Yes. I offer in-person therapy in the Carrollwood area of Tampa, Florida, and secure virtual sessions for anyone located in the state of Florida. Both options are fully compliant with all privacy and confidentiality standards.

I work with a wide range of concerns, including:
• Trauma and PTSD
• Addiction and recovery
• Anxiety and stress
• Depression
• Relationship and attachment issues
• Men’s issues
• Self-esteem, identity, and life transitions
• Negative thoughts and emotional overwhelm

I also offer EMDR therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, cognitive-behavioral strategies, and practical, strengths-based support.

Both. I accept Aetna, Cigna, BCBS, United Healthcare, and more through the Alma platform. Alma handles all verification, billing, and claims on your behalf.

If you prefer, I also offer private-pay options with session rates at $150 per session. Each session is 50-60 minutes.

You can contact me and we can schedule a session. Or you can call or text me at (656)789-3112. I always answer within 24 hours.

The first session is a calm, structured meeting where we:
• Discuss what brings you to therapy
• Explore your goals, stressors, and strengths
• Build safety and rapport
• Begin creating a treatment plan that fits your needs

You won’t have to “have everything figured out”—I guide you through the process step-by-step.

You don’t have to bring anything, but a few items can be helpful:

• Primary care provider information if you’d like me to collaborate with another professional on your behalf.

• A list of any medications you’re currently taking, including dosage, if you feel comfortable sharing that.

• If you want me to speak with anyone outside of your care (such as a doctor or another provider), I’ll need you to complete a Release of Information form before any communication occurs.

Otherwise, just bring yourself. I’ll guide you through everything you need during the intake process.

Yes. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and integrate it into treatment when appropriate. EMDR is effective for trauma, negative self-beliefs, painful memories, anxiety, and other distressing life experiences.

Standard sessions are 50–60 minutes.
Extended EMDR processing sessions can be scheduled upon request.

I understand that life happens and schedules can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. This allows me to offer the time to another client who may be waiting.

Cancellations made with less than 24 hours’ notice, or missed appointments without notice, may be subject to the full session fee.

If an emergency or unexpected situation comes up, just let me know — I’m always open to discussing your circumstances so we can find a reasonable solution.

AccordionMost clients begin with weekly sessions to build momentum and clarity. As progress improves, we may transition to bi-weekly or monthly maintenance sessions—always at your pace. Content

Yes. I frequently support teens (16+) and young adults, especially around stress, identity challenges, transitions, relationships, and building resilience.

Absolutely. Everything shared in therapy is confidential with very few legal exceptions (such as immediate safety concerns). I explain all confidentiality guidelines clearly during the first session.

My style is:
• Compassionate and grounded
• Direct without being harsh
• Collaborative rather than prescriptive
• Rooted in mindfulness, EMDR, CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed care
• Centered on empowering people, building resilience, and helping you create a new chapter in your life story

Yes. Research consistently shows that therapy helps people reduce symptoms, understand their patterns, improve relationships, develop insight, and create healthier, more fulfilling lives. Many clients notice meaningful changes within a few weeks.

That’s completely normal. You don’t need to prepare anything. I’ll help guide the conversation with questions, insights, and grounding tools.

Most people are. Therapy is a vulnerable step, but also a powerful one. You’re not expected to be perfect—just willing to show up. My goal is to help you feel supported, understood, and safe from the very first session.

Yes. Whether you’re interested in EMDR, trauma-focused therapy, mindfulness approaches, or structured cognitive-behavioral work, I can tailor sessions to your goals.

You’ll likely know when we meet. I bring a balance of being kind, considerate, and respectful, while also offering direct, professional, and clinical guidance when needed. I’m open to feedback and truly value building a strong therapeutic relationship.

The most important part of therapy is the rapport we create together. You get to make the judgment call about whether working with me feels supportive and safe for you. And if at any point you decide my services aren’t the right fit, that’s completely okay—I’ll always respect your choice and can help you explore other options if needed.
