You don’t have to figure it all out alone. Seaside is a space that is dedicated to you—and I’d be honored to walk alongside you.

SEASIDE SUPPORT

Seaside is based in Lakewood Ranch.

Whether you live in a vibrant city like St. Pete or Tampa, a quiet little beach town like Anna Maria or Siesta Key, or somewhere in between like Bradenton or Sarasota, emotional support for women in Florida is just a click away.

HOW SEASIDE WORKS

Journaling tools from Seaside Mental Wellness — online therapy for women with anxiety in Florida.

  • All therapy sessions at Seaside are online — designed to meet you wherever you are, emotionally and literally.

    No commuting. No waiting rooms. Just compassionate care that fits seamlessly into your life.

    You can book your appointment directly through the “Schedule Your Appointment” links. From there, you’ll be directed to the Grow Therapy platform.

  • Therapy sessions at Seaside are available throughout the week, from 7 AM to 5 PM, allowing you the flexibility to prioritize your well-being without adding more stress to your day.

  • At Seaside, sessions are collaborative, solution-focused, and tailored to your personal goals so you can receive the emotional support you need without the stress of traffic, waiting rooms, or taking extra time off.

    I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Solution-Focused, Strength-Based, Mindfulness, Mind-Body Connection, and Integrative Therapy.

  • At Seaside, therapy is shaped around your personal needs.

    In the beginning, I recommend meeting every week or every other week for the first few months to help build a strong therapeutic foundation.

    Some clients continue with regular sessions bi-weekly, while others check in seasonally or as needed for emotional support.

    There’s no pressure to commit to weekly sessions. Therapy at Seaside is designed to be flexible, sustainable, and aligned with what feels right for you.

I SPECIALIZE IN

  • Emotional wellness isn’t about “having it all together”—it’s about honoring what you feel, understanding where it comes from, and learning how to respond with clarity and compassion.

    At Seaside, we’ll explore emotional patterns, reflect on life experiences, and build a foundation of tools to help you feel more grounded, more supported, and more like yourself again.

  • Your emotional health and physical health are deeply connected.

    Whether you’re managing a health condition, navigating a new medical diagnosis (including perimenopause and menopause), feeling emotionally overwhelmed, or are wanting to work towards a more sustainable lifestyle, therapy at Seaside offers a safe space to focus on your mind-body connection.

    At Seaside, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you manage your stress level, support your emotional wellness, and overall well-being.

  • Your body often tells the truth your mind is trying to avoid. That’s why therapy at Seaside doesn’t ignore the physical signs of stress, anxiety, or emotional burnout.

    At Seaside, we’ll work together to strengthen the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and physical well-being by integrating practices like breathwork, mindfulness, and body awareness so you can feel more in tune and at ease.

  • Change—even when it’s chosen—can feel overwhelming and disorienting.

    Whether you're navigating a breakup, a career change, medical condition, caregiving responsibilities, relocation, or a shift in identity, therapy offers a safe and supportive space to pause, to reflect, and to explore what’s next.

    At Seaside, you can move through transitions and rediscover the version of yourself that feels more grounded, more empowered, and whole.

  • So many women carry invisible workloads—managing homes, relationships, caregiving, and careers while rarely pausing to check in with themselves.

    You might be the one everyone leans on. But who’s supporting you?

    At Seaside, therapy offers a space to breathe. To reflect. To feel seen. And to remember that you matter too.
