I want to help you help yourself. I believe everyone is capable of change and I will teach you skills to use everyday.
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.

I believe that the strength and confidence you’re looking for already exist within you. My role is to help you uncover those strengths and build the tools needed to manage life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence. I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to grow.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Myers
Finding a postpartum therapist in Fort Myers starts with identifying what kind of support you need. Postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, and other perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs) are common — and providers who specialize in maternal mental health can make a meaningful difference. Look for a licensed therapist or psychiatrist with experience in perinatal care, and consider whether you prefer virtual sessions (often easier to fit around a newborn's schedule) or in-person appointments in the Fort Myers or broader Lee County area.
When comparing providers, pay attention to their specific training and approach. Some providers hold a Perinatal Mental Health Certification (PMH-C), while others may specialize in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), interpersonal therapy, or trauma-focused approaches — all of which are commonly used to address postpartum concerns. Reading a provider's bio can help you understand their style and decide if they feel like a good match before you book.
