Getting started
The fastest way is my Headway profile, where you can check your coverage and pick a time. If you have questions first, call 754.400.0824 or send me a message.
My first priority is making you comfortable. You do not need to arrive with everything figured out or be ready to share your whole life story. We start with what feels most important to you and talk about what you hope will change. By the end, we will have a few first priorities and a sense of whether my approach is a good fit for you.
Adults, including older adults (65+), anywhere in Florida. I offer individual, one-on-one therapy.
A Licensed Clinical Social Worker is a master’s-level mental health professional licensed by the state to provide therapy. You can verify my license (SW27230) with the Florida Department of Health (opens in a new tab).
As a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am qualified to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions within my scope of practice.
A diagnosis is sometimes clinically useful and may also be required for insurance reimbursement.
I still want to understand the person beyond the diagnostic code.
Insurance and cost
I am in network with several plans through Headway. The Insurance page has the current list, and Headway shows your expected cost before you book.
Private pay may be an option. Reach out and we can talk it through. If you pay for therapy yourself, you have the right to a Good Faith Estimate of what it will cost. Details are on the Insurance page.
Sessions
Every session is by secure video, so you can join from home or anywhere private. You need a phone, tablet, or computer with a camera, a steady internet connection, and a private place to talk.
More on online therapy in Florida.
In Florida. I am licensed in Florida, so you need to be located in Florida during each session. Your permanent home can be anywhere in the state.
Weekdays, with daytime and some evening times. You can see open times and book on my Headway profile.
We decide that together, based on what you need and what fits your life, and we adjust it as things change.
No. I am a psychotherapist, not a psychiatrist, so I do not prescribe. If you take medication or think it might help, keep working with your doctor or psychiatrist on that part.
Working together
Early on, we talk about what you want to be different. Then we check in on it along the way.
Sometimes progress is obvious. Sometimes it is quieter, like a hard week that does not knock you down as far as it used to.
If things feel stuck, we talk about that and change the plan.
Then we talk about it.
Therapy is a relationship as well as a clinical service, and not every therapist is right for every person.
I would rather have an honest conversation about what is not working than have you spend three months politely attending therapy you hate.
When possible, I can help identify what kind of provider or treatment may fit better.
Sometimes.
But I am not running a school.
Therapy is a small slice of your week. Life happens during the rest of it.
If there is something useful to practice, notice, track, or try between sessions, we may use it.
The goal is for the work to have a reason, not to give you worksheets for the sake of owning a printer.
No.
Your history matters when it helps us understand what is happening now.
Sometimes the important thing happened twenty years ago.
Sometimes the most relevant problem is what your manager emailed you Tuesday morning.
Therapy can make room for both.
I promise the therapy police will not come.
Talk like yourself.
Privacy and safety
Yes, with a few exceptions the law requires, such as when someone is at serious risk of harm. We go over these at the start so there are no surprises.
Please use my secure, HIPAA compliant Spruce line at (754) 254-2193 or the secure messaging inbox (opens in a new tab), not the contact form or email.
Call or text 988, or call 911 if you are in immediate danger. I am not an emergency service and cannot always respond right away.
