Many of my clients look like they have it together—but inside, they feel stuck, anxious, or emotionally overwhelmed in their relationships. I help adults untangle painful patterns rooted in emotional neglect, people-pleasing, or past relationships that felt confusing or unsafe. Together, we’ll slow down, go deep, and help you get to the root of the issue.

Different phases in life can feel stressful, anxiety-provoking, or nearly defeating. Finding a counselor can feel like a difficult step, but a step in the positive direction for growth and more self-compassion and understanding. Finding a counselor who can create a supportive and safe environment for growth is essential. Whether it is due to life adjustments such as, changes in relationships or your environment that are causing feelings of anxiety, stress or depression, it is essential for a counselor to establish a role that is conducive for growth, safety, and trust. Becoming a client's advocate and support is a crucial.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I am also a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have experience in populations who are impacted by grief and loss, trauma, sexual abuse.

I work with adults, couples, moms, and Black women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, burnout, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. As a mom myself, I understand the weight of balancing caregiving, relationships, work, and your own emotional well-being. I’m especially passionate about supporting Black women as they navigate the pressures of being “strong,” people-pleasing, and learning to prioritize themselves without guilt.

My practice is inclusive, affirming, and judgment-free. I proudly support LGBTQIA+ individuals, nontraditional and kink-positive relationships, and clients exploring intimacy and sexual wellness through sex therapy. My goal is to create a space where you can show up fully as yourself.

Hello! Welcome to your space of healing :) I use holistic and evidence based approaches to get through all of the ways we try to "protect" ourselves from deeper healing. Lets take a look at whats underneath together

Everyone deserves a space where they feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow. As a licensed mental health therapist, I’m dedicated to creating that space for my clients, fostering a journey of healing and transformation.

Originally from the Midwest, I found my heart and home in Florida when I moved here for school in 2014. The sunshine, warm community, and opportunities to grow professionally made me stay! When I’m not working, I love spending time with friends and family—movie nights, game nights, and afternoons at the park with my nephew are some of my favorite ways to recharge and stay connected.

With over five years of experience, I’ve worked closely with children, adolescents, young adults, and families to address a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, PTSD, grief, sexual trauma, childhood trauma, self-esteem struggles, bullying, and LGBTQ+ issues. I also have experience supporting individuals with autism, antisocial personality disorder, and schizophrenia.

In the over 18 years of working in behavioral health as a behavior analyst, a licensed mental health counselor, and now as a licensed clinical psychologist, I have had the privilege of collaborating with children, adolescents, adults, and parents in a variety of settings and in various stages of life. Regardless of the setting, what I have found is that we are all attempting to use what we see as our best resources to navigate and improve our world or the world of those that we care about.

I am a bilingual (English/Japanese) licensed mental health counselor and have over 10 years of experience helping people unpack old unwanted patterns while building a more empowered mind. I had the privilege to work extensively with active duty Marines and Sailors and their family members in the last six years. Now I am ready to work with clients utilizing the knowledge and skills I acquired through serving people who served our country facing life and various emotional challenges.

Mareayna is a licensed therapist with 7 years of experience specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and stress management. With a Master’s in Counseling Psychology from Webster, she employs evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care, to empower clients on their healing journeys. Fostering a warm, supportive environment, helps individuals navigate their emotions and develop effective coping strategies for lasting well-being.

I enjoy working as a team with clients. I also enjoy seeing people complete their goals.

I graduated in 2003 with a masters in social work. I’ve worked in an array of facilities from substance abuse, the court system, veterans affairs, and now private practice. I am solution based and desiring to help people reduce and extinguish mental health symptoms. I specialize in trauma/PTSD, grief, depression and anxiety. I work primarily with women but always welcoming males to my practice.

I love serving others by finding the root of their issues so they can actually feel better. It’s really the most rewarding thing I do. Where most mental health practitioners fail, I can succeed!

I think helping in just in my blood. I come from a family of public servants so it was just ingrained in me to serve others. Thankfully combining functional medicine and psychology can help me do just that.

I am pretty lucky that my passion for helping others has translated into a thriving practice!
