I specialize in mood disorders (including depression and bipolar disorder), anxiety (generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety), and trauma-related conditions including PTSD. I am deeply committed to breaking the stigma surrounding mental health — and I understand firsthand how shame and silence can stand in the way of healing and daily functioning. Outside of work, I'm a parent who enjoys going to the pool and playing board games with my children, which keeps me grounded in the everyday joys that matter most.

You may have learned to navigate spaces where parts of you didn’t feel fully seen or accepted. Over time, those experiences can shape how you see yourself.

What is the story you tell yourself? What messages have you taken in from others—and from the world around you? How have those shaped the way you see yourself?

For many people, these stories are formed in spaces where parts of them felt unseen, misunderstood, or not fully accepted. Over time, this can lead to cycles of self-doubt, shame, or feeling like you have to keep proving your worth.

You might feel misunderstood, overwhelmed by mood changes, or unsure how to navigate relationships in a way that feels natural or fulfilling. Whether you’re dealing with depression, bipolar patterns, or feeling “different” in social or emotional spaces, it can be exhausting trying to figure it out on your own.

I work with adults, including neurodivergent individuals, who want to better understand themselves, improve relationships, and feel more steady and connected in their daily lives. My goal is to create a space where you feel respected, supported, and able to be fully yourself.

Happy patient looking away

Find an expert who truly understands maternal mental health

Headway helps you find expert-guided support for every stage of motherhood — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Lakeland

Finding the right therapist for postpartum care in Lakeland starts with identifying a licensed provider who has experience with perinatal mental health. Postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety are among the most common complications of pregnancy, and working with a provider who understands these conditions can make a meaningful difference. Look for a therapist or psychiatrist with experience in evidence-informed approaches for postpartum mental health, and ask a qualified provider which type of care may be appropriate for your needs. Psychiatrists and psychiatric nurse practitioners can also discuss general treatment options alongside talk therapy and help you decide on next steps.

Lakeland and the surrounding Polk County area have a range of mental health providers, but narrowing your options can be time-consuming as a new parent. Consider what matters most to you — whether that's a provider who offers virtual sessions, someone with a specific therapeutic approach, or a provider close to your neighborhood. Reading a provider's bio before booking can help you understand their style and decide if they're a good match.

Therapy in Lakeland can be expensive out of pocket, but using your in-network insurance benefits is one of the most reliable ways to reduce costs. On Headway, you can enter your insurance details to see estimated session costs before your first appointment, and many patients pay as low as $0 per visit. Nationally, Headway partners with over 100 insurance plans, making it easier to find a postpartum therapist who is both the right clinical fit and covered by your plan.
