Best Jacksonville therapists near me

Greetings! I am a mental health clinician who specializes in working with individuals who are challenged with PTSD, depression, anxiety, stress, self-defeating thoughts, communication skills, boundary setting, coping skills, and life transitions. I have experience working with individuals and families in various practice settings. I provide Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered Therapy, Solution- Focused Therapy and Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My approach is empowering, direct, and collaborative, customizing treatment modalities to align with the unique needs and goals of each individual. I am committed to meeting clients where they are, creating a safe and supportive environment that facilitates personal healing and growth. I am aware of the stigma created surrounding mental health in vulnerable communities. I believe that seeking therapy is a sign of strength and resiliency. I am honored to be able to support you on your path towards healing and evolving.

Life’s big changes can sometimes feel like juggling flaming swords while riding a unicycle—overwhelming and a little scary. And while many of us are in the same boat of struggling, we all have our own unique way of feeling that storm. With two Master's degrees—one in Family Studies from Texas Woman’s University and another in Counseling from LeTourneau University—I’m also a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a focus on family systems and chemical dependency. Through my work, I’ve helped people tackle challenges like anxiety, depression, family dynamics, relationship struggles, and substance issues. I work with everyone—adolescents, adults, couples, and families—helping you not just survive, but thrive. It takes bravery to ask for help, and guess what? You've already done that! Joy, hope, and recovery are totally within reach, and I’m here to support you in living your life as fully as possible.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I believe that each person has the capacity to heal and grow, and I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients to explore their challenges and develop effective coping mechanisms.
