You don't have to know exactly what you need or have everything figured out before reaching out. Maybe anxiety, depression, past experiences, or difficult relationship patterns are affecting how you feel and function. Or maybe life is going pretty well, but you're questioning a decision, reconsidering your direction, or wondering what else might be possible.

My approach may be a good fit if you're looking for more than a place to talk. Perhaps you've tried therapy before without experiencing the changes you hoped for, or you're looking for someone who can help you see things from a different perspective, recognize patterns you may be overlooking, and make meaningful changes in your life.

You don't have to make that decision alone. A free consultation gives us an opportunity to talk about what you're experiencing, what you're hoping to accomplish, and whether therapy or coaching is the better fit for your needs.

Therapy and coaching can both help you better understand yourself, recognize patterns, and make meaningful changes in your life. But they’re two separate services, with a different focus and a different way of approaching the work.

Therapy can address mental health concerns such as anxiety, depression, and trauma, while also providing space for personal growth and self-discovery. Coaching focuses on where you are now, what you want for yourself, and how to make intentional choices about what comes next. Coaching doesn’t diagnose or treat mental health conditions, so if you’re working through something like anxiety, depression, or trauma, therapy is usually the better place to start.

You don’t have to be struggling to benefit from coaching. Maybe you’re facing an important decision, questioning a relationship or direction in life, or simply wondering what else might be possible.

I can help you determine which approach best fits your needs and goals during a free consultation.

Learn More About Coaching

My approach goes beyond traditional talk therapy, combining advanced trauma training, specialized treatments like EMDR and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and a whole-person perspective that considers more than just your symptoms.

I believe effective therapy should be active, collaborative, and tailored to you. Rather than simply talking about what's happening each week, we work to understand and address the underlying experiences and patterns contributing to your struggles.

Many of my clients begin experiencing meaningful relief within the first three months of treatment, and some are ready to conclude therapy around that time.

My goal isn't to keep you coming back week after week indefinitely. It's to help you make changes that last beyond our sessions, so you can feel more at ease, build healthier relationships, and experience greater freedom in your everyday life.

As a Board Certified Coach, I also bring 20 years of clinical experience to my coaching work. That experience helps me recognize patterns, ask more informed questions, and offer perspectives you may not have considered. Coaching is a separate service with a different focus, but the same commitment to thoughtful, individualized work and meaningful progress.

I help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, perfectionism, relationship difficulties, and challenging life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, stuck in painful patterns, or simply not like yourself anymore, you don't have to navigate it alone.

I look beyond symptoms to understand the experiences, relationships, and underlying patterns that may be contributing to how you feel. Together, we'll work toward meaningful relief, healthier relationships, and a greater sense of emotional well-being.

Yes! I offer in-person therapy at my office in Shalimar, Florida, serving Fort Walton Beach, Destin, Niceville, and surrounding communities. I also provide secure telehealth therapy sessions for adults throughout Florida.

Coaching is available virtually to clients across the United States and internationally, as well as in person for those who are local.

Whether you're interested in therapy or coaching, we can discuss the options during your free consultation and determine what works best for you.
