We don't usually seek help when life is going well for us. Whatever your current situation is, you are looking for help and guidance. I provide an encouraging and warm environment for exploration and growth. I am passionate about my work and invested in your process towards transformation. I believe each client requires a unique treatment plan that is tailored to their personal life situation.
I believe everyone deserves a safe place to feel heard, supported, and understood. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling from Webster University and tailor therapy to each person's unique needs and goals. My hope is that you'll feel comfortable, encouraged, and empowered as we work together toward healing and lasting change.
I have a BS degree in Health Science from San Jose State University and an MSW degree from the University of Southern California. Yes, I’m originally from California. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both California and Florida. I was first licensed in 2003. For the first ten years of my practice, I worked with children, adolescents, and families.
I have over eight years of experience supporting individuals whose mental health is affected by health and medical issues. Finally, I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and founder of Roots Healing Alliance, where I help individuals and couples do deeper, meaningful healing work. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, and relationship patterns, using a mix of insight-based and body-centered approaches. My style is warm, direct, and real. You won’t get a “therapist mask,” but someone who’s genuinely in it with you. I’ll support you while also gently challenging you to grow. My goal is to help you better understand yourself and create lasting, authentic change.
Drawing from twenty years of experience in education and principal of therapeutic schools, I have developed the art of conflict resolution with reticent learners, with parents, with couples and individuals. I have the skillset to support people and transform their perceptions of self to cope with communication issues, anger, depression, anxiety, self-esteem, and trauma. My empathetic approach offers people to find positive and creative techniques. I am highly gifted in working to establish and enhance relationships between parent and child/husband and wife using conflict resolution to create opportunities. As a clinician of almost ten years, I interact exceedingly well with individuals and couples to support positive communication and achieve personal growth whether it be in a marriage, parenting/school skills, or within oneself. My understanding, compassion, and acceptance of people when they enter therapy create a safe and trusting environment to unpack problems and develop strategies that enhance well-being, stability, and alternative perspectives on how to address struggles/conflicts.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Saint Petersburg, FL
Searching for therapists in Saint Petersburg starts with finding someone whose training fits what you want support with. Therapists may focus on concerns like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or major life changes. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that match your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or couples counseling. A therapist’s profile can also show how they describe their style, what they focus on, and what a first session may include.
In St. Petersburg, your search may include therapists near downtown, Historic Kenwood, Grand Central, Old Northeast, or nearby parts of Pinellas County. You may prefer an in-person office that fits your commute, or virtual therapy that works better with your schedule. Beyond location, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication styles, therapy structure, and experience with concerns like st. Petersburg counseling, couples counseling in St. Petersburg, FL, or individual therapy in St. Pete.
Therapy in Saint Petersburg can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you find therapists in St. Petersburg, FL who are accepting new patients and offer upfront cost estimates after you enter your insurance details. Nationally, Headway partners with a wide range of insurance plans, and you can confirm coverage for your specific plan before booking. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, 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.
