Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Lithia, FL covered by Aetna

I know that reaching out for support isn't always easy, so however you got here, I'm glad you did. I work with adults and couples navigating a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, ADHD, anger and impulse challenges, stress, and issues that arise specifically for women. A lot of the people I see are carrying more than they let on and are simply looking for a space where they can set it down for a while.

Something I care deeply about, both in my own life and in the work we do together, is balance. Life is full, and it's easy to lose track of the things that keep us steady: rest, connection, time for yourself, the people you love. Part of what I hope to help you find is a way of living that feels sustainable and true to what matters most to you.

I provide psychiatric evaluations and medication management while creating a supportive, respectful, and judgment-free environment. My goal is to help you better understand your symptoms, develop effective coping strategies, and work toward meaningful, lasting improvement in your mental well-being.

Hi there!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have an educational background of school counseling and as a teacher. I enjoy helping clients realize their potential while prioritizing their mental health. My counseling focus is with adolescents to adult-aged clients.

With five years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds navigating grief, loss, life transitions, and emotional challenges. Whether you are coping with the death of a loved one, divorce, health concerns, or unexpected changes in life, I strive to provide a compassionate and supportive space for healing and growth.

I specialize in PTSD, anxiety, depression, and support for gay, lesbian, and bisexual clients. For 16 years, I’ve helped people navigate crisis, chronic mental health concerns, and life transitions with care and clarity.

My experience includes inpatient psychiatry, corrections, community mental health, youth counseling, and hospital-based crisis care. I provide diagnostic assessments and therapy tailored to each person’s needs.

I’m committed to creating a supportive, goal-focused space where you can feel heard and understood. If you’re ready to begin healing and move forward, I’d be honored to work with you.

I believe the foundation of meaningful therapy is a strong, genuine relationship. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe enough to be honest, challenged enough to grow, and supported every step of the way. I strive to balance compassion with practical, evidence-based strategies so that therapy not only feels validating but also leads to real, lasting change.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, educator, and clinical leader, I bring experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, neurodivergence, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional overwhelm. I tailor therapy to each individual, drawing from approaches such as EMDR, CBT, ACT, attachment-based therapy, Gottman Method, and neurodivergent-affirming care. My hope is that you'll leave each session with greater insight, practical tools, and the confidence that meaningful change is possible.

I provide a comfortable and supportive environment in which we explore stressors, thought patterns and feelings that may be contributing to your challenges. Through a strong therapeutic relationship based on respect and empowerment, we will work together to resolve the challenges you are facing and to develop goals deemed most useful in moving you forward to a positive outcome.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who has been practicing since 2015. I have a Master of Science in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Florida International University. I have an extensive background in inpatient and outpatient Substance Use and Mental Health treatment which allowed me to see firsthand the power of therapy in transforming lives.

I've spent the last 14 years walking alongside people through some of the tender, complicated seasons of life, like navigating depression and anxiety, managing overwhelming stress, working through relationship struggles, and supporting women through the physical and emotional shifts of pregnancy, postpartum, and infertility. I care deeply about the people I work with, and I bring warmth, honesty, and a genuine curiosity about who you are to every session. When I'm not in the therapy room, you'll usually find me outside moving my body, and soaking up whatever sunshine I can find.

Are you feeling worried, depressed, or just feeling lonely, lost, exhausted, and tired of the everyday routine and desiring more in life? As humans big or small, we all go through challenging times, we all experience sadness, worry, and stress. However, there are times that we might feel too stuck, too lost, and too overwhelmed to do anything. Life doesn’t have to stay this way. I can help you turn things around and move toward living your absolute best life ever!

I have worked with diverse populations in a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric stabilization, homeless prevention, and integrated healthcare. These experiences have allowed me to develop an eclectic skill-set with a person-centered approach. I love being a social worker and having the privilege of helping others heal and grow.
