Therapy Services
Individual, Couples, and Family Therapy in St. Augustine, FL
Finding the right kind of support can feel overwhelming, and therapy looks different for everyone. I offer a calm, compassionate space to help you explore what’s going on, understand patterns, and begin making meaningful changes. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, or family dynamics, my goal is to walk alongside you at a pace that feels safe and manageable.
Below are the main ways I work with adults, adolescents, and families. Click any link to learn more about each type of therapy and how it might support you.
Anxiety Therapy
Anxiety can feel like constant worry, tension, or a sense that you’re always “on edge.” In therapy, we slow down to understand what’s underneath and develop practical tools to feel steadier and more in control.
Depression Therapy
Depression can show up as low energy, heaviness, or a disconnection from what matters most. Together, we’ll explore what’s happening beneath the surface and create space for insight, self-compassion, and motivation to re-engage with life.
Trauma Therapy
Trauma therapy provides a supportive space to explore the impact of past experiences on your thoughts, emotions, and body. Together, we focus on building safety, understanding patterns, and gently supporting healing in a way that feels steady rather than overwhelming.
Couples Counseling
Relationships can be challenging, and patterns of miscommunication, disconnection, or repeated conflict can feel impossible to break. Couples therapy offers a guided, safe space to improve communication, repair connection, and build a stronger partnership.
Family Counseling
Families go through transitions, stress, and conflict that can affect every member. Family counseling provides support for better understanding, healthier communication, and practical strategies to navigate challenges together.
Adolescents & Teens
Counseling for adolescents and teens offers a safe, supportive space to navigate the challenges of growing up. Therapy helps teens explore emotions, build coping skills, improve communication, and develop a stronger sense of self during a time of change and transition.
Addiction
Therapeutic support for individuals and families affected by substance use and addictive behaviors, focused on understanding underlying patterns, reducing shame, and developing healthier coping strategies that support long-term recovery and meaningful change.
Major Life Changes
Life transitions and changes can bring about a variety of challenges. I provide support for issues such as loss, empty nest syndrome, divorce, and coping with difficult life events and changes. My treatment approaches include supportive therapy, encouragement, empathy, coaching, and other tailored methods to help you navigate these transitions with resilience and grace.
Bipolor & Mood Disorders
Supportive therapy for individuals experiencing bipolar disorder or other mood disorders, helping clients better understand mood shifts, regulate emotions, strengthen relationships, and build practical tools for stability and daily functioning.
Special Needs Adults
Individualized therapy for adults with developmental, cognitive, or neurological differences, with a focus on emotional regulation, self-confidence, independence, and navigating life’s challenges in a respectful and supportive environment.
Support for Families Experiencing a Loved One with Mental Illness
Therapy for families impacted by a loved one’s mental illness, offering education, emotional support, and practical tools to improve communication, strengthen boundaries, and navigate complex family dynamics with greater clarity and compassion.
Support for Families Experiencing a Loved One with Dementia
Emotional support and guidance for families caring for a loved one with dementia, addressing caregiver stress, grief, and role changes while helping families build resilience, communication, and sustainable coping strategies.
