Anxiety and depression therapists and psychiatrists in Tallahassee, FL

*** I am only accepting new in-person clients at this time*** Hello :) Here you are looking for someone to work with and that is brave! YOU hold the key to your inner joy. Do you acknowledge the importance of self-care, finding a healthy balance in your life, wanting to find your peace of mind, taking your power back and ready to be proactive about it? Our time together will be a safe place to talk, laugh, cry and heal. Consider it a "choose your own adventure" approach. I will guide you with techniques and help you learn new skills to apply to life.

I believe that counseling can excel healing and instill hope in your life. I see individuals that are longing for a better quality of life but unsure of how to get there. My goal is to hold the hope while you do the brave work of coping and healing.

I am a licensed therapist (LCSW) who has over 10 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with clients who were struggling to cope with adjustment disorders, depression, anxiety, anger, panic attacks, behavioral challenges, mood changes, trauma, grief, loss, spirituality-related issues, relationship conflicts, communication, and self-esteem problems. I am also a Certified, Clinical, Trauma Professional approved to help heal deep trauma resulting from traumatic events.

I believe everyone can benefit from having someone to talk to. As a therapist I enjoy creating an environment that makes people feel comfortable sharing their challenges. Through motivational interviewing I help clients discover solutions to their problems and help improve overall functioning while living with day-to-day stress. My experience helping clients with a myriad of diagnoses has prepared me to serve a wide range of individuals with a focus on unconditional positive regard and a collaborative therapeutic environment.

It is said that the journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Congratulations on taking the first step on your journey to healing, self-discovery, and growth. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has a passion for working with individuals who have experienced trauma, intense stress, anxiety, depression and damaged self esteem. It is a privilege to be allowed to go on this journey with every client that will allow me in their space.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Ph.D. in Sociology, bridging clinical practice and research. I specialize in supporting individuals navigating depression, life transitions, racial/ethnic identity and relational challenges, and burnout, with a focus on college students, young adults, Black women, and other people of color. Using a relational approach to therapy, I strive to create a space where you feel safe and empowered to embrace your authentic self. My goal is to help you move through your experiences with clarity and a deeper connection to who you truly are.

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.
