Online Therapy for Kids, Teens & Young Adults in Tampa

I am a supportive and empathetic mental health therapist who enjoys providing an array of therapeutic services to those individuals and families in need. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults who are survivors of domestic violence, family conflict, trauma-related incidents, and struggle with emotional and behavioral matters. The therapeutic approach I tend to take is brief-solution focused, trauma-informed, and strength-based. Each session conducted is personalized to fit the individual's needs. My goal is to help others improve upon overall psychological, behavioral, social, spiritual, and developmental health, so that a more flourishing life can be lived and maintained. Every human being is meant to thrive.

Proficient with children, adolescents, & young adults. Skilled navigating life’s challenges, anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger management, stress, goal-setting and self-esteem. My approach is grounded in empathy, teamwork, and evidence-based practices. Ensuring that each client feels heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change. Creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment for the client to explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of self-worth.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about supporting children, teens, and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges. I specialize in working with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, emotional regulation, behavioral challenges, life transitions, self-esteem, or family stress. My goal is to help clients better understand their emotions and build healthy coping skills.

I am passionate about the world of mental health and I have been in this field since 2010. My specialty is substance use and addiction. I am a Master's Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) with the Florida Board. I also have skills in helping clients process symptoms of trauma, ADHD, parenting and identifying coping skills. I offer a non-judgmental and open-minded approach to help build rapport with my clients. I enjoy learning from others and working with diverse cultures. I also have experience assisting adults and children who live with symptoms of trauma. I hold knowledge and training in evidence-based modalities. Healing comes in stages and we all have room to grow. I am happy to take this journey with you.

My experience includes working in school, home, and virtual settings. I started working in the mental health field, because I have a desire to help people. In school, I was placed in a school-based internship, and this taught me to appreciate the perspective that children bring. I feel that it is important to create a comfortable therapeutic environment for clients. Our sessions are a space for them to feel free to express themselves, and also work on becoming the best versions of themselves.

With over 25 years' experience with children and parents/caregivers, I offer a non-judgmental space for clients of any age. I strive to help all clients find their voice, know when to use it and when to just save their own peace of mind. I love to guide others to learn how to express their boundaries with respect. Learning that we all have strengths, even just to say "No" can really help ease that anxiety and pressure. I would be honored to say to you: "How I can help?"

I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where young people can feel safe expressing themselves and learning healthy ways to manage emotions, stress, and life’s challenges. I partner closely with parents offering guidance and practical tools to support growth both in therapy. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each child’s unique needs, helping families build resilience, connection, and confidence together.
