As a licensed clinical social worker, I've spent my career working alongside people

who've often felt unseen, underserved, or unsupported by the systems meant to help

them. I specialize in working with adolescents and adults in marginalized communities

navigating identity, mental health, relationships, and trauma. My approach is

grounded in genuine curiosity about who you are, not just what brings you in. You'll

find a space built on empathy and empowerment, where you can show up exactly as

you are. I'd love to connect.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I utilize the person in environment mindset. You are so much more than your current circumstances. Life experiences, family, friends, and environment impact you as a whole person. Feeling anxious, trouble sleeping, relationship strains, and difficulty stepping into a new transition in your life can be overwhelming. I like to use the solutions-focused framework to help you utilize the tools that you already have in new ways.

I also hold an endorsement as a Certified Clinical Transplant Social Worker. This means that I have undergone additional training and experience working with the unique needs of medically complex transplant patients and their families. I aim to help clients through life transitions, anxiety, and women's health.

Happy patient looking away

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 Estero

Searching for therapists in Estero starts with understanding what kind of support fits your needs. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match what you want to focus on. A therapist’s profile can help you understand their approach, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, or support for couples and families.

Estero is a smaller community, so local in-person therapy options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Bonita Springs or Fort Myers. Virtual therapy can expand your options while keeping care tied to therapists licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, scheduling flexibility, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can show how a therapist describes their style, session structure, and areas of focus.

Therapy in Estero can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated cost before you book. Headway makes it easier to compare therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, review profiles, and book directly when you’re ready.

1 Cost may vary based on your location, age, and insurance coverage.
