Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and retired Navy Chief Petty Officer. I have a master's degree in counseling and psychology and over 14 years of experience as a therapist. I am currently located in Pensacola, Florida. My passion is providing individual counseling services to adults and teens. I specialize in helping people through many of life's emotional challenges, such as anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential issues. Currently, I work exclusively with individual adult clients (not couples or children).
Many people face various emotional challenges, wanting solutions for the here and now. Anxiety, depression, trauma, and existential issues can be the biggest culprits. Those problems often stem from the past and may be rooted in generational family dysfunction. As a result, buried feelings, isolation, fear of abandonment, people-pleasing, and getting involved in unhealthy relationships become problematic. I specialize in various therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR).
If you feel stuck and seek relief, I will happily work with you and help you reach your full potential.
