You don't have to keep holding it all together.
Therapy for women and teens navigating anxiety, ADHD, relationships, life transitions, and the parts of life that feel harder than they look from the outside.
Tampa + Virtual Therapy Throughout Florida
Maybe you're doing fine on paper. But it doesn't feel that way.
You may be self-aware, dependable, and capable while still feeling overwhelmed, anxious, disconnected, or exhausted by the effort it takes to keep everything together.
You’re wondering whether you're actually happy…
You want to trust yourself again.
You’re functioning, but you don't really feel like yourself.
You’re aware of your patterns but can’t seem to break them.
You want your life to feel like yours again.
Therapy can be a place to slow down, understand what’s underneath the pattern, and build a way of living that feels more sustainable and genuinely yours.
What brings you here?
Anxiety & Overwhelm
When your mind won’t slow down, you’re carrying too much, or anxiety is taking up more space than you’d like.
Depression & Low Mood
When you feel disconnected, unmotivated, emotionally drained, or unlike yourself—and you’re ready to understand why.
ADHD & Neurodivergence
When you’ve spent years wondering why things that seem easy for everyone else feel so difficult for you.
Relationships
When communication, connection, boundaries, or recurring patterns are creating distance between you and the people you love.
Life Transitions
When you’re questioning who you are, where you’re going, or what you actually want next.
Therapy for the things that feel difficult to explain, hard to change, or heavier than they look from the outside.
Meet Your Therapist:
Hi, I’m Remy
I believe therapy should be a place where you can show up exactly as you are without having to have the right words, the right answers, or everything figured out beforehand.
Maybe from the outside, you seem like you’re doing just fine. You’re capable, responsible, and used to handling things on your own. But internally, you may feel overwhelmed, disconnected, stuck in your head, or unsure of what you actually need or who you truly are.
Who I work with
I work primarily with women and teens who are navigating:
Anxiety and chronic overwhelm
Depression and low mood
ADHD and neurodivergence
Relationship challenges
Life transitions and major changes
Identity and self-worth
Boundaries and people-pleasing
Perfectionism and overthinking
Feeling stuck, disconnected, or unlike yourself
You don't need to arrive with a perfect explanation of what's wrong. Sometimes knowing that something doesn't feel right anymore is enough to begin.
My approach
I’m warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental, but I’m also honest and direct when it’s helpful.
I don’t believe therapy is about simply talking through the same problems week after week. I want to help you understand why certain patterns keep showing up, how they developed, and what it takes to create meaningful change.
We can work with what’s happening in your life right now while also looking at the experiences, relationships, and beliefs that may be influencing how you respond today.
My approach draws from psychodynamic therapy, CBT, ACT, mindfulness, and person-centered therapy. I tailor our work to you rather than expecting you to fit into one particular method.
A little about me
Outside of the therapy room, I’m someone who really values curiosity, slowing down, and staying connected to the things that make life feel meaningful.
I love to travel and experience new places, and I’m an avid reader, especially romantasy novels, with the occasional self-help or psychology book mixed in (sometimes for work, sometimes just because I’m curious). I also enjoy writing poetry, practicing meditation and yoga, and spending time connecting with nature. These are some of the ways I slow down, reconnect with myself, and stay present in my own life.
I have a six-year-old golden retriever who is very much the light of my life, and I love spending time with my family and the people closest to me.
I believe being a therapist means continuing to learn, not only through education and clinical experience, but by staying curious about life, people, and our own experiences. I try to bring that same curiosity into the therapy room, while remembering that I’m a person too. I don’t believe in having all the answers; I believe in being willing to sit with the questions alongside you.
What therapy with me can feel like
A place to be honest.
You don’t have to minimize what you’re feeling or make things sound better than they are.
A place to understand yourself.
Together, we’ll look beneath the surface to understand the patterns, beliefs, and experiences shaping how you think, feel, and relate to others.
A place to move forward.
Understanding yourself matters—but so does creating a life that feels more manageable, connected, and genuinely yours
How I show up for you
I show up candidly, authentically, and with genuine curiosity.
I believe that feeling truly seen and understood is an important part of therapy. I’ll approach our work with openness and curiosity, while also being honest and direct when I think it can help you move forward.
I also believe therapy doesn’t always have to feel heavy. When it feels appropriate, I bring humor and lightheartedness into our work because sometimes laughing together, finding a little levity, or simply being human can make it easier to talk about the hard things. I’ll never force that into the room, but I’m comfortable letting therapy have moments of lightness alongside the more difficult ones.
My goal is to create a space where you can be honest without feeling judged, supported without feeling helpless, and challenged without feeling criticized.
Why I became a therapist
Becoming a therapist is personal to me.
I’ve experienced my own struggles with mental health, and I know what it feels like to reach a point where you recognize that something needs to change but aren’t quite sure how to get there on your own.
Going to therapy was transformative for me. It gave me a space to slow down, understand myself more deeply, work through things I had been carrying, and ultimately create meaningful, lasting change in my life.
That experience played a significant role in my decision to become a therapist. I know firsthand how vulnerable it can feel to begin therapy, and I also know how powerful it can be to have someone sit with you in that vulnerability without judgment.
Because of that, I don’t take it lightly when someone chooses to trust me with their story.
Credentials & Training

Coaching
Coaching is a collaborative, goal-focused space for personal and professional growth. It can be helpful when you’re navigating a life transition, feeling stuck, wanting to build confidence or self-trust, or looking for support with goals, organization, relationships, or creating meaningful change.
Unlike counseling, coaching focuses on the present and future, with an emphasis on clarity, action, and accountability.
Coaching may be a good fit if you:
Are looking for support with a specific goal or life transition
Want greater clarity, confidence, or direction
Are ready to take action and create meaningful change
Would benefit from structure and accountability
Coaching is not psychotherapy or mental health treatment and is not intended to diagnose or treat mental health conditions.
Questions & Resources
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy. Many clients come to build insight, strengthen relationships, and manage stress before it becomes overwhelming. We value prevention, maintenance, and long-term emotional wellness.
What is your therapeutic approach?
At Bayshore Mental Wellness, I take a collaborative, client-centered approach that integrates psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, and mindfulness-based techniques. Together, we explore patterns rooted in past experiences that may be influencing your current thoughts, emotions, and relationships, while also identifying practical tools to shift unhelpful thinking and behavioral patterns. Mindfulness strategies are incorporated to strengthen emotional regulation, increase self-awareness, and reduce stress.
I also work from a person-centered and holistic perspective, recognizing that emotional well-being is connected to lifestyle, relationships, and overall balance. While I create a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space, I also tend to be more direct in sessions, offering insight, structure, and gentle challenge when helpful. My goal is to support both prevention and long-term growth, helping clients build clarity, resilience, and meaningful change.
Do you accept insurance?
Bayshore Mental Wellness is a self-pay practice with a limited number of sliding-scale openings available upon request. While I do not currently accept insurance, I am happy to provide a superbill after each session for you to submit to your insurance provider for potential out-of-network reimbursement, depending on your plan. Just ask!
