Trauma and PTSD therapists & psychiatrists in Stuart, FL

I received both my Bachelors and Masters degrees from Central Michigan University. I have worked in hospital settings as well as private practice. I have had great success with the virtual format and am thankful for such ease for my clients to have sessions without the trouble of travel. I work primarily with teens and women, working to build skills to manage a variety of snuggles.

My practice style is open minded, solution focused, and direct to the point. I love to help any individual from a humanistic point of view. I am extremely empathetic, love to be honest and being honest with my patients is key in my every day practice.

I primarily treat patients experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as conditions such as OCD, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is holistic, addressing the physiological, cognitive, and emotional aspects of mental health to support overall well-being.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Central Florida, I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and soul—and meeting each individual where they are in their journey.

Seeking support is a sign of strength—something we all need at times. Simply putting words to what you’ve been carrying can feel like a weight lifted.

Hello! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a master’s from Trinity University, and I’ve been honored to walk alongside individuals ages 3 to 80 in their healing journeys. I specialize in trauma work helping men with social anxiety to overcome social anxiousnes. For those who wish, I offer faith-based, biblical approaches to integrate spiritual support into therapy. You’re not alone, healing is possible.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and the founder of The Listening Room, where I provide therapy for adults navigating stress, trauma, and major life transitions. I have experience working with individuals facing anxiety, relationship challenges, and court-related or high-stress situations.

My approach is supportive, direct, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity. I create a space where you can be heard without judgment, while also working together to develop practical tools for real-life change.

I offer virtual sessions, with limited in-person availability in Miami and Broward.

I earned my degree in psychology, and a gap year with Jesuit Volunteer Corps in a social justice setting led me to social work. I use a systems approach, meaning I look at the personal, family, and life factors affecting your well-being. My background in foster care, crisis work, community-based care, and therapy gives me a collaborative, well-rounded perspective.

A BETTER LIFE FOR YOU OR YOUR LOVED ONE... This will always be my goal in therapy. At times when you find yourself dealing with life's curve-balls, fighting the world with no options ahead, I'm here to help you navigate, face reality, identify, and move forward in your journey. I'm a Licensed Psychotherapist (bilingual) with a genuine desire to help you REGAIN control. With 30 years in the field, I've come to the conclusion that there is HOPE; things CAN change; there IS a BETTER life for you or your loved ones. I've seen patients improve, rebuild, and take on life with a new perspective.

I believe therapy is a collaborative journey—not a quick fix. If you or your child are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or weighed down by stress, anxiety, or past experiences, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I work with adults and children, bringing warmth, compassion, and a strengths-based approach to each session. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore challenges, reconnect with their strengths, and move toward a more fulfilling life. I integrate trauma-informed practices and, when it feels helpful, nature-based techniques to support grounding, perspective, and growth. I’m here to guide and empower you—while helping you take meaningful, practical steps forward.

I have background experience working with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression, or similar symptoms, as well as substance abuse, some trauma (primarily relationship and attachment-related), and occupational or educational challenges or stressors. During my graduate program, I was placed in practicum as a career advisor and worked with undergraduate and graduate students at the university career development center. I then interned as a therapist at a substance abuse therapist...

Throughout your journey, holistic individualized care will be provided, and you will be connected with relevant resources and references to support your well-being. I specialize in caring for patients of all ages and have experience with a range of mental health disorders, including anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and Bipolar Disorder.
