Green Cove Springs is named after the section of the Saint Johns River where the city is built. At the Riverbend, there is a grove of trees that shelter the river, giving it a green cover. The town is also famous for its natural spring that was locally known as the original fountain of youth where the clear water feeds the public swimming pool before flowing into the Saint Johns River.
At times, you may not feel like enjoying the springs, the swimming pool, the river, or anything else. These can be signs of a mental or emotional disorder that can be treated by a mental health professional in the Green Cove Springs area. If you need help, just reach out today to one of the counselors or therapists in and around Green Cove Springs.

Welcome, Salutations, and Best Wishes! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who has been in the helping profession for over 15 years.

I have experience collaborating with individuals, couples, families, in addition to NGOs, faith-based organizations, and political representatives. It is my belief that I am not the expert in your life, rather I am just here as a conduit for change that you wish to see occur.

I believe that we will work as collaborators to achieve the goals that make sense for you. As a solution focused therapist, I am dedicated to brief treatment, adhere to minimal interventions, and do not delve into underlying pathology that may be present or family history in great detail. In our time together we will focus on the here and now in order to have you achieve goals in a concise and fulfilling manner. I look forward to hearing from you soon!
