I provide counseling for adults and couples throughout Florida through secure Telehealth, along with limited in-person counseling at my Lakewood Ranch office. Whether meeting online or in person, my approach is thoughtful, structured, and tailored to the needs of each individual or couple.
My Lakewood Ranch office provides an in-person option for clients in Lakewood Ranch, Bradenton, Sarasota, and surrounding communities. In-person appointments are available on select dates and may be combined with regular Telehealth counseling or used for extended or intensive sessions when appropriate.

I work with individuals and couples navigating relationship concerns, infidelity recovery, anxiety, life transitions, and personal and spiritual growth. Many of my clients are thoughtful, motivated adults who want to better understand themselves, strengthen their relationships, and create healthier patterns over time.
Christian Counseling in Florida
For clients who request it, counseling may be Christian or faith-based counseling, with faith integrated as a meaningful and central part of the process. This is done in a way that is thoughtful, grounded, and clinically sound. I have extensive experience working with individuals and couples who want their faith to be an important part of their counseling work, having worked 17 years in the Counseling Ministry of Southeast Christian Church in Louisville, Kentucky earlier in my career.
To learn more about my approach, see my Christian Counseling page.

Counseling for Individuals and Couples
My work is grounded in evidence-based practice and informed by over 30 years of clinical experience. I provide counseling for individuals and couples seeking a thoughtful, structured approach that leads to meaningful and lasting change.
For individuals, counseling may focus on anxiety, stress, emotional overwhelm, relationship patterns, or navigating important life transitions. Many clients are high-functioning on the outside but feel stuck, depleted, or disconnected internally. To learn more about my approach to individual counseling, see Individual Counseling.
For couples, counseling focuses on improving communication, strengthening connection, and addressing patterns that create distance or conflict. I also work with couples navigating the impact of infidelity, providing structured support for stabilization, clarity, and next steps. To learn more about my approach to marriage counseling, see Couples and Marriage Counseling. To learn more about my approach to Infidelity Recovery Counseling, see my page.
My Approach to Counseling
I use an integrative, evidence-based approach that draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), attachment-based therapy, somatic therapy, and neuroscience-informed treatment. For couples, I incorporate the Gottman Method, one of the most well-researched approaches to relationship counseling.
This approach allows us to address not only thoughts and behaviors, but also emotional patterns, relational dynamics, and the ways stress and experience are held in the body. The goal is not simply insight, but change that is experienced and sustained over time.
Online Counseling Across Florida
Online counseling allows Florida residents to access high-quality, professional care without the need to travel. Sessions are conducted through a secure, HIPAA-compliant platform and follow the same clinical standards as in-person therapy.
Telehealth is well-suited for individuals and couples who value privacy, flexibility, and consistency.
