Book a therapist or psychiatrist in Pensacola, FL covered by Aetna

Hi there! I am dual licensed in Florida as a Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Marriage & Family Therapist (LMFT). I received my Masters from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida and have been practicing for 13 years. I tend to work with older adolescents and adults in living more authentic lives and being the best version of themselves. I am compassionate, but also honest and direct. I guarantee I will challenge you, but you will feel and know that it comes from a place of genuine care and a desire for you to live your best, most fulfilled, and healthiest life.

Having been on the other side of therapy, I understand the vulnerability and courage it takes to engage honestly and authentically in therapy to find the best version of yourself and create a better future. I strive to make therapy a safe place for you to express, experiment, feel and learn so you can find and love your true self. That is a large part of the reason I will be genuine, I will be compassionate, but I will also give tough love and complete honesty to help you reach your goals.

I enjoy working with individuals who are curious, open, and motivated for change; individuals who are willing to look deep within and challenge themselves. My clients are eager to elevate and align with their true potential and purpose, but may have blind spots with repeating patterns that no longer serve them. They often seek out fulfilling lives and relationships with others, but may lack insight in the challenges restricting them from reaching their full potential.

I work with adolescents and adults navigating eating disorders, trauma, anxiety, depression, OCD, body image concerns, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship challenges. My approach is evidence-based and individualized. Rather than relying on a single therapy model, I draw from EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and attachment-informed interventions to create a treatment plan that fits your unique needs and goals.

My professional experience extends beyond my years as an independently licensed clinician. Throughout my career, I have worked in community mental health and specialized eating disorder treatment across the full continuum of care, including residential treatment, partial hospitalization (PHP), intensive outpatient (IOP), and outpatient therapy. This breadth of experience allows me to support clients with complex needs at every stage of recovery.
