I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience helping clients navigate mental and emotional challenges. I earned both my bachelor’s and master’s degrees in social work from Florida State University. My passion is to provide a safe, non-judgmental space where clients can gain insight into their lives and work toward personal growth and healing.
For the past five years, I have dedicated my practice to serving the Veteran community. This work has given me deep insight into the resilience of the human spirit and the specialized care required to treat the "invisible wounds" of service. Whether you are a Veteran or a civilian navigating past trauma, I provide a grounded, expert-led space to help you move from surviving to thriving. My background as a researcher and author provides me with a unique lens on how the brain works. I am a mental health advocate, have led large-scale government-funded grants on the brain, and hosted regular mental health segments on FCN and WJXT
I am a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner dedicated to provide compassionate, personalized care for individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and other mental health challenges. My goal is to create a space where you feel heard, respected and understood. I am here to support you every step of the way.
I enjoy working with individuals to emphasize their inner strengths, improve their relationships with others, and lead meaningful lives. My specialty areas include anxiety, anger control problems, trauma, stress management, and self-regulation.
Feeling trapped by anxiety, intrusive thoughts, or procrastination? I help you gain calm and control with practical, evidence-based CBT and ERP -informed tools. I help adults with anxiety and OCD intrusive thoughts, reduce chronic overthinking, and feel steady again in their daily life and relationships. My approach integrates ERP and CBT for practical symptom relief with deeper attachment and parts-based work to address long-standing relational patterns, self-criticism, and codependency. Therapy with me is structured, collaborative, and paced to your individual path.
Many functioning adults struggle with anxiety, OCD, or procrastination that persists even when they understand what’s happening.
These patterns aren’t a lack of willpower —
They may be learned responses that can be changed with the right support and tools.
Together, we create tailored plan for transcending patterns that have kept you stuck.
You’ll leave sessions with language for your patterns, tools that work in real time, and a quiet confidence you didn’t think was possible.
I specialize in:
- OCD and intrusive thought spirals
- Anxiety that shows up as overthinking, perfectionism, or constant second-guessing, emotional eating
- Codependent relationship dynamics
- Navigating old-school family dynamics without shrinking yourself
People tell me they value my sincerity, warmth, and ability to make them feel truly seen — while also being gently challenged to grow.
If you’re ready to stop spinning and start shifting, schedule a session with me today.
