My story in a nutshell is- I was married young and divorced young due to my partner's infidelity and his reluctance to work through it. I experienced so many big feelings for the first time that led me down a dark road full of anxious & suicidal thoughts, body image & self-esteem issues, hopelessness, & anger. I can remember feeling so out of control. I kept asking myself what I did wrong and why I wasn't "good enough". I had to experience so many life transitions at the same time that came without a warning. That's when I started therapy for the first time and it helped me realize in a world full of uncontrollables, we can figure out how to gain control and live happy and fulfilling lives.
And that is exactly why I chose to become a therapist. To help people like you and I learn how to grow from the hard stuff and gain control of your life. You are so much stronger than you think and I want to help you realize that.
I'm the therapist that will be your hype girl when you need it, challenge you when you don't know you need it & validate you always. Be prepared for a mix of sarcasm and humor. If you have not liked other therapy experiences or if you find yourself typically being more resistant in therapy- I'm your girl. My style is more conversational and is individualized to your needs.
Random Things I Like:
Kayaking, fishing, going to the beach, morning walks with my furchild-Stryker; coffee; karaoke, quality time with friends & family, scary movies, watching Tampa Bay Sports- Go Rays & Lightning!, weight training, sheets straight from the dryer, coming home to amazon packages, and attempting to complete DIY projects.
I use a holistic and trauma informed lens while integrating CBT, ACT, Relational Therapy, ERP, Solution-Focused, & Gottman interventions. I encourage collaborative care with other holistic wellness services such as chiropractic, acupuncture, functional medicine, massage, etc.
