Find the Spark to Illuminate Your Life
Individual therapy for adults, teens, and children
In-person in Jacksonville and online throughout Florida and Virginia
Hi, we’re Matt and Amanda.
We want to help you find relief from your stress, past traumas, anxiety, and depression.
It’s time to live an illuminated and authentic life full of love. Who you are is precisely what the world needs, and we want to help you believe that.
We believe that when you illuminate from the inside, you can illuminate the world around you. And let’s face it, that’s difficult to do by yourself.
We work to create a judgment-free zone where you have space to express yourself truly. We will listen and help you untangle your thoughts, so you have the insight and skills to carry you forward, no matter what life throws your way.
Don’t wait another moment settling for less than you deserve.
Every day is the same struggle.
Each morning you wake up with a deep unease in the pit of your stomach.
The dread washes over you as you anticipate all the responsibilities of your day.
Life is stressful, dull, and pointless. You’d love just one day where it doesn’t feel like that.
There was a time when you felt a light inside you that burned brightly. But, somewhere along the way, it was extinguished.
Allen has it all. From the outside, everyone wants his life. But what no one knows is that he’s crippled with fear. He feels like an imposter. Each night he lays in bed terrified that everyone will realize what a fraud he is. He feels so powerless, which recalls back to painful childhood memories. He constantly feels he needs to prove himself and his worth, so he stays in the office long after everyone else has left. Even at home, he can’t switch it off. He doesn’t understand how his family bears him.
Lisa has the perfect Instagram life. She’s in her thirties with a dream career. She travels to exotic places and lives in a gorgeous home with her designer dog. She knows exactly how to curate her photos to portray the image of a happy and successful person. But she’s desperately lonely. People don’t know that she grew up seeing her mother stuck in a toxic marriage and vowed never to have to depend on anyone else to live. Yet now that she has the life she’s always dreamed of, she has no one to share it with.
Gary is a hero. At least, that’s what everyone thinks. At the age of 40, he was diagnosed with cancer, and his family and friends rallied around to support him. He was flooded with meal trains, GoFundMe drives, and donations from the community. Everyone says he’s “such a hero.” But despite all the support, he has never felt more alone. The pity he sees in the faces of those around him makes him feel like an alien in his own world. His constant treatments and doctor visits just isolate him further. He wonders if life will ever feel normal again.
You’re reaching the end of your rope.
People say you need to “be present,” so you try limiting social media,
reading endless self-help books, and even meditating. Just think
positively. Don’t worry. Forget about it and move on, right?
But no matter how hard you try, you’re still struggling to connect
with your authentic self. The “you” that you really are.
What you need is someone to ignite you, support you, and guide you
through this process each step of the way. That’s where we come in.
“Become the person you were meant to be, light your inner fire, and follow your heart’s desire.”

What We Offer
Allen was ready to reconcile his past and entered therapy excited to treat the trauma that made him feel like an imposter. He learned to relate to his past in new ways and developed the ability to recognize triggers and process them before they have a chance to spiral out of control. He finally understands that his past makes him stronger and can pave his way forward. Now, he can’t believe how much his life has improved.
Lisa was ready to let others in. She discovered newfound security within herself and the ability to connect with others on a deeper level. Lisa started by identifying what she genuinely valued in life and taking actionable steps to start living how she wanted. She learned how to communicate her thoughts and feelings and grow more meaningful connections with others. She has never felt more authentic than she does now.
Gary was ready for more. He reached out, and together we explored how to properly grieve the life he once imagined so that he could live in the here and now. Despite his troubling diagnosis, the fog has been lifted from Gary’s mind. Now, he lives every day with purpose and passion, exactly as he’s always wanted to, and feels unstoppable. He’s never felt so alive.
