involving the client and based on the reported experiences. Safety is the core of my practice and my job is to help clients understand internal signals and how to prevent another crisis.

I work with adults and older adults experiencing Anxiety, Depression, ADHD, Bipolar Spectrum Disorders, Panic Disorders, Adjustment Disorders, and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder.
