Hello :)
Please know that I understand that sometimes, life just happens. And sometimes those happenings can throw you for a loop, make you feel that you need answers ASAP.
If needed, please try and reach out to me directly and if possible, and you’d like, we can have a same day session. Just ask, and I’ll do what I can to fit you in and face this head on.
I am licensed in Florida with 10 years of professional work experience. My professional work experience is mostly in inpatient acute medical settings, which has given me thousands of face-to-face hours with a very broad span of people, personalities, situations.
My life experience also is pretty significant to my therapeutic approach: personally, I navigate through daily life with anxiety, depression, and ADHD, and truthfully, it's unlikely that I will not be able to authentically relate to you. When helpful, I'll share my own experiences, and I feel that this helps curate a genuine trust that leads to better therapy outcomes.
I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, career difficulties, depression, & coping with life changes. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
