Who I Treat
Adults
Individual Therapy
Teens
Couples Counseling
Therapy isn't one size fits all, and neither are my clients. I work with teens and adults across Florida who are navigating some of life's harder seasons. Here's a little more about who I work with and what we might explore together.
Grief and Loss:
Grief doesn't follow a timeline and it doesn't always look like sadness. Maybe you've lost someone you love, or maybe you're grieving a relationship, a job, a version of yourself, or a life you expected to have. Whatever you're carrying, we'll make space for it here.
Relationship Patterns:
If you find yourself in the same relationship dynamics over and over — with partners, family, or friends — it's usually not a coincidence. Together we'll look at where those patterns started and what it might take to build something different.
Couples
Sometimes the problem isn't that you don't love each other — it's that you keep having the same argument without ever really resolving it. Or you've stopped arguing altogether, and that silence feels just as heavy.
I work with couples navigating communication breakdowns, conflict patterns, and the disconnection that builds up over time. Together we slow things down, look at what's actually happening beneath the surface, and work on building something that feels more like partnership.
I provide affirming couples therapy for LGBTQ partners and welcome couples of all backgrounds and relationship structures.
Depression and Mood Struggles:
When everything feels heavy and flat, it's hard to imagine feeling any other way. I work with clients navigating depression, low mood, and the kind of burnout that goes deeper than just being tired.
Anxiety:
Whether your anxiety shows up as constant overthinking, physical tension, avoidance, or just a persistent sense that something is wrong — we'll work on understanding it and building tools that actually help.
Trauma:
I draw from trauma-informed approaches in all my work, and I'm completing EMDR certification this summer for clients ready to process trauma more directly. If you've been carrying something for a long time, there's a path through it.
Diagnosis and common presentations
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD)
Presentation: Excessive, hard-to-control worry about multiple domains; restlessness, muscle tension, sleep problems, fatigue, irritability, and difficulty concentrating.
Panic disorder and panic attacks
Presentation: Recurrent, unexpected panic attacks with intense physical symptoms (heart palpitations, shortness of breath, dizziness) and worry about future attacks or avoidance behaviorss
Social anxiety disorder
Presentation: Intense fear of social evaluation, avoidance of social or performance situations, anticipatory anxiety, and significant functional impairment at work or in relationships.
Major depressive disorder and persistent depressive symptoms

Attachment-related difficulties and relational trauma
Presentation: Patterns of insecure attachment (avoidant, anxious, disorganized) manifesting as fear of intimacy, excessive reassurance-seeking, difficulty trusting, emotional cutoffs, or reactivity in relationships. May include history of relational trauma, attachment disruptions, or repeated unstable relationships.
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
Presentation: brain-based condition marked by inattention, hyperactivity, and/or impulsivity that disrupt daily life. Common signs include trouble focusing, forgetfulness, disorganization, not finishing tasks, fidgeting, restlessness, and impulsive choices. It often starts in childhood and can continue into adulthood, affecting work, relationships, and mood.
Post-traumatic stress symptoms (relational/complex trauma)
Presentation: Intrusive memories, hypervigilance, avoidance, emotional numbing, and interpersonal difficulties following relational trauma.
Chronic stress, burnout, and workplace-related difficulties
Presentation: Persistent stress, exhaustion, reduced performance, cynicism, difficulty concentrating, and boundary erosion.
CBT and DBT Skills
CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps you spot a those negative thoughts that sabotage your mood and behavior. By practicing new ways of thinking and reacting, you’ll build healthier mental habits to handle stress, anxiety, and other everyday bumps in the road—making life less stressful and a lot more manageable.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop practical skills for coping with stress. It blends mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness—all wrapped up in a supportive, non-judgmental space.
Humanistic and Person- Centered therapy
Focus is in on the individual's capacity for growth, self-awareness, and self-directed change. Rooted in the belief that people are fundamentally oriented toward health and wholeness, these approaches emphasize empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine, nonjudgmental presence from the therapist.
Somatic and Mindfulness Skills
Somatic therapy and mindfulness skills help you reconnect mind and body to reduce stress, regulate emotions, and respond to triggers with more awareness and choice. Somatic approaches focus on bodily sensations—breath, muscle tension, posture, and movement—to access and release stored stress. Mindfulness trains nonjudgmental attention to the present moment, teaching you to notice thoughts, feelings, and sensations without being swept away by them.
Gottman Therapy
I draw on my study of Julie and John Gottman’s work and research on married couples to offer Gottman-informed therapy for both couples and individuals.
Gottman therapy is an evidence-informed approach. It focuses on what predicts relationship stability and satisfaction, and translates those findings into practical interventions couples can use to strengthen connection, manage conflict, and rebuild trust.
The approach blends research-based assessment, skills training, and therapeutic interventions to change negative interaction patterns, deepen emotional understanding, and increase positive shared experiences.
