Online Therapy in Gainesville, Florida

Online Therapy for Gainesville and North-Central Florida Residents

Life in a University Town Has Its Own Challenges

Gainesville brings a unique mix of academic pressure, transition, and small-town living

Maybe you're a student balancing classes and personal struggles, a young professional navigating career uncertainty, or someone who's relocated and feeling isolated.

Or maybe you're watching someone you care about slip deeper into addiction, feeling helpless as the situation worsens. You're exhausted and don't know where to turn.

Gainesville and North-Central Florida face significant mental health needs, with high rates of anxiety and depression, especially among students and young adults. Finding support can be difficult when local providers are overbooked or hours don't fit your schedule. Online therapy gives you access to help that's flexible, discreet, and doesn't require a drive across town.

I provide online therapy for clients throughout Gainesville, Alachua County, and surrounding areas in North-Central Florida. All sessions are via secure video so you can connect from your dorm, apartment, home, or anywhere private.

My Approach

I've been clean and sober since 1985, and I've spent over 30 years helping people break free from addiction, heal from trauma, and strengthen their relationships. I know what it's like to feel stuck and not see the way forward.

When you work with me, you're working with someone who's lived through the struggle. I bring humor, creativity, and a direct approach to therapy. I'm intuitive and quick to read what's happening beneath the surface. Clients tell me I help them see patterns, connecting the dots in ways that bring clarity and real movement.
