Therapist

There is something different about talking to someone who actually understands your world. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, life transitions, and challenges with identity and how they see themselves, and I offer sessions in both English and Haitian Creole. I bring particular care to clients from Haitian and Caribbean backgrounds and to women navigating the emotional weight of motherhood, loss, and everything in between. With more than 15 years of experience, I have seen what becomes possible when people feel genuinely seen and free to show up exactly as they are.

I’ve been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in California since 1995 and in Florida since 2001, with decades of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups. In addition to my clinical work, I’ve served as a motivational trainer, consultant, and adjunct faculty member at over 20 universities, community colleges, hospitals, and medical centers.

I enjoy working with people from all walks of life and have experience supporting clients through relationship issues, life transitions, personal growth, and emotional healing. I also facilitate seminars, workshops, and small groups, where I create a supportive space for learning, connection, and growth. My goal is to help you feel understood, empowered, and equipped to move forward with confidence.

Happy patient looking away

Find the right therapist for you

Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing an Anxiety Therapist in Gainesville, FL

Searching for therapists in Gainesville starts with knowing what kind of support you want and which therapist background fits your needs. Gainesville therapists may list experience with concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for therapists whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match what you want to focus on. Bios can also help you understand how a therapist works, what sessions may feel like, and whether their approach fits your preferences.

In a smaller city like Gainesville, local in-person therapy options may be more limited by neighborhood, schedule, and availability. Virtual therapy can expand your search across Florida while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in the state. When narrowing your options, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, session structure, and areas of focus in one place.

Therapy in Gainesville can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose from in-person or virtual appointments. You can browse therapists in Gainesville, review bios, and book directly when you’re ready.
