“I understand the deep wounds battling through life can leave. I also understand the healing that comes from personal growth and vulnerability.”
There's a lot of noise in the world telling us who to be - how we should dress, how we should act, who we should love, how we should think, how we should interact with the people around us. With all of that pressure, trying to figure out who you really are and who you really want to be can be confusing and difficult. If this sounds like you, let's create a space where you can exhale; where you can explore yourself and the world around you; where you can discuss the things that are hard to talk about - the lived experiences that make each day difficult and find that relief you need. Whether you are struggling with identity, grief, trauma, burnout, the impact of neurodivergence, depression, anxiety, relationships, or loss, you don't have to struggle through it alone.
Therapy with me is a curious, collaborative, and authentic experience - one where we are both present, together. We are just two people, working together to understand how to live in a world full of challenges. I enjoy working with teens, young adults, and adults who are motivated and introspective, and are curious about understanding themselves on a deeper level. I welcome members of the LGBTQIA+ and neurodivergent communities, and have experience supporting those who are navigating complex emotional experiences across a range of identities.
I balance structure and exploration to support your therapeutic experience. You don't have to show up perfectly - the important part is just showing up. We'll work together to build self-compassion and work toward you feeling more grounded, authentic, and internally secure, as well as establishing healthy boundaries and styles of communication with those around you. Some of the approaches I most commonly utilize are Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, somatic therapy, motivational interviewing, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy.
I hold a Masters of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a Bachelors of Science in Psychology from the University of North Florida, and am currently a Clinical Mental Health Counseling Registered Intern in Florida. If you are looking for a therapist that can accept you for who you are, help with your anxiety, grief, and loss, or help you explore your deeper identity and emotional regulation, then I can help. Together, we'll approach your concerns with curiosity, authenticity, and compassion - and perhaps even a bit of humor. We are all on our own journey discovering who we are. But that doesn't have to be a journey you take alone. I look forward to meeting you!
