We are the product of all of our collective experiences - the great, the difficult, and the parts of ourselves we like to shy away from. All of our experiences, especially those during our developmental years, shape our sense of self, the lens in which we view the world, and our place in it. My practice is rooted in social work principles and aspects of positive psychology to help guide you on the healing of the entire individual. I am currently accepting clients for night/weekend sessions.

I know we are in a time of uncertainty and we don't know what the future holds, but I am here for you. I would like you to imagine a state of mindful, empowered, living because it can be done. Whether you are currently experiencing anxiety and stress or have been struggling with depression, there is help. Having over twenty years of experience in the mental health field and over eight in private practice, I've come to understand the obstacles and challenges a person may face in therapy. Each journey is unique and I am privileged to be a guide for you to discover and find what you are looking for in life.

Are your feelings often invalidated by the people you love? Are you frustrated with dismissive responses, feeling disregarded, unseen, and unheard? Are you aiming to make everyone happy but feel your best efforts fall short of their expectations? Do you feel you need to be doing more despite achieving what others may deem as success? If you struggle with putting others' needs before your own, communicating your feelings and emotions authentically, and constantly feeling like you're not doing enough - you're in the right place.

My specialty is working with adults and teens with emotional dysregulation, self-harming behaviors and difficulty with impulsive, destructive and self-destructive behavior. I also treat trauma both in adolescents and in adults. I offer fully adherent DBT. Adherent Dialectical Behavior Therapy has the most evidence showing it to be an effective treatment for suicidal people and people with Borderline Personality Disorder and BPD traits. At this current time we are the only practice in the Tallahassee area offering full protocol, adherent DBT which means you get the treatment that works best to help you or your teen stop suffering.

Do you sometimes feel like you are drowning in your emotions? Does anger, sadness, and fear keep impacting your life in ways you don't want it to? Do you struggle with thoughts of self-harm, of not being good enough, or feeling like you are empty inside? Do you struggle with feelings of extreme anger and do you sometimes "erupt"? Or does your child struggle with intense "temper tantrums", self-harming behavior, or suicidal behaviors? Or does your loved one struggle with these things and it's negatively impacted YOUR life and you just don't know how to cope anymore?

Welcome to my page. It is so important to find a therapist you feel is a good fit for you! As an art therapist, I'm passionate about fostering a nurturing and inclusive space where individuals can embark on a creative journey of self-discovery and healing. I understand that each person's path is unique, and I celebrate the diverse ways in which thoughts, feelings, and experiences are expressed through art. My approach is rooted in neurodiversity-affirming principles, recognizing and honoring the strengths and perspectives of each individual.

Sometimes, life challenges can make us feel isolated, overwhelmed, and like no one could possibly understand. If you're experiencing these feelings and finding it harder to cope, I'd love to partner with you in exploring and improving your situation. I'd like to show you that someone can, in fact, understand. My training – in both Counseling (MS & EdS) and Marriage & Family Therapy (PhD) – makes me uniquely qualified to address a myriad of individual and relational issues using evidence-based methods that increase insight and help bring about your desired changes.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by daily obligations? Do you find yourself having difficulty focusing? Maybe you find yourself thinking you’re not good enough or feel like an imposter. I know exactly what you’re feeling: feeling things are out of your control, the tension in your body, the feeling you can’t possibly get everything done without disappointing others and you want relief now. Anxiety can be debilitating, and I don’t want you to have to suffer anymore. Reframing thinking patterns can significantly reduce anxiety, and I look forward to teaching you the strategies that will give you your life back.

Hey, life can be tough. Some events are out of our control and sometimes we tend to get in our own way. Often negative events in our childhood shape our adult responses leading to anxiety, depression, avoidance, and panic. Whatever the experience you’re here because you’re ready to overcome it. As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating.

I see therapy as an interactive journey toward achieving set goals. I believe in providing support for individuals, children, couples, and families through their journeys as a co-pilot. We a systems approach, to work together to recognize patterns in thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships that have developed through your unique experiences. Providing support with issues of grief, depression, anxiety, physical and emotional abuse, divorce, parenting, adjustment, spiritual, and relationship concerns is a priority.

Many of us struggle in silence to overcome the challenges we face, but you no longer have to face that battle alone. While the first step is acknowledging the change we need, it takes courage to recognize we need some guidance. It takes even more courage to initiate those first steps towards improving our lives. I specialize in providing therapeutic treatment for clients struggling with a wide variety of issues including, depression, anxiety, clients battling with issues related to sexuality, interpersonal relationship problems, suicidal ideation, and more.

I'm drawn to those who've faced life's unfair blows, carrying the weight of trauma. It's not about fixing; they're not broken. Their needs center around shedding the burden of feeling defective due to past experiences. Together, we navigate their history, aiming not to erase but to transform. The goal is a fresh perspective, a chance to unshackle from the past, and embrace a new lease on life—a journey filled with compassion, understanding, and authentic growth.

Problems do not occur in a vacuum. Individual problems often have symptoms that affect the entire family system. I work with children, adolescents, couples, and families experiencing whatever problems of the moment. During our work together, we will explore the impact of the issue and join together to generate solutions that not only benefit the people in the room, but may also positively influence future generations.
