One of the greatest joys I have in life is the privilege of walking beside clients on their journey to healing and wellness. I work hard to provide clients with a safe and comfortable space where they can address the issues of importance to them. I view myself as a fellow traveler whose role it is to collaboratively create a map to get clients where they desire to go. No two clients are the same, and no two maps are the same. Each experience with clients is new and deserves a fresh approach which is based on your needs, not mine. I work hard to get to know you, your story, your goals, your strengths, and your growing edges. I hope each and every client leaves the session feeling heard, valued, and respected. As a Marriage and Family Therapist I work with individuals, couples, and families from a systemic point of view. I work with clients to figure out where the various puzzle pieces fit inside their lives and relationships. I have earned a Masters and PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy, and along the way have taken extra training in a variety of areas. I am a sex therapist, a clinical sexologist, a certified sex addiction therapist, a certified partner trauma therapist, and a Gottman Level 3 trained therapist. I invest in the best training in order to provide you with the best tools. Clients come to me to work on issues of depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, recovering from sexual assault/sexual abuse, and for exploring issues of sexual identity or sexuality issues. I am comfortable working with individuals, couples, and entire families — and I am comfortable working with adolescents and adults. I am in-network with several insurance panels. In working with couples, I primarily utilize the Gottman Method Couples Therapy. This approach to therapy is one of the most well researched and effective approaches to helping couples resolve issues, increase connection, improve communication, and gain a better understanding of how relationships work. When I am not in the office, you can usually find me hanging out at home, tending the garden, collecting eggs from the chickens, caring for our goats, harassing our dogs and cats, or harassing my very patient wife and very tolerant adult children. I sometimes get to play golf (and sadly lose A LOT of balls). And I enjoy working with various local groups such as the Human Rights Coalition of Alachua County, the Human Rights Council, the PRIDE Center, and working to help make our community a safe place for all people. Licensed in or able to provide telehealth services in the following states: Delaware, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Utah, Virginia

Hi there! I work with individuals struggling with Grief, Anxiety, and Trauma. A specific area of interest for me has been working with those who have tried therapy in the past, but for whatever reason had difficulty showing up fully in the counseling space. My aim is to change that narrative with relational psychotherapy, somatic processing, & EMDRIA approved EMDR. I have clinical experience working in areas such as depression, shame, self-harm, suicidal ideation, body-image issues, eating disorders, life transitions, faith-based issues, relational challenges, phobias, addiction, & self-esteem.

Life can be like the weather. Some days are blue skies and sunshine, and other days are stormy. Sometimes the storms stick around for a little longer than wanted or expected, and they start to impact important areas of your life. Weather can especially be unpredictable, and can affect you in a way where it feels like the rug was pulled out under your feet. While we cannot control the weather, I recognize that it can be exhausting, depressing, and anxiety-provoking. My goal is to help you recognize your resiliency and learn to navigate these events together. I am passionate about supporting teens and adults impacted by sudden or traumatic loss, navigating grief, or want to learn how to cope with breakups or divorce. I also provide couples therapy using an emotion-focused therapeutic approach, and help those experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or other interpersonal concerns. Our individual stories and identities are unique, and I strive to honor them with culturally-sensitive and trauma-informed approaches during the therapeutic process. The decision to start therapy can be incredibly hard, and I will meet you where you are at through it all. I look forward to connecting with you!

This is you taking the next step toward personal growth and healing. The focus of my therapeutic practice is to help individuals who have experienced trauma, the LGBTQIA+ community, and those wishing to understand and manage emotions. If you struggle to recover from your past, feel disconnected, isolated, and frustrated, and if it feels like you are stuck in the same patterns over and over with little support or guidance, I think I can help. Many of the clients I work with have endured abuse, neglect, or are survivors of other traumas. I also specialize in helping clients navigate adversities related to their gender or sexuality.

I was raised in Southwest Florida, and have been in Gainesville ever since. I attended the University of Florida where I graduated with my Master’s degree and Education Specialist degree in Marriage and Family counseling, and my Bachelor’s in Psychology with a minor in Family, Youth, and Community Sciences. I have had the honor of serving and giving back to the Gainesville community in a variety of settings. I have helped adults with intensive care needs going through medical transitions and financial stress at the Care One Clinic through Shands. Then, at Girl’s Place, where I supported children and adolescents through counseling, play therapy, and psychoeducational groups. I have also worked at UF Springhill’s Clinic for OCD, Anxiety and Related Disorders. I consider myself a student for life, striving towards always learning from others and growing as a person in a personal and professional role as a therapist, all while I get the privilege to walk alongside others on their own healing journeys. I love working from a systemic lens that takes on a zoomed out approach of humanity and our interconnectedness with our world and each other. Thus, I integrate different theories and therapy styles into the work I do with clients, such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Multicultural and Feminist theory, Narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Multigenerational Family Systems Theory. With clients who want to work through concerns of an OCD diagnosis, I use exposure and response prevention (ERP) with integration of CBT and ACT. My therapy style includes using metaphors, offering re-framed ways of thinking and alternate perspectives. Most of all, the therapy space with me is one in which I help you to feel comfortable to take up space and allow yourself to be heard in the brave effort to be understood. I truly believe that the path to how we can live a better life, and how to reduce our suffering, is planted like seeds within all of us. In therapy I help you to cultivate those seeds of potential, and grow towards the warmth of the sun.

It can be a difficult decision or intimidating process to begin or reengage in counseling, so I am glad you are visiting my profile for the chance to learn more about me. If you are feeling stuck in your life and looking for some insight, this is a very relatable experience. I often see clients who are tired of experiencing stress, confusion, anxiety or panic, depression, lack of enjoyment, etc. These experiences may come as a result of painful or traumatic life experiences, fear of the unknown, oppressive social messages or expectations, major life changes, loss and grief... As someone who has participated in counseling as a client, I am committed to a relationship with you built on mutual trust and compassion. My goal is to help guide your ability to tap into your inner wisdom, trust yourself, and release stuck emotions, so you can feel liberated from the things that have gotten in your way or weighed you down. My greatest wish for all human beings is to experience freedom and joy. I know that taking the first step to reach out can be the hardest part, so I hope to provide reassurance and make your efforts feel worthwhile. I'll look forward to hearing from you to see if we would like to work together.

I specialize in helping teens, adults and families who are struggling in their relationships. You may find the trauma or discord from your past is resulting in unhappy relationships where you feel disconnected or misunderstood. This can include parents feeling frustrated and needing practical strategies, academics navigating a competitive environment, or those overwhelmed by depression, anxiety, or low self esteem who are ready to release unhelpful symptoms. I provide tailored strategies to uncover your powerful authentic self, understand your inner dialogue more fully, and support you in creating more harmony within yourself. I approach sessions with deep listening and recognize that your struggles exist in the context of your environment and life history. I support you in gaining understanding of how some habits of behaving and thinking may be strategies you learned when your needs were not met as a child and are negatively affecting relationships or are causing you suffering. I utilize a variety of treatment approaches that I tailor to your individual situation. I will likely weave mindfulness, self-compassion, knowledge about the nervous system, and communication skill-building into our sessions. I pull from therapeutic modalities such as Internal Family Systems, Somatic Experiencing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.

My practice specializes in providing clinical counseling and consulting services for diverse populations from a systemic lens. I provide individual and family counseling, evaluations for ADHD & autism, forensic family law evaluations, as well as clinical supervision for Mental Health Counseling and Marriage & Family Therapy interns seeking licensure in Florida. I focus my clinical work on helping adolescents and teens under stress and adults who have lived through difficult times as children. This means that many of my clients identify as Gen-Z, millennials, and high-achieving professionals who have experienced trauma in their families of origin and desire to seek and engage in healthier relationships with themselves and with others. In the last few years as my practice has become more specialized, a common denominator is that many of my clients are exploring their brain style and its accompanying traits. Consequently, my ideal client is someone exploring how their ADHD, giftedness, and/or autism are impacting their school & work performance, their mental & physical health, and their relationships. Neurodiversity affirming therapy is a client-centered approach that recognizes the diversity of human experience and promotes acceptance, inclusion, and empowerment for individuals with neurological differences. As a result, my therapeutic approach is strengths-based, supportive, goal-oriented, and trauma-informed. As a systemic therapist, that means addressing diversity, gender, power, and other sociocultural dimensions is an inherent part of the work we will do together. My own lived experience combined with over a decade of working with neurodivergent individuals and their families allows me to bring unique perspective and empathy to the therapeutic space. You might like my style if you are craving- or even open to – exploration of your inner child, befriending your body, gaining emotional intelligence, and navigating healthier relationships.
