LGBT therapists in Lutz, FL

I specialize in helping couples and adults navigate relationship challenges, cultural differences, and major life transitions. My work is especially focused on couples who feel disconnected, stuck in recurring conflict, or unsure how to rebuild trust and emotional closeness. As a Level 3 Gottman Method-trained therapist, I help partners understand their patterns, communicate more effectively, and create a stronger relationship. I also support individuals balancing career, family, cultural adjustment, and the demands of a new chapter.

Great to Meet you!!! I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to providing compassionate, patient centered care in a safe and supportive environment. I work collaboratively with each individual to understand their unique experiences, goals, and challenges.

I am the wife of a veteran, and mother of three. I have worked with children, families and couples for over 20 years in the mental health field. I believe in empowering others, providing hope, and allowing people to move at their own pace through listening to their experiences, and allowing tgem to decide what they want and where they want to move with each appointment. I have the ability to empathize in a way others can not because I have done my own therapy work, I understand in a way others do not when working with children because I have struggled with children in a way most people cannot understand if they have not lived it; this is a shared experience, a lived and challenging experience and for me , thankfully, this is a natural gift and one that I have that has only been enhanced by training and understanding of human development. Years of working with chiIdren and families, allows me to bring additional skills to the treatment room for both adults and children so everyone can meet their goals. Graduating from USC, and working in an agency that trained their staff well has allowed me to be trained in several ways to heal emotional wounds work with couples, work with the youngest children with PCIT , and use CPT to treat PTSD. Together we can work on anything from simple life issues, ADHD, moral injury, and I work specifically work with domestic violence survivors.

Connection is a basic human necessity. I am in a profession that provides others hope, healing, and growth, in their lives. There are no words to express how meaningful it is to see as someone moves through their healing process others and being a small part of helping others in their process, but it is why I do this "work". It is always an honor for me to be a part of this journey in any way.
