Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Estero, FL

I have a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University. I’ve been at Wekiva Springs Center since 2022, and have experience with patients all over the spectrum from mood disorders, to substance abuse disorders, anxiety, PTSD, and psychotic disorders.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Connecticut. I am a dedicated therapist with experience delivering client-centered care to individuals from diverse backgrounds. My clinical style integrates evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Person-Centered Therapy. I shape my approach to each client’s needs, tailoring therapy to support them in the ways that are most helpful and relevant to their unique situation. My role as your therapist is to help you deepen your self-understanding, identify and build upon your strengths, and develop effective tools for managing life’s challenges and the discomfort that can accompany them.

Feeling "stuck" is one of the most frustrating human experiences, but it’s often the starting point for meaningful change. Whether you are navigating a major life transition, managing the weight of anxiety and depression, or simply feeling like you’ve lost your way, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with over 17 years of experience. My career began in private practice in 2008, followed by years of dedicated service to active-duty military members and veterans. This background has given me a deep, specialized understanding of resilience, trauma, and the unique pressures faced by high-performing individuals.

Whether this is your first time experience with therapy or you’re returning after some time away, my goal is to provide a warm, welcoming, and judgment-free space where you feel comfortable being yourself and sharing your story at your own pace. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over a decade of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, stress, relationship concerns, life transitions, and other emotional challenges.

I specialize in PTSD, anxiety, depression, and support for gay, lesbian, and bisexual clients. For 16 years, I’ve helped people navigate crisis, chronic mental health concerns, and life transitions with care and clarity.

My experience includes inpatient psychiatry, corrections, community mental health, youth counseling, and hospital-based crisis care. I provide diagnostic assessments and therapy tailored to each person’s needs.

I’m committed to creating a supportive, goal-focused space where you can feel heard and understood. If you’re ready to begin healing and move forward, I’d be honored to work with you.
