Florida Based Therapist Specializing in Relationship and Couples Therapy


Here to help you gain new insights into yourself

I believe that you are in charge of your healing journey.

As an Online Florida Therapist, I’m dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s challenges with compassion and understanding, whether through solo work or couples therapy. My approach is warm, supportive, and focused on empowering you to build lifelong coping skills.

If you're seeking a therapist for relationships, struggling with anxiety or trauma, or simply facing a difficult transition, I’m here to support you. I specialize as a trauma therapist and anxiety therapist, using evidence-based methods to help you understand yourself more deeply and move toward lasting change.

I offer EMDR therapy to help you heal from past traumas and gain insight into the patterns that may be holding you back. I also use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to support clients in shifting unhelpful thought patterns, especially those related to anxiety and depression.

Together, we’ll uncover your inner strengths, build new tools, and create a path forward that feels right for you. I look forward to walking beside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
