Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Panama City, FL

With over 10 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve supported individuals through some of the most challenging moments in their lives—including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work through what’s going on and begin finding a path forward that feels realistic and manageable.

My background in healthcare settings has given me experience working with both mental health and medical challenges, allowing me to take a more holistic view of what you’re going through.

Hi! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and other emotional challenges in a supportive, nonjudgmental space. I use evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs and am trained in both EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) to help clients process and heal from traumatic experiences. My goal is to help you gain practical tools, build resilience, and create meaningful, lasting change. For clients who desire it, I also offer Christian counseling that thoughtfully integrates faith into the therapy process.

I have a passion for supporting individuals by encouraging changes, healing, and empowerment. I have had the wonderful opportunity to practice as a mental health therapist as well as share my expertise to deliver educational services in Palm Beach County for the last 8+ years. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from South University and I currently hold a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I am currently completing an EdD with an emphasis in Behavioral Health at Grand Canyon University.

I have experience working with children and families, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups. I have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, and co-occurring disorders. I have also worked with clients dealing with single parenthood, partner relational conflict, childhood and generational trauma, grief, and loss issues. I specialize in child-parent/family issues and domestic abuse (intimate partner violence).
