Trauma-informed therapy rooted in what works.

Psychotherapy for adolescents, adults, and couples in Saint Petersburg, FL

“Neuroscience research shows the only way to change the way we feel is by becoming aware of our inner experience and learning to befriend what is going on inside ourselves.”

— Bessel van der Kolk

You deserve to feel worthy, peaceful, and whole

Perhaps you feel stuck like no matter what you do you can't find your way.

Or maybe you feel empty and numb. You don’t even know who you are anymore, or maybe you never really knew. You don’t know your wants or needs. You’re not sure of how to feel better. You want someone to show the way.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Life’s challenges can be difficult to manage in isolation. Everyone can benefit from having someone in their corner to help them along the way. The therapy hour is 100% your time to speak your truth and be fully heard. I know that the idea of sharing your truth to a stranger can sometimes feel daunting and scary. It is my intention to honor your process with the utmost care, respect, and regard. We will go deep in order to get to the root of things, and we will also share moments of laughter and joy along the way. I am here for you when you are ready.

Here’s How I Can Help

Individual Counseling

Therapy will vary depending on unique needs; however, all therapy at Rooted Wellness Center is trauma-informed. Trauma-informed therapy seeks to discover what happened in someone’s life to create the thoughts, feelings, responses, and symptoms that are distressing. When we uncover the root through a compassionate lens, hope is created because we now understand the full picture and what is needed for transformative change.

I work with individuals ages 13+ from diverse backgrounds. Some issues I commonly work with include:

Trauma
Depression
Anxiety (generalized anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder)
ADHD
Codependency
Relationship Issues
Self-worth/Self-esteem
Inner Child Work
Identity
LGBTQIA+ issues

Couples Counseling

Couples counseling is helpful for couples at all stages of relationship. Counseling will vary depending on your needs; however, you can expect discussions about how to repair after conflict, how to connect, how to improve communication so both people felt heard, how to talk about and improve intimacy, and how to create lasting change in your relationship.

I am experienced in working with heterosexual monogamous couples, as well as LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous couples. All relationship structures are welcome!

My Style

If you are looking for a down to earth therapist who has the expertise to guide you and who will support you in your goals, then look no further! My style is a blend of gentleness and directness because both are needed to grow. I ask you to share your imperfections and authentic self with me, and I will do the same. I show up with my humanness in session, along with science-based knowledge and thought-provoking questions. Therapy is a journey we go on together, and I will be present with you every step along the way.
