My Approach to Helping
I promise not to sit silently and nod my head. I will actively engage with you, ask thoughtful questions, brainstorm solutions, and even share a laugh or two. I want therapy with me to feel like a conversation with someone who genuinely cares – because I do! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, which means I get to have meaningful conversations with incredible people. It is an honor I do not take lightly. I help clients manage anxiety, resolve relationship issues, and improve self-esteem. I also offer specialized support for religious trauma, LGBTQ+ concerns, and neurodivergent challenges.
I believe letting go of what no longer serves you makes space for what will. I utilize a variety of evidence-based therapeutic methods, including narrative therapy to understand your life story, cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhealthy habits, and emotion focused therapy to help you heal from painful emotions.
I understand finding the right therapist can be a challenge.
I offer free, 15-minute phone calls to new clients so that I can answer all questions you may have about myself, my services, or therapy in general. Even if I am not the best fit for you, I am always happy to give you some tips to find the best therapist for your needs.
More Info About My Practice
I founded Philosophie Therapy on the belief that everyone has their own unique way of seeing the world— their own "Philosophie." But life has a way of clouding our intuition, filling us with doubt, and making us feel disconnected from our own power. Philosophie Therapy is a space to return to yourself, untangle what no longer serves you, and build a life that feels true to who you are.
Philosophie Therapy is a fully online private practice serving clients across Florida. Through thoughtful, intentional therapy, I help clients find clarity, self-trust, and a deeper understanding of what truly matters to them. Every session is designed to be a supportive space where growth is possible and change is within reach.
My View on the Purpose of Psychotherapy
Psychotherapy is a series of intentional conversations that can literally change the way your brain functions by unraveling and rewiring neural pathways. Our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are shaped by past experiences, and sometimes, those experiences create patterns that no longer serve us. Therapy helps untangle those patterns, offering new perspectives and a greater sense of agency over your life. At its core, therapy is about self-trust. It?s about learning what?s within your control, letting go of what isn?t, and stepping into a life that feels intentional, aligned, and fulfilling.
How My Own Struggles Made Me a Better Therapist
I know what it?s like to feel anxious, overwhelmed, and stuck in patterns that don?t serve you. Growing up, I was incredibly sensitive and often felt like the world was too loud and uncertain. I had to learn how to navigate my own anxiety, build self-trust, and find a balance between honoring my emotions and not letting them control me.
Learning to release what I couldn?t control and harness the power of what I could deeply informs my work as a therapist. I don?t just understand these struggles from a clinical perspective; I know what it?s like to sit in them. I also know, firsthand, that healing is possible and that sometimes, all it takes is the right insight at the right moment to shift everything.
Because of my own experiences, I approach therapy with deep empathy, warmth, and a strong belief that every client has the capacity to grow. I see patterns, I offer direct and intentional feedback, and I help my clients build a sense of self-trust that extends far beyond the therapy room.
