My approach is solution-oriented and direct, but always collaborative. I'm not here to just listen and nod. I'm here to work with you toward change. I believe in naming things clearly, asking the hard questions, and building a plan you can actually use. As I tell my clients: if you're not changing it, you're choosing it. My job is to help you make that choice consciously, and to help you get where you're trying to go.
I specialize in anger management and mood regulation, problem-solving, depression, trauma and anxiety. I work well with clients who want a therapist who will challenge them as much as support them. Someone who brings structure and honesty to the room, without losing sight of compassion.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Tallahassee
Searching for therapists in Tallahassee starts with knowing what kind of support you want. Some people look for therapy for anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, work stress, or life transitions. As you compare therapists, look for training and listed specialties that match your needs. A therapist’s bio can show whether they use approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed care, family therapy, or couples counseling.
Tallahassee has local options across neighborhoods like Frenchtown, Eastside, Westside, and areas near Florida State University, while virtual therapy can give you more flexibility across Florida. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual appointments because they fit better with work, school, caregiving, or transportation needs. Beyond specialty, consider appointment availability, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you understand a therapist’s communication style and what sessions may look like.
Therapy in Tallahassee can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see your estimated out-of-pocket cost before booking. You can browse therapists in Tallahassee, review bios, 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.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
