Therapy and Hope

I believe you’re here - right here, right now - for a reason. You are already beginning to take a step in a healthier direction by seeking therapy. You’re tired and you’ve struggled, but you are not ready to give up. You are an overcomer.

I am here for you. I want to support you as you work toward a brighter tomorrow for yourself, for your family, for your relationship.

Let’s begin, together.

Living my Values

I live my life and do my therapeutic work guided by the values of connection, communication, authenticity, and growth. These are values I have come to embrace through my own life experiences, but also values that enhance my interactions with clients.

I see the world much differently than I would if I was not in this profession. This perspective has been invaluable for me and causes me to want to continue to help as many people as I can through the connections we build in our work together.

I have spent more than ten years from 2011-2022 working with incarcerated or formerly incarcerated individuals in an outpatient treatment court setting and in the local jails in our tri-county area of Sarasota, Manatee and Desoto counties here in Florida. This work came to be extremely meaningful for me and introduced me to experiences that I never thought I’d have, and never realized I would love.

I typically always end up in positions of leadership, even back to my days in college working in the security dispatch for our campus, to working retail in a home improvement store and being in charge of cashiers and customer service, then to my role in mental health and substance use disorder treatment going back to 2008. I have been a team leader, supervisor over one progra, manager over many programs and clinicians and director over several programs, people and locations. I have learned many leadership skills and what it truly means to lead by example.

I try to do therapy the same way - I lead by example and am willing to try and have likely already practiced most of the coping skills I can teach you. I have sought therapy myself, read books first before I recommend them, and am always wanting to improve myself and grow into the best, healthiest version of myself.

We are all a work in progress. I would love to do the work together with you to help you best the best version of you that you can be.
