Life can be challenging, and having a safe, supportive space to process experiences and create change can make a meaningful difference. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years of experience, I provide a warm, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and supported.

My background includes private practice, schools, child welfare, forensic social work, community mental health, and military support services. I have extensive experience working with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, family concerns, and major life transitions.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Registered Nurse in Florida with more than 30 years of experience helping adults navigate emotional challenges, health concerns, and major life transitions.

I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, grief and loss, relationship concerns, self-esteem and body-image issues, emotional eating, and adjustment to illness or other unexpected changes in life. My nursing background also gives me a unique understanding of the connection between physical and emotional health, including the challenges that can accompany medical conditions, bariatric surgery, weight management, and GLP-1 treatment.

My approach is warm, compassionate, practical, and nonjudgmental. I believe therapy should be collaborative and focused on what is most important to you. My goal is to provide a comfortable place where you can talk openly, gain perspective, develop useful coping strategies, and feel supported as you work toward meaningful change.

I help adolescents and adults navigate anxiety, depression, stress, relationship challenges, life transitions, and emotional struggles so they can feel more balanced, connected, and confident in their daily lives. Do you ever feel pulled in too many directions, juggling relationships, work, family responsibilities, and your own well-being, while rarely finding the time or space to truly care for yourself? When life feels overwhelming, it can be easy to lose touch with your own needs and emotions. Therapy can provide a space to slow down, gain clarity, reconnect with yourself, and create a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with the life you want.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to your unique needs. I believe therapy works best when built on trust, authenticity, and partnership. Together, we will explore patterns that may no longer be serving you, build on your strengths, and develop practical strategies to help you feel more grounded, empowered, and confident moving forward.

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know one another, discuss what brings you to therapy, and explore your goals for our work together. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to create meaningful change. I invite you to reach out or schedule an appointment, and I look forward to supporting you as you work toward the life you want.

You look like you're holding it together on the outside, but inside you're exhausted.

Maybe your mind never shuts off. You replay conversations, expect the worst, overthink every decision, or feel constantly on edge. You put everyone else first, struggle to set boundaries, and wonder why you keep ending up in the same painful relationships or patterns. You tell yourself to "just move on," yet your body still reacts as if the danger never left.

Trauma doesn't always look like one big event. Sometimes it looks like years of feeling unseen, walking on eggshells, people-pleasing, perfectionism, emotional neglect, or growing up believing you had to earn love by taking care of everyone else.

The truth is, you're not broken. Your brain and nervous system learned how to survive. The problem is those survival patterns can keep you stuck long after the danger is gone.

As a Neuroscience-Informed Trauma Specialist, I help adults understand why they feel the way they do and, more importantly, how to change it. Using EMDR, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, attachment-focused therapy, and nervous system regulation, we'll work to reprocess painful experiences so they stop controlling your present.

Whether you're struggling with trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or major life transitions, therapy is more than talking about your week. Together, we'll uncover the root of what's keeping you stuck, quiet the constant mental noise, help your nervous system feel safe again, and create lasting change from the inside out.

You deserve more than simply surviving. Imagine waking up without constant anxiety, trusting yourself again, setting boundaries without guilt, building healthier relationships, and finally feeling like your life belongs to you instead of your past.

Healing is possible. You don't have to do it alone.

I am here for you and your well-being! I have over 20 years of experience as a Social Worker working with adults and seniors facing stressors and life events. I've worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds and communities, guiding them through emotional challenges including depression, anxiety, and chronic health conditions.

Sasha has over 12 years of experience treating adolescents and adults, working across a variety of settings including schools, residential treatment programs, community-based outreach programs, and military health systems.

I specialize in evidence-based treatments for patients suffering from anxiety, OCD, Depression, and trauma related disorders. These treatments are more effective and efficient than traditional therapy because they directly target symptoms. I provide specific exercises aimed at breaking behavioral patterns that maintain symptoms. Traditional psychotherapy emphasizes gaining insight which in itself often does not lead to symptom reduction. Changing what you do will you change how you feel.
