Downtown St. Petersburg Office
Licensed Mental Health Counselor
Certified EMDR Therapist
Relational Life Therapy (RLT) Certified Couples Therapist
I approach therapy from a relational perspective. I believe that we are shaped by our families, and continue to be shaped by our life experiences and the environment around us. Making connections, learning and healing from our past experiences is a pathway forward to creating a more fulfilling future. I work to help my clients do just that in order to develop better relationships with themselves and with others. I am a Certified EMDR Therapist and am also trained in Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). I am trained in Relational Life Therapy and the Gottman Method, an evidence-based approach to couples therapy.
My goal is for individuals and couples to emerge from crisis stronger, wiser, and hopeful as we work together through the counseling process. Life’s challenges can provide opportunities for personal growth and increased understanding. Here you will be met where you are on life’s journey.
It is an honor and a gift to walk alongside clients through their most difficult journey, holding space for them and helping guide them toward the best version of themselves, living their best life. I am a collaborative therapist and strive to meet clients where they are each time they walk through the door, working at their pace in a safe and welcoming space where individuals and couples can work through some of their toughest challenges and concerns.

I received my Master of Arts degree from the University of South Florida. I completed my internship at Suncoast Center for Mental Health and The Tampa Jewish Family Center. I have experience working in a private setting and in Community Mental Health. Prior to my work in as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, I worked in Human Resources, as a School Administrator for a private Montessori School, as well as being a mom raising 2 amazing teenage boys. The variety of my life and work experiences enrich my work as a clinician and allow me to connect with a wide variety of people. My areas of passion include trauma, life transitions, anxiety, depression, parenting and relationship issues.
- As an only child in a Military Family, I had the amazing opportunity to live in the Philippines and Germany growing up and traveled to many beautiful countries. This unique experience has helped me be open-minded and accepting of others. In addition, it has helped me be more flexible and enjoy new experiences.
- I love nature and enjoy being outside. I am as happy at the beach and on the water as in the mountains. Connection with nature grounds me; it is in nature where I find peace.
- I love spending time with my two sons, parents, and friends. Small, intimate gatherings bring me happiness and are how I enjoy spending my time.
- I love yoga. As a registered yoga teacher (RYT-200) I enjoy subbing classes in my free time. The connection between the mind, body, and soul is critical in healing and finding a sense of inner peace and well-being. I believe our body holds our stories, and yoga helps us understand and accept those stories and have the courage to change the outcome.
- I have a thirst for knowledge and am passionate about learning, especially when it comes to mental health and yoga. I am happy to spend hours reading, e-learning, or heading to a seminar. Call me a nerd, but it fills my cup!
