A safe place to begin again

Life brings moments that can feel overwhelming — grief that won't lift, anxiety that won't quiet, relationships that feel strained beyond repair. You don't have to navigate those moments alone.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Gainesville, I provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where you can be completely yourself. My approach is rooted in the belief that every person has the capacity for growth, and that healing happens best within a trusting therapeutic relationship.

Client-centered care — your goals and pace guide every session

Evidence-informed approaches — tailored to what works for you

Support for life's hardest seasons

Every person's journey is unique. I offer a range of therapeutic services to meet you where you are and walk alongside you toward where you want to be.

Anxiety & Stress

When worry becomes constant and stress feels unmanageable, therapy can help you develop practical tools and a calmer relationship with your thoughts.

Depression

Feeling weighed down, empty, or disconnected? You don't have to face it alone. Together, we'll explore what's beneath the surface and work toward meaningful change.

Relationships

Whether it's a partnership, family dynamic, or pattern of feeling disconnected, relationship challenges can be understood and healed in a supportive space.

Grief & Loss

Losing someone or something vital changes everything. Grief doesn't follow a timeline, and neither should healing. I offer a compassionate space to process and honor your loss.

Self-Discovery

Sometimes the hardest journey is the one inward. If you're questioning who you are, what you want, or how to live more authentically, therapy can be your compass.

Life Transitions

Graduation, career change, relocation, retirement — transitions can be both exciting and destabilizing. Let's find your footing and build the support you need.

How we'll work together

Taking the first step is often the hardest part. Here's what to expect as we begin this journey together.

01

Reach Out

Call or email to schedule a brief introductory conversation. I'll answer your questions and help you decide if we're the right fit.

02

First Session

Our initial meeting is about getting to know each other. We'll discuss what brought you in and begin identifying your goals for therapy.

03

Build a Plan

Together, we'll create a personalized approach that honors your unique story, values, and pace — no cookie-cutter treatment plans.

04

Grow & Heal

Through ongoing sessions, we'll work toward the changes you're seeking, celebrating progress and adjusting as needed along the way.

Common questions

Starting therapy can feel uncertain. Here are answers to some of the most common questions I hear from new clients.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to meet and get to know each other. We'll talk about what's bringing you to therapy, your background, and what you hope to get out of our work together. There's no pressure to have everything figured out — just come as you are.
Please call the office to discuss insurance and payment options. I'm happy to work with you to find a path forward that fits your situation.
There's no one-size-fits-all answer. Some clients find relief in just a few sessions, while others benefit from longer-term support. We'll discuss your goals and revisit them regularly so you always know where you stand.
Absolutely. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship. What you share in our sessions stays between us, with the standard legal exceptions related to safety. We'll review this in detail during our first meeting.
More than normal — it's incredibly common. Many people feel a mix of hope and apprehension before their first session. That's okay. I'll do my best to make our first meeting comfortable and straightforward, and we'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
