I grew up in central Florida and earned my Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University, followed by a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. During graduate school, I gained experience working in a treatment facility and with college students at USF, advocating for children’s educational needs while they balanced mental health treatment. This exposure led to my interest in behavior-focused therapy, particularly in using exposure techniques.

I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, Tourette's, and disordered eating.

I believe therapy should feel safe, supportive, and centered on you. I know it’s not one particular model of therapy that makes the difference, but the relationship we build together. My role is to walk alongside you, creating a space where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.

Every person’s journey is unique, and I will work with you to find the path that feels right for you—one that builds on your strengths and helps you move toward healing and resilience.

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Clearwater

Searching for therapists in Clearwater starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist may fit your needs. People often look for Clearwater therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, therapy styles, and experience that match what you want to address. A therapist’s bio can also show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or strength-based therapy.

In a smaller city like Clearwater, local appointment options may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and specialty. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider whether you prefer in-person sessions near Clearwater, virtual appointments from home, evening or weekend availability, or a therapist who offers a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand each therapist’s communication style, session structure, and approach to care.

Therapy in Clearwater can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to search for therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed bios, add your insurance information, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. From there, you can compare therapists, choose someone who matches your needs, and book directly when you’re ready.
