Meet the People Behind Willow Bay

Specialized care for couples, families, and individuals across the St Petersburg area.

At Willow Bay Counseling, we believe the relationship between you and your therapist is the foundation of meaningful change. Our team of three Florida-licensed clinicians brings advanced training in evidence-based approaches — including the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and EMDR — to every session. Whether you're navigating a difficult chapter on your own, working to reconnect with a partner, or seeking support for your family, you'll find a thoughtful, judgment-free space here. We're proud to serve the Seminole and greater Tampa Bay community from our new office, and we'd be honored to walk alongside you.
