Life can feel overwhelming when stress, relationship challenges, difficult experiences, or emotional struggles begin affecting your ability to feel connected to yourself and the people around you. You may find yourself stuck in unhealthy patterns, struggling to communicate effectively, or carrying emotional burdens that continue to impact your daily life. Whether you are navigating challenges as an individual, within a relationship, or as part of a family system, therapy can provide a space to better understand what is happening and begin creating meaningful change.

I have been a social worker/therapist for 20+ years. I received my Masters degree at the University of Buffalo, in Upstate New York. I work with clients experiencing depression and anxiety. Together, we explore how thoughts influence feelings and how feelings shape behaviors. When patterns become unhelpful, they can interfere with relationships, work, and overall well-being. I help clients build insight and practical tools to create healthier, more empowering ways of responding to life's challenges.

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.
