Our therapists offer DBT / dialectical behavior therapy in Clearwater, FL

I am a licensed mental health counselor who strives to create a warm, welcoming, and caring space where you can feel comfortable and understood. I work with teens and adults from all walks of life, supporting them through many different experiences and challenges. Together we set clear goals and work side by side, offering guidance and encouragement along the way. I have a lot of experience helping people manage depression, anxiety, and life transitions, build confidence, heal from trauma, and learn healthy boundaries. My practice is all about making sure you feel safe, supported, and confident as you make personal growth. 

I love to build a strong rapport with clients early on, so they feel safe enough to address the difficult things that may arise in therapy. My approach to therapy primarily involves Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and trauma-informed care. I focus on helping clients feel empowered and ready to take on life's challenges. 

No matter where you are in your journey, you can be confident that you have a partner in this process. Together, we will celebrate your successes, navigate challenges, and build on your strengths to help you move forward. You don't have to face this alone; with support and understanding, you can achieve lasting, meaningful change.

I am a licensed mental health therapist with experience working with children, adolescents, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, TF-CBT, and family systems strategies to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and better understand their emotions. While much of my work focuses on youth and families, I'm also open to working with adults, couples, and individuals seeking support, growth, and meaningful change. 

I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach focused on building practical skills for daily life. Using CBT, TF-CBT, and family systems strategies, I help clients manage anxiety, process trauma, and improve communication. Clients can expect a supportive space to grow, feel understood, and make meaningful, lasting change. 

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and that's OK. You don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to support you at your pace in a safe, understanding space. When you feel ready, I invite you to take the next step toward healing and growth.

I am a registered mental health counselor intern working toward full licensure in Florida. I earned my Master of Science in clinical mental health counseling from Walden University, where I specialized in military families and culture and addictions. I also hold a Bachelor of Health Administration from the University of North Florida, where I graduated with highest honors. I completed a year-long internship at a residential treatment facility specializing in addictions and have experience working with a range of diagnoses, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, OCD, and personality disorders.

I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client, including DBT, CBT, rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing. I believe that a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach keeps clients in the driver's seat—empowering them to find their own solutions.

Reaching out for support takes courage, especially if it's your first time. I'm here to offer a safe, welcoming space where you can heal, and I'd be honored to walk that journey with you.

I am a registered mental health counselor intern (RMHCI) with 3 years of experience supporting clients coping with medical illnesses, grief, family and relationship dynamics, anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and mental health diagnoses on the schizophrenia/psychotic disorder spectrum. I often work with individuals experiencing significant life stressors who are looking for tangible skills to help them manage more effectively.

I earned my Master of Arts in clinical psychology from the University of Central Florida. I utilize a person-centered approach as we begin work together, and integrate modalities such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and existential therapy.

I believe that therapy is a collaborative process, and I would be honored to speak with you and assist you in becoming the ideal version of yourself. Seeking help is an act of courage and vulnerability. I am looking forward to working with you!

As a licensed mental health counselor, I believe prioritizing your mental health is key to feeling more balanced and fulfilled in your life. With 25 years of experience, I work with adolescents, adults, families, and couples who are navigating anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, unable to turn off their mind, or stuck in racing thoughts that make it hard to relax or feel present. I believe therapy should be collaborative and tailored to your specific needs. 

My practice focuses on evidence-based support like CBT for those navigating: Anxiety and Racing Thoughts: Helping you quiet the mind and find peace. Depression: Working through the fog to rediscover motivation and joy. Relationship Challenges: Enhancing communication and resolving conflicts. Stress Management: Developing tools to manage feeling overwhelmed. 

Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach. When we work together, we'll partner in your therapeutic journey. It's important to me that you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being open. I'll be there to listen, offer perspective, gently challenge patterns when needed, and support you as you work toward meaningful change.
