Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life transitions begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and ability to enjoy everyday life. You may feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or uncertain about how to move forward. You don't have to carry those struggles alone, and meaningful change is possible. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, cultural and ethnic issues, women's issues, and trauma so they can build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of balance and emotional wellbeing. Working with adolescents and adults in both English and Spanish, I strive to create a welcoming, culturally responsive environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.

Hi there!
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have an educational background of school counseling and as a teacher. I enjoy helping clients realize their potential while prioritizing their mental health. My counseling focus is with adolescents to adult-aged clients.
Hi and welcome! Reaching out for help can be one of the hardest first steps, so I'm glad you're here. I am a licensed mental health therapist who works with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, OCD, relationship concerns, and attachment wounds. I also have many years of experience working with people struggling with substance use.
If you are caring for someone with a serious illness, raising a child with complex needs, or running on empty after years of putting everyone else first — this is the right place.
You already know how to show up for the people you love. What's harder is asking for something for yourself. Many of my clients waited longer than they should have before reaching out, because they felt guilty, or because they convinced themselves they could handle it alone. If that sounds familiar, I want you to know: getting support isn't a sign that you're struggling. It's a sign that you're paying attention.
I am a Doctorally prepared Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals and families through some of life's most demanding chapters — serious illness, end-of-life care, caregiving, grief, and the particular kind of burnout that comes from loving someone with complex needs. My hospice and palliative care background has shaped the way I work: with deep respect for what people are carrying, and a focus on dignity, whole-person care, and what actually helps in real life.
I am also a parent of a child with Down syndrome. I know what it means to receive a diagnosis that reshapes your family's future. I've navigated IEP meetings, medical appointments, the emotional complexity of caregiving, and the way people who love you still don't quite understand. That lived experience is not separate from my clinical work — it's at the center of it. When you sit across from me, you won't have to explain yourself from the beginning. www.anchorfamilybh.com

She is deeply committed to creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where each person feels heard, respected, and supported. Her work is rooted in compassion, consistency, and a genuine desire to help clients move toward greater balance and well-being.
If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone. I'm a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) with over 16 years of experience across private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and the non-profit world. I've sat with people in their hardest, most overwhelming moments, and I bring that same steady, non-judgmental presence to every session.
Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Fort Myers
Finding OCD therapists in Fort Myers starts with looking for the right training and approach. Obsessive-compulsive disorder can involve intrusive thoughts, contamination fears, checking behaviors, rumination, or repeated rituals. Exposure and response prevention, often called ERP, is one therapy approach some clinicians use when supporting people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, read their bios for direct mentions of OCD experience, ERP, cognitive behavioral therapy, and related concerns like anxiety or trauma.
Fort Myers has a smaller local therapist market than larger Florida cities, so virtual therapy can expand your options while still keeping care easy to schedule. Some people prefer an in-person office nearby, while others choose virtual sessions for more flexibility around work, school, or caregiving. When narrowing your search, look at whether a therapist is accepting new patients, has appointment times that fit your calendar, and offers a free phone consultation. A therapist who lists OCD as a specialty may have general experience, while one who names ERP training gives you a clearer signal about their approach.
Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower your session cost and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for Fort Myers therapists who focus on OCD, view virtual and in-person availability, check estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
