Whole person healing for a joyful life!

Therapy for Individuals
As a professional counselor, I help people like you reconnect to your original sense of belonging, “lovability,” and self-worth. I help you heal and come back to yourself.
Proudly, I will tell you that I am not your typical psychotherapist. I am an empathetic rebel and a healer on a quest for joy. Nothing scares me, and I value justice, equality, honesty, integrity, and love above all else.
With a blend of somatic therapy (body-centered practices that honor the mind-body connection), EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), and Play Therapy, we find the approaches that enable you to come back to your own sense of wholeness.
Ultimately, I have one wish for you: you will reconnect to your inner light and joyfulness.
It is possible to heal past emotional trauma so you can tap into your own inner strength and resources and rebuild familial bonds.
I offer in-person counseling and therapeutic healing retreats for individuals in Gulf Breeze, Florida.
Support and Guidance for Parents
Restore Peace and Harmony in Your Home
As a Play Therapist helping children and families for over a decade and a parent myself, I help empower parents to restore peace and joy in their home.
Parenting is a rewarding journey, but it can also be immensely challenging - especially in the aftermath of a pandemic and with the complexities of modern technology.
I support parents whose children are struggling behaviorally and/or emotionally. I help parents learn how to help their child regulate when they are upset and provide psyco-education to help prevent major meltdowns and fights.
So many parents come to me saying they have “tried everything.” I help parents learn how to regulate their own autonomic nervous systems so they can effectively co-regulate their child. Once parents understand how to identify when their child is leaving their window-of-tolerance, they can intervene to avoid big outbursts.
It is possible to restore peace and harmony into your home and for families to enjoy each other again.

Therapeutic Healing Retreats
Restore and Heal on the Beautiful Beaches of the Gulf of Mexico
The most powerful therapeutic experiences might just happen outside the office, unbound by the traditional 45-minute appointment.
If you’re at a crossroads in your life or just feeling stuck, a Therapeutic Healing Retreat could be the breakthrough you need to move forward again.
I am excited to offer individuals the opportunity to schedule a personalized Therapeutic Healing Retreat. Select either a single day or 2-3 days depending on your specific needs.
As a lover of nature and a believer that Mother Earth is one of our greatest healers and teachers, I love taking people outside. The stunning, white-sand beaches of the Gulf of Mexico provide the perfect setting to restore your soul.
Therapeutic Healing Retreats might also include EMDR Therapy, expressive art, Sandplay, meditation and other experiential therapies. Each experience is tailored to meet your therapeutic needs and your own comfort level.
Retreats are open to current and new clients. Contact me to discuss your options.

FAQs
Do you accept insurance?
I have intentionally chosen not to contract with any insurance companies. I am happy to provide you with a superbill to submit to your insurance company.
How do retreats work?
Therapeutic healing retreats are individualized to you and your unique needs. We will work together during preparation sessions to come up with a loose framework for the duration of the retreat with the understanding that sometimes things come up during our time together that present the opportunity to explore a different path. I like to keep intensives fluid and you get to decide where we go along the way. Retreats are very experiential with an element of magic and not easily explained or understood by words alone. Are you ready for some healing magic? Schedule your free consultation today….
What should I expect with virtual EMDR Therapy?
Virtual EMDR therapy is just as effective as in-person EMDR therapy. Because you are not in the room with me, I take extra precautions to make sure you have what you need before we start reprocessing and check in more frequently throughout the session.
Are in-person sessions available?
Yes! In October 2023, Path to Joyfulness opened a brick-and-mortar practice in Gulf Breeze, Florida and is welcoming in-person clients to experience our sacred, healing space.
