Therapist in person in Fort Walton Beach & Online across Florida and New Jersey.

Get in touch

You're here because you're ready to dig deeper — even though you're afraid of what you might find. I get it. I do this work because I believe the bravest versions of ourselves are worthy of being seen and heard. Whether you're a sensitive soul feeling alone in a noisy world, a critical thinker who needs some direction, or a creative who can't stop minimizing their talents — I'm here to meet you with compassion, patience, and an open mind.

I want to help you get honest with yourself.

I believe in the resilience of the human spirit.

my approach

The more you trust that you know what's best for you, the easier it becomes to choose the relationships, environments, and career paths that align with your values and fuel your dreams. My work begins with helping you understand the ways your nervous system allows you to adapt and how cultural and societal context shapes how you think, relate, and move through the world. When you have a greater understanding of how you experience safety, you can move through your days with more self-compassion, confidence, and purpose. 

therapy with me is...

relational

Think of our relationship as a partnership — one where we co-conspire to help you live your most authentic life. We'll talk about how we're experiencing one another as much as what's on your mind. You don't have to have it all figured out when you arrive — silence, laughter, anger, tears are all grist for the existential mill.

empowering & encouraging

Together, we'll look at the power dynamics you've been living inside — the ones at work, at home, in your community, in your own head. Then we'll create something different. A space where you practice being the authority in your own life — not because I tell you to, but because you finally feel safe enough to try. I'll be right there, cheering you on -- every brave, messy, beautiful step of the way!

intuitive

Nearly 15 years of travel, meditation, yoga, writing, and bodywork have helped me fine-tune my human instrument — to notice what is well in others and help draw that out. This attunement informs how I show up to every session: grounded, open, present, and eager to hear your stories. My only protocol is to help you ease in and out of the therapeutic environment with intentionality — because how you do that here is how you'll begin to do it everywhere. 

creative & action oriented

I draw from depth psychology, expressive arts, psychodrama, and yogic tradition to help you access what lies beneath the surface and actually practice what you want to do differenly after you have an AH-HA! moment. This approach bypasses your busy analytical brain, makes space for joy, and actively helps you reclaim your imagination--your greatest healing tool!
