Are You Feeling Stuck? Overwhelmed? Directionless? Disconnected? We all encounter moments in life when we feel challenged or wish things were different. Whether it’s struggles in your career, difficulties in relationships, or unexpected life changes, it can feel overwhelming. Sometimes, it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what’s wrong—we may simply feel disconnected or unfulfilled, lacking the passion we once had for life. As a therapist, my role is to help you uncover what makes life meaningful and fulfilling for you. Together, we will work to identify and navigate the painful memories, thoughts, and emotions that may be holding you back from living your best life. About Me Before opening my own practice, I spent 14 years working at Tampa General Hospital, providing care in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My experiences working with individuals from all walks of life have deepened my understanding of how essential it is to tailor therapy to meet each client’s unique needs. I earned my education and clinical training at Samford University (BA), The University of Alabama at Birmingham (MA and PhD), and the University of Florida (clinical internship). I am committed to using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to address the thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and traumas that may be impacting your life. I believe in a collaborative approach, where we work together to achieve your goals in a supportive and judgment-free environment. You will always have space to speak openly and candidly about your concerns, knowing that I am dedicated to maintaining the highest level of confidentiality and respect. Health Psychology Throughout my career, I have specialized in helping individuals cope with generalized anxiety, depression, chronic medical conditions, and trauma. Additionally, I spent several years in a bariatric clinic and continue to provide support to individuals preparing for or adjusting to life after bariatric surgery. Pregnancy, Postpartum, and Menopause During my time at the hospital, I had the privilege of working with new and expectant mothers, both in inpatient and outpatient settings. I have received advanced training in addressing issues such as pregnancy-related anxiety, postpartum depression, trauma, and loss. I also have a deep understanding of the physical and emotional changes that accompany menopause and am here to help you navigate this transition with support and care. Executive Therapy and Career Burnout I also have extensive experience working with executives, physicians, attorneys, and other professionals to address the mental health challenges related to work-life balance and career burnout. Together, we can create strategies to help you thrive both personally and professionally. Virtual and In-Person Therapy I am pleased to offer telehealth sessions for individuals located anywhere within the state of Florida, as well as in-person sessions in South Tampa. If you are considering therapy or would like to determine if we are a good fit, I invite you to schedule a free 10-minute consultation. For those seeking a pre-surgical evaluation, please call 813-461-5955 to schedule your appointment. Fees I am in-network with Aetna. For those who are self-pay, I provide superbills that can be submitted to your insurance for out-of-network reimbursement.
