Hello, I 'm Frankie.

Have you ever wondered why you think, feel, and act a certain way? I have. That curiosity led me to dedicate my life to understanding the human mind and the paths we take to heal.
“Helping you on your journey to
wholeness is what I do.”
With over two decades of clinical experience across diverse settings—from emergency departments to private practice—I use Evidence-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Integrative Therapy to build a path forward that makes sense for you.

For Those Ready To Take That First Step.

This space is for the people who have wondered, “Why do I think, feel, and act this way?” It is for those who are tired of feeling stuck and are ready to do the brave, gentle work of healing.
Whether you’re coming in with a specific crisis or a vague sense that things aren’t right, you don’t have to have it all figured out before you sit down.

Words from the Journey

Frankie helped me navigate a paralyzing season of anxiety. Her office feels like a sanctuary, and her approach is so incredibly grounded. I felt truly heard for the first time in years.

Sarah M. Anxiety & Stress

My husband and I were on the brink of divorce. Through our couples sessions, Frankie gave us the tools to communicate without tearing each other down. She is patient, fair, and profoundly wise.

David T. Marital Counseling

Losing my mother left me entirely adrift. Frankie's bereavement counseling provided a safe harbor where I didn't have to pretend I was okay. Her deep empathy made all the difference.

Elena R. Grief & Bereavement

I started seeing Frankie during a major career and life transition. She challenged my negative thought patterns with such warmth and grace. Highly recommend her to anyone feeling stuck.

Approach & Methods

I primarily utilize Evidence-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Integrative Therapy. This means we look at how your thoughts affect your feelings and behaviors, but I adapt the methods to fit your unique needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach.
I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, anger management, marital & couples issues, grief & bereavement, pre-marital counseling, body dysmorphia, trauma recovery, and life transitions.
