Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm so glad you're here.
I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a master's degree from Capella University, and I've had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life's most challenging moments — from anxiety and depression to relationship struggles, big life transitions, parenting pressures, and career uncertainty.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques — not because one size fits all, but because you deserve support that actually fits your life. Together, we'll work to build insight, strengthen your resilience, and create real, lasting change.
I work with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and LGBTQ+ clients, and I bring genuine care and an open heart to every session. No matter what brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
We're all a work in progress — and that's a beautiful thing. I'm here to help you move forward, at your own pace, in your own way.
Trust the process. I'll be with you every step of the way.

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 Panama City
Searching for therapists in Panama City starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want help with. You may be looking for support with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, stress, or a life transition. As you compare therapists, look at the specialties listed in their profiles and how they describe their approach. Some therapists focus on cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or other methods that may fit your goals.
In a smaller market like Panama City, local appointment options may be more limited than in larger Florida cities. Virtual sessions can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before you book can help you understand a therapist’s communication style, session structure, and experience with concerns like yours.
Therapy in Panama City can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, see estimated out-of-pocket costs before booking, and choose between virtual and in-person care when available. You can review profiles, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
