Hello and welcome. I believe that healing happens through a connection of mind, body and spirit. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change. Drawing from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building practical tools for growth and resilience. I believe in the strength of the human spirit and having the ability to reframe core belief's. Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
My experience includes mental health treatment, substance use treatment, eating disorder treatment, intensive family therapy, and grief work. I view each person within the context of their relationships, environment, and life experiences, and tailor treatment to meet their unique needs.
I grew up in South Florida where I developed a lifelong love for dance. I went to college at Florida State University, and it was there, I developed my passion and love for volunteering, working with youth, and developing people. While in graduate school, I focused on eating disorders as a treatment specialty, specifically higher levels of care (residential and partial hospitalization programming). Since 2017, I’ve worked as a therapist in different age groups. Starting with young children and moving on to being a therapist for a middle and high school. In 2022, I was able to return to my first passion in therapy and I started with The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders. I’ve worked as a primary therapist, a team leader, and a site director with the company’s residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. I am now opening up some of my time on the side to venture into the private practice world and return to the direct work I fell in love with years ago.
I believe that the client will take the lead in sharing what brings themt to therapy, that we have open discussions and will work together to empower the client to find ways to manage their struggles or concerns

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Melbourne
Searching for therapists in Melbourne starts with knowing what kind of care fits your needs. Therapists may support concerns like anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, and life transitions. As you compare options, look for a therapist whose listed specialties match what you want to focus on. Bios can also show whether a therapist uses approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples therapy.
Melbourne is a smaller coastal city, so local in-person availability may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your options while still letting you work with a therapist licensed in Florida. When narrowing your search, consider appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether a free phone consultation is available. Reading profiles before you book can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, experience, and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Melbourne can be a significant cost without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before your first visit. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, see estimated out-of-pocket costs, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
