Individual Therapy
Whatever You’re Going Through, You Don't Have to Go Through it Alone
​
I work with individuals (ages 14+) from all walks of life—from those in the high-intensity environment of Baker Act facilities to those finding peace during sessions I've facilitated aboard a sailboat on Boca Ciega Bay. I am proud to provide an LGBTQ+ affirming space for every client I serve.
While my expertise lies in Depression, Anxiety, and Life Transitions, I have a deep focus on:
​
-
Men’s Issues & Emotional Regulation
-
Strategic Coping Skills
-
Career Counseling & Goal Setting
You are the expert on you. I view our work as a co-creative process where I act as your guide. Using a solution-focused framework, we’ll use your personal values as our compass, working step-by-step toward the life you want.
My goal is to eventually work myself out of a job. Success means you’ve gained the tools and confidence to navigate your world without me. Therapy is brave, challenging work, but the reward is a life lived on your own terms. I am deeply honored to walk beside my clients every day as they turn those desired changes into their new reality.

Let’s make sure your speedbumps stay speedbumps—not the thing that throws you off the road.
Family Therapy
Supporting Families at Every Stage—From Those Under One Roof to Adult Families Navigating Changing Roles
​
Family is the foundational support system of our lives, yet it often carries the most complex and unique challenges. I view every family not as a collection of separate individuals, but as an interconnected system where actions, emotions, and interactions at the individual level can shift the balance of the entire family.
​
My role is to hold a safe and balanced space for everyone in the room. I honor each person’s individual perspective and contribution, ensuring that every voice is heard as we explore the shared history and dynamics that shape your family’s unique environment.
​
We work together to identify the specific patterns that may be causing friction. By understanding how these parts fit together, we can find personalized solutions tailored to your family's specific needs—improving how you interact and finding the optimal way to not just coexist, but to genuinely appreciate and enjoy the relationships you share across a lifetime.
OCD Treatment
Reclaiming Your Life from the Cycle of Intrusive Thoughts
OCD is often self-diagnosed as a joke and inappropriately attributed to individual quirks or anxieties. If you are living with OCD, you know that it can be an all-consuming nightmare that seems impossible to beat.
Fortunately, we have clinically proven methods for treating OCD. Chief among these is Exposure Response Prevention Therapy (ERP). Having been trained at one of the nation’s top OCD clinics, I guide you through a detailed process of assessment, diagnosis, planning, and implementing a personalized strategy to overcome your OCD.
ERP is incredibly demanding and difficult work; it is a profound privilege to witness the lasting transformation and relief that comes when committed clients can begin to live their lives on their own terms.
Adventure Therapy
Healing Beyond the Four Walls
Traditional office settings aren’t the only place where profound change happens. Sometimes, the most impactful breakthroughs occur when we step out of our routine and into the elements.
Adventure therapy can be as simple as sitting on a park bench for your session, a "walk and talk" through a local trail, or as engaged as kayaking the Weeki Wachee River or fishing along the coast. This approach uses the environment as a co-therapist, offering a dynamic space to:
• Break through stagnation: Moving your body helps move your mind when you feel "stuck" or overwhelmed.
• Build real-time resilience: Navigating the outdoors provides immediate, tangible metaphors for life’s unpredictable challenges.
• Practice mindfulness in motion: Finding calm and focus in the present moment, guided by the rhythm of the natural world.
This is a collaborative and co-creative process designed for those who find traditional "talk therapy" limiting. Together, we step away from the distractions of daily life to find clarity, perspective, and a renewed sense of agency.
