"The best way out is through." Robert Frost....Congratulations in taking your first step towards your journey of healing! I am an empathic, creative, eclectic facilitator of healing with a strong foundation in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I am a Certified Traumatologist, certified in Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), and a Certified Hypnotherapist. As a seasoned Licensed Clinical Social Worker/Psychotherapist, I specialize in the treatment of adults and children who are motivated to move through depression, suicidal ideation, self-esteem work, anxiety, grief/loss, relational discord, PTSD, domestic violence, and sexual abuse.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a member of the Mental Health Counselors Association. I've been providing counseling services to the community for over 20 years. My counseling practice is influenced by three years facilitating a court-ordered divorce course for the Naples Mental Health Association and completion of the Supreme Court Certified Family Mediation Training Program. In addition, I have 20 years of on-going study and experience with the psychoanalytic thought process that suggests our current issues and choices are often determined by emotional feelings and memories from the past.

I have my LCSW in both Florida and Massachusetts. I have specialized working with children and adolescents with emotional behavioral issues and their families in a variety of clinical settings. I embrace Positive Psychology and will support and guide those with relationship issues toward a positive outcome. I believe that if the client and therapist can develop rapport and trust that together they can tackle any problem. I love this work and bring a number of years experience to the table to assist those who are looking for a positive change in their lives.

Are you or a loved one dealing with stress, trauma, or struggling to handle life's challenges? Are you facing problematic conflicts in your relationships?

You will be in good hands because you'll be supported and guided with care and professionalism and empowered with the tools to reclaim control of your life. Let's get started on achieving your personal goals and growth.

I remember the first time that I decided to seek therapy. The fear, the anxiety, and also the desperation to be heard. It can all be overwhelming from not knowing what to expect and not knowing where to go. It can be especially difficult if this is your first time or you are an individual who identifies as BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color), due to the potential stigma attached to mental health within certain communities. No matter the feeling that you are experiencing at this moment, please know that whatever you are feeling is valid, real, and normal.

Connecting with others is the most viable way to improve the quality of life and build on social and emotional maturity. We want to help guide you towards realizing your greater potential through therapeutic and holistic services, ongoing training, education and professional mentoring. Vantage Point Counseling & Wellness embraces diversity in all contexts, viewing cultural differences as an expression that encourages growth and transformation for the betterment of life. Seeking counseling can feel a little uneasy at first, but once you begin, you will find an immediate sense of committment to your goal of optimal wellness.

Change starts with small steps. There’s a misconception that therapy is one step away from throwing in the towel, when really therapy is the first step on a journey that can bring healing and happiness back into your life. Finding a “right fit” therapist can tremendously empower you or your loved one to regain the confidence and happiness everyone deserves. A therapist who hears you, understands you and wants to help you work through the decisions that you need to make in order to feel whole again in a safe and nonjudgmental environment.

It can be easy to get overwhelmed with life's challenges. Therapy offers a safe space to feel your emotions, organize your thoughts, and develop solutions that align with your values. I view things through a holistic and systemic lens - I look at the whole picture and help you to consider how your well-being connects to the different areas of your life.

Are you overwhelmed by racing thoughts that keep you up at night and worrying that doesn't seem to end? Have you lost interest in activities you once enjoyed and feeling "not yourself"? Are you having difficulties connecting with loved ones? If so, you are not alone. I help many people with these issues. Through telling me your inner struggles and emotional pain, I will help you clear up your mind so that you can focus more on productivity and obtaining the personal growth you are striving for. Together, we can overcome obstacles, gain insight, and learn how to build and keep healthy relationships.

Trauma, stress, and burnout can contribute to depression, anxiety, and difficulty in our relationships with loved ones. Unhealthy attachment styles and avoidance tendencies only make things worse. So why do we react that way? People develop survival skills when they are used to living in crisis, but sometimes these skills turn into self sabotaging behaviors. Through therapy we will find ways to adapt your survival skills to healthier coping skills. You have had to be strong to make it to where you are now, and you should be proud of yourself for that! I hope to help you create a safe space where you can get the rest you deserve

We believe in the importance of both Science and Spirituality in our work. We are advocates for both Herbal and Prescription treatment and believe in the use of both Eastern and Western medical systems to treat disease and maintain health. We practice a model of therapy, coaching, and counseling which is collaborative, open and holistic in nature. Our therapeutic relationship should feel warm, safe and be connecting. This model is different than many counseling models which have a less collaborative flavor. In these models typically the therapist is the "expert" in the room and should not be challenged.

I am the co-owner of South Tampa Wellness Spa but more importantly I am the mother to two young adults and a spouse to a U.S. Army veteran spending over 22 years facing the many challenges military life brings. I believe that everyone has the potential to overcome the obstacles that life throws at us. It is my goal to work along side with clients to replace the negative self-talk and the coping skills the no longer work with positive and more effective skills they can carry with them long after they leave a session.

Thought you could handle things on your own but struggling to get through your day while dealing with anxiety that you can't explain? Feel extremely depressed and at a loss for answers? My clients say that meeting with me has given them the hope they needed to begin to feel alive again.
