Counselor, PhD, NCC, CST, LMHC-QS (he/him)

Are you feeling stuck, misunderstood, or overwhelmed? Whether you're navigating relationship challenges, work stress, personal growth, or concerns around sexual health and intimacy, I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore what matters most to you. I work with individuals facing anxiety, burnout, self-worth struggles, and life transitions, and I bring particular expertise in sexual health and intimacy as a certified sex therapist. This includes support around desire, communication, identity, and connection, for both individuals and couples. I also work with pilots, aviation professionals, first responders, politicians and public administrators, and other security-aware individuals managing unique career pressures, with a strong commitment to confidentiality and care.

My approach is person-centered and cognitive-behavioral, grounded in your values and priorities as we collaborate toward your goals. Whether you're here to explore your sexuality, improve relationships, manage stress, or grow into a more authentic version of yourself, I’m here to help you reconnect, refocus, and move forward with clarity and purpose.

Education and Background

I hold a PhD in Counseling from George Washington University and am certified in Rational-Emotive Behavior Therapy. I am co-founder of the Association of Counseling Sexology and Sexual Wellness and founding Editor of the Journal of Counseling Sexology and Sexual Wellness. For three years, while living in NJ, I also served as Director of a Partial Hospitalization Day Program for individuals with chronic and persistent mental illness. Outside of my clinical work, I am a board member of the Pilot Mental Health Campaign and Clear Skies Ahead and am Chairman of the Board for The Arc Jacksonville.

Reach out today; I’m here to help you create a life that feels authentic and fulfilling.

Counselor, RMHCI (she/her)

I’m Christina, a mental health counselor dedicated to providing compassionate and individualized care that fosters a safe and supportive environment. With a person-centered approach, I believe in the importance of creating a space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. By incorporating creative interventions (art, writing, and other expressive techniques), I encourage clients to engage in the therapeutic process in ways that resonate with them personally. I am committed to honoring each client’s journey, and strive to empower individuals to navigate life’s challenges, cultivate personal growth, and achieve meaningful change. 

Education and Background

I graduated from the University of North Florida in 2024, earning both a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a certificate in animal-assisted therapy. During my internship, I had the opportunity to practice under a Registered Play Therapist, where I gained experience working with children, teens, and adults through expressive modalities such as play and art. Before pursuing a career in mental health counseling, I was a teacher. Through teaching, I found joy in supporting children with behavioral challenges. This experience ignited my passion for mental health and guided me toward a path where I could make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. 

I look forward to walking alongside you on your path to healing and self-understanding.

Counselor, LMHC (she/her)

I am so glad you're here!

I work with folks of all ages—kiddos, teens, and adults—and I’m passionate about mental wellness. Whether you're struggling with anxiety, depression, loss/grief, relationship issues, or navigating life changes, I’m here to help. In my practice, I deeply appreciate diverse experiences and the importance of creating a supportive, judgment-free space where you feel respected and heard.

First and foremost, I approach therapeutic relationships as a partnership; you are the expert of your own life and I am here to help you explore and grow in your own way and time. I have extensive experience working with clients from tough situations who struggle to find their place and purpose in the world. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and cognitive-behavioral based; however, I also utilize an eclectic therapeutic approach tailoring to a client’s specific needs. I also believe in the healing power of humor and finding the light in everyday life.

Education and Background

I am a licensed mental health counselor, earning both a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a certificate in animal-assisted therapy from the University of North Florida in 2019. During my time at UNF and throughout my career, I have worked with underserved, at-risk populations such as juvenile offenders, human trafficking survivors, and students attending alternative school due to expulsion, as well as, providing psychoeducation to Duval county school teachers, administrators, and faculty.
