I have been an LCSW for over 15 years, and anxiety is where I do my deepest work..the racing thoughts, the physical tension, the constant "what if" that won't quiet down. I also work with clients navigating depression, major life changes, grief and divorce. But if anxiety is running the show in your life, that is exactly where I want to start.
A proud University of Central Florida graduate with a Master of Social Work, I have had a professional focus in various fields, including, child welfare, community mental health, the school system and intensive outpatient therapy. Much of this work has been centered on empowering youth, adults and families from diverse backgrounds and abilities. I currently work with children and adults navigating trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and life transitions.
I offer a compassionate and supportive space where you can openly process difficult emotions and life transitions. I specialize in grief and loss, and also help clients manage anxiety, depression, stress, and challenges related to aging, caregiving, and end-of-life concerns. My approach is warm, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to help you feel understood, build resilience, and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence.
Facing life transitions, career challenges, retirement, relationship issues? Coping with getting older? Health problems?
I was in corporate America and Hollywood for 35 years. I'm a happy dad and grandfather, and a cancer survivor with an autoimmune disorder.
I get it. Life can be a struggle or a joy. I went to grad school at age 55 to learn how to help people like us live the life we want.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Fort Myers
Searching for therapists in Fort Myers starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want help with. Fort Myers therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties, therapy style, and background align with your needs. Their bio can help you understand how they work, what kinds of concerns they often support, and what you can expect in a first session.
In a smaller city like Fort Myers, local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Expanding your search to include virtual sessions can give you more options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, therapy approach, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before you book can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and session structure.
Therapy in Fort Myers can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your expected out-of-pocket cost before you book. Headway helps you find therapists who match your preferences, accept a wide range of insurance plans, and offer in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists, review bios, check estimated costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
