I grew up in central Florida and earned my Bachelor of Science in Family and Child Sciences from Florida State University, followed by a Master of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from the University of South Florida. During graduate school, I gained experience working in a treatment facility and with college students at USF, advocating for children’s educational needs while they balanced mental health treatment. This exposure led to my interest in behavior-focused therapy, particularly in using exposure techniques.

I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults dealing with obsessive-compulsive disorder, anxiety disorders, depression, Tourette's, and disordered eating.

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 a Therapist in Lithia

Searching for therapists in Lithia starts with finding someone whose experience fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, trauma, or life transitions. As you compare options, look for training, specialties, and approaches that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can help you understand whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or other methods that may fit what you are looking for.

In a smaller community like Lithia, local appointment options may be more limited than in nearby areas like Valrico, Brandon, or Plant City. Virtual therapy can expand your search while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. It also helps to compare practical details like appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before booking can show how a therapist describes their style, what sessions may look like, and who they most often support.

Therapy in Lithia can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, review estimated costs after adding your insurance details, and book directly when you are ready. Every therapist listed is accepting new patients, making it easier to find someone who fits your needs, schedule, and coverage.
