As a licensed therapist with three decades of experience in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients address depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and mood-related challenges. I have extensive expertise working with diverse populations, including older adults, veterans, and individuals experiencing life transitions. My therapeutic approach is deeply compassionate and tailored to each person's unique journey. I focus on helping clients improve communication skills, explore life purpose, and heal from past experiences. Whether you're struggling with attachment issues, codependency, or seeking support through significant life changes, I provide a supportive and understanding environment. I am committed to walking alongside my clients, offering professional guidance rooted in empathy and evidence-based practices. My goal is to empower you to discover your inner strength, build resilience, and create meaningful, positive change in your life.

“Still the same amazing therapists I wrote about the last time this site asked me to write out a review. Basically she's that perfect combination of experience and natural skill. I think what works most for me is that she really makes sure to understand you before she starts offering her opinion.”
