Addiction therapists & psychiatrists in Pinellas Park, FL

With over 20 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I bring a warm, welcoming, and down-to-earth approach to therapy. I’m outgoing and easy to talk to, yet also introspective, which helps us explore deeper emotions and patterns in a way that feels natural and supportive. I specialize in substance use disorders as well as mental health conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder, and I blend empathy with practical, evidence-based tools to help clients feel understood and empowered. My goal is to create a safe space where you can grow, heal, and move toward meaningful, lasting change at your own pace.

Therapy is more than just talking, it is about taking concrete steps toward a more fulfilling life. My work is rooted in self exploration, helping you look inward to better understand, appreciate, and connect with who you truly are. Together, we begin to uncover the patterns, emotions, and experiences that have shaped you. As you make sense of your story with support, new possibilities for growth, choice, and change can start to feel more real and within reach.

Psychiatry was not a specialty I happened to find along the way. From the time I entered college, I knew that mental health and substance use treatment were where I wanted my career to lead. I bring a decade of nursing experience to my practice, including critical care and extensive experience in psychiatric emergency and substance use settings. Much of my career has been spent working with people at some of the most difficult, vulnerable, and complicated points in their lives.

That experience has taught me that there is usually much more to a person’s story than what appears in a medical chart. Trauma, relationships, environment, setbacks, resilience, and the paths we take through life all matter. I believe good psychiatric care starts with understanding that story, and not judging it.

I work with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, mood disorders, substance use disorders, trauma-related concerns, and other mental health challenges. You can expect me to be straightforward, open-minded, and willing to listen. My goal is for you to feel comfortable being honest about where you are and what you’ve been through, without worrying that your past will define how you are treated.

Making the decision to seek mental health or substance use treatment can be one of the most difficult steps a person takes. I understand the courage it can require to ask for help, trust someone with your story, and begin making changes when you may not know exactly what comes next. I view your decision to sit across from me as a patient as a meaningful leap of faith, and I do not take that trust lightly.

Treatment is collaborative. We’ll look at where you are now, where you want to go, From there, we’ll develop a practical, evidence-based treatment plan that respects your preferences, circumstances, and life goals.

If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that hasn't had space to breathe, or the weight of holding your family together while losing yourself in the process, you're not alone. I've spent over 16 years working with adults and older adults, many walking into therapy for the first time after years of pushing through in silence. My clients describe me as warm, calm, and someone they can be honest with without feeling judged. Sessions available in English and Spanish. ¿Prefieres terapia en español? Bienvenida.

If you've found your way here, chances are you're carrying something heavy. Maybe anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that reshaped your world, the exhaustion of new motherhood, or a quiet sense that you've lost track of who you are. Whatever it is, I want you to know you don't have to hold it alone anymore.

I became a therapist because I believe every person's story matters, and because I've seen what happens when someone finally feels safe enough to tell theirs. That's the part of this work I love most: watching people move from stuck and overwhelmed to grounded and free. I bring warmth and empathy to every session, but I'll also be honest with you. My clients often tell me they feel truly heard for the first time, and that's exactly what I'm hoping to give you.

I especially love working with people navigating identity, maternal mental health, grief and loss, cultural and ethnic experiences, and anxiety. I bring a culturally sensitive lens to all of it, because your background, your faith, and your family are part of your story too — not something to leave at the door.

If you're struggling with addiction, carrying the weight of complex trauma, or trying to cope while managing a chronic health condition, I want you to know there's a way forward — and you don't have to walk it alone. I'm a Certified Drug and Alcohol Counselor (CADC) with over 16 years of experience across private practice, residential substance abuse treatment, medical social work, and the non-profit world. I've sat with people in their hardest, most overwhelming moments, and I bring that same steady, non-judgmental presence to every session.

Much of my work centers on substance use and recovery, complex trauma, and the emotional toll of chronic medical conditions. Whether you're in the thick of a crisis or finally ready to address something you've carried for years, I'll meet you exactly where you are — with compassion, real tools, and zero judgment.

Before becoming a counselor, I worked as a deputy sheriff, firefighter, EMT, 911 dispatcher, and U.S. Navy Reserve member. That background shapes how I show up in sessions: direct, practical, and without judgment. I pursued counseling because I found I was genuinely good at helping people feel better, and I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, relationships, grief, and difficult life decisions. If you have been waiting to talk to someone, I am glad you are here.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 25 years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. I'm also a Certified School Counselor — which means I've spent decades not just in therapy offices, but inside schools, alongside kids and families navigating the real, daily pressures of growing up, parenting, and finding your way.

That breadth of experience shapes everything about how I work. I understand what it looks like when anxiety shows up in a classroom, when ADHD affects a family's daily life, or when an eating disorder hides behind achievement.
