About
Dara
I am a Holistic Psychotherapist, Certified Nutrition Counselor, and Published Author specializing in Health Psychology and Anxiety Disorders. I believe real healing happens when we look at the whole picture — both mind and body. My therapeutic approach is grounded, collaborative, and focused on building a safe, supportive relationship where you can truly open up. Together, we will uncover your unique strengths and untangle the barriers holding you back. Whether you are navigating anxiety, adjusting to a major loss or change in your life, or working through health and wellness challenges -- you don’t have to do it alone. As an LMHC, I combine clinical expertise with a practical, down-to-earth style to help you create meaningful, lasting change.
Outside of the office, I ground myself in the simple things in life. Much of my joy comes from time with my husband & our two girls, building experiences together and constantly exploring new adventures across central Florida. To recharge, I love winding down at home with my family and our dog, losing myself in a good book, attending classes/workshops (related to personal development or spirituality), and cooking healthy meals. Finding these moments of balance helps me to reset and show up more fully for you in our work together.
