I’m a cis-gender heterosexual female. My husband and I have a high school aged son. I’m originally from St. Louis, MO but I have lived in Florida for a combined 36 years because I love living in paradise. One of the things I enjoy about virtual work is seeing my clients’ pets too.
I was a non-traditional student and got my bachelor's degree at 29 and my master's degree at 32. The life skills I gained as I worked my way through school have been helpful throughout my career. For some people, the age of their therapist is important. I am 49 years old.
Some of my helpful qualities include being non-judgmental. I have talked to people of all kinds, many ages with all kinds of histories and all kinds of present lives. There really isn't a topic you can't discuss with me, I have never felt a client gave me "TMI" or too much information. You are guaranteed privacy and confidentiality. You can get judgment for free anywhere else. I believe everyone is doing the best they can with what they know.
I am often told after first sessions that I'm easy to talk to and those clients feel better just having gotten some things off their chest.
I have treated children and teens throughout my career beginning at my first job in foster care.since beginning in I graduated from my masters degree. I have also treated adults with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, PTSD, sexual dysfunction, porn addiction, people in the LGBTQ community & people in alternative lifestyles.
I also treated patients in hospice as well as other medical settings. I treat people with chronic illnesses and occasionally I treat people with life limiting illnesses.
Here at Headway I will treat anyone who is 10 or older because I believe they are best suited for virtual therapy. I'm open to appeals about this policy.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA Therapist in Fort Myers, FL
Searching for LGBTQIA+ therapists in Fort Myers starts with finding care that is identity-affirming. A good fit may have experience with affirmative therapy, gender-diverse care, WPATH-informed training, or working with LGBTQIA+ communities. You may also want support with anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, identity, trauma, or life changes. Review each therapist’s listed specialties, approach, and bio to see whether their experience matches what you want to discuss in therapy.
Fort Myers is a smaller market, so local LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists may be more limited than in larger Florida cities. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you use location, availability, and insurance filters to find a practical fit. You can also look for therapists who clearly mention LGBTQIA+ populations in their profiles, offer a free phone consultation, or share details about their communication style and therapy approach.
Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients, match your preferences, and accept a wide range of insurance plans, so you can review bios, compare options, and book directly when you’re ready.
