I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker serving women in Montana and Florida through my private practice, Heart Development Strategies, LLC. I earned my Master of Social Work from Western New Mexico University and hold a graduate certificate in Rural Community Social Work. I am trained in EMDR, trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, Internal Family Systems, and strengths-based, person-centered approaches.

I specialize in working with emotionally and mentally exhausted women navigating anxiety, burnout, compassion fatigue, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of the women I work with are leaders, entrepreneurs, professionals, and caregivers who have spent years holding everything together while quietly losing touch with themselves. Women often come to me because they want someone real, warm, honest, and straightforward. I am not here to impress you or give you a script to follow. I meet you where you are with truth, compassion, and practical support.

Please note, outside of Headway insurance I also accept Mountain Health Co-Op, Peak PPO.

Sometimes the way you learned to cope is no longer helping you live the life you want. You may turn to substances when emotions become overwhelming, find yourself reacting with anger you later regret, or feel trapped between anxiety, depression, and painful experiences from your past. These struggles can begin affecting your relationships, family, confidence, and ability to recognize yourself. I provide virtual individual and family therapy in English and Spanish for adolescents, adults, and seniors throughout Florida, with a focus on substance use and addiction, anxiety, depression, anger management, and trauma. I also support clients navigating family and relationship issues, PTSD, grief and loss, stress, major life transitions, women’s issues, maternal mental health, identity concerns, ADHD, bipolar disorder, OCD, and eating disorders when these challenges intersect with the primary reasons they seek therapy. My goal is to help you understand what is keeping you stuck, reconnect with your strengths, and develop healthier ways to move forward.

Admitting life is too much, is hard. Reaching out for help takes courage and is the first step toward change. I provide an environment of honesty, integrity, compassion, and acceptance where you can tell your story openly and formulate a plan for how best to move forward. If you're ready, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I'm a LMHC and have worked in mental health for over 15 yrs. I see adults and teens looking to better understand themselves and ultimately improve their lives.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor based in Brevard County, Florida. I'm authorized to serve clients throughout Delaware and Florida.

My focus is supporting clients through life transitions, trauma, and grief. Most of my clients are experiencing a combination of the following symptoms: anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, difficulty concentrating, irritability, and social withdrawal—symptoms that often stem from unresolved traumatic experiences.

In therapy, I help clients explore and process the people, places, and events that contributed to their trauma. Together, we work to reduce the power of triggers and painful memories so clients can focus on their current goals, relationships, and overall well-being.

Additionally, I am a certified Adoption Competent Therapist. As an adoptive parent and former foster parent, I am passionate about supporting children and families in the child welfare system and post-adoption. I help families build, repair, and strengthen attachment, while navigating the unique challenges that can arise from early loss and transitions.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by a world not built for your brain? I work with neurodivergent individuals, including those with ADHD or high functioning Autism often late-diagnosed, who are tired of trying harder and ready to start trying differently. I provide a space where you don’t have to mask to be heard I also help older adults distinguish between senior moments and lifelong patterns of ADHD. If retirement has removed the structure you once relied on, making it harder to stay organized or present in conversations, we can work together to find clarity. It is never too late to understand your brain and reclaim your happiness.

I've been a licensed psychologist for about 30 years. Over that period, I've worked with clients presenting with all kinds of life situations and presenting problems. I have particular expertise around anxiety disorders, depression, trauma and substance use issues.

I specialize in treating anxiety disorders, depression, and ADHD across the lifespan, and I work with adults and seniors navigating a range of mental health challenges — including bipolar disorder, OCD, panic disorders, sleep difficulties, and more. My greatest strength is building genuine, trusting relationships with my patients. I take the time to listen without judgment, understand each person's unique needs, and create individualized treatment plans that help you feel supported and empowered throughout your mental health journey. Outside of work, I recharge by spending time with my family, traveling, and staying active outdoors.
