If you’re dealing with anxiety, trauma, PTSD, depression, stress, or men’s emotional health, I’m here to help you get grounded, clear, and moving forward. I offer telehealth across Florida and in person sessions in Pace Fl (32571) and I’m currently accepting new clients.

I bring a unique perspective to therapy after spending 18 years as a law enforcement officer, working in high‐stress environments and walking with people through the hardest moments of their lives. Today, I use that experience—along with my formal clinical training—to support adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or worn down by life.

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Pensacola, FL


I specialize in working with adults experiencing a variety of anxiety disorders, including panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and phobias, as well as adults with ADHD. I also support clients who have difficulty regulating emotions and navigating the impact these patterns can have on relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in exhausting cycles of fear, reassurance-seeking, self-doubt, and overstimulation. You may feel like you know better, but anxiety continues to run the show. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, safe, and able to show up exactly as you are.

All of us have felt overwhelmed, sad, anxious, or stressed. You may feel like the past is constantly intruding on your present. You might feel hyper-vigilant, struggle with nightmares, or find it difficult to trust others. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, but it’s the best investment you can make when you prioritize yourself and your well-being. My approach is warm, collaborative, and non-judgmental. I don't just sit and listen; I actively work with you to attain your goals. My goal is to create a secure, non-judgmental space where you feel truly seen and heard, and to help you move from simply surviving to truly thriving
