Flo works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, loss, and life transitions. She also has a special interest in aging-related mental health and caregiver support. She understands the emotional toll caregiving can take and provides a compassionate space for individuals navigating these challenges. Clients often describe Flo as a calming and grounding presence, someone who truly listens and helps them gain clarity so they can move forward with confidence.

Flo brings a wealth of experience and deep empathy to her role at Healing Conversations. Before transitioning into the counseling field, Flo spent 14 years as an attorney in Australia. Upon moving to the U.S., she embraced a new chapter as a stay-at-home mom while her children were young. However, her passion for helping others never faded. Inspired by the transformative work of counseling mediators she had worked alongside in Australia, Flo pursued a career change that aligned with her desire to support individuals in meaningful ways.

She earned her Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Houston – Victoria.  Flo has gained valuable experience through her internships at Fort Bend Women’s Center and HGI Counseling Center where she has received training in collaborative counseling practices, reinforcing her belief that clients are the true experts in their own lives.

Beyond counseling, Flo knows firsthand the power of resilience and stepping outside one’s comfort zone. In 2013, she took on the incredible challenge of cycling coast to coast across the U.S., covering the Southern Tier route from San Diego to St. Augustine. She gained a different perspective of the world from the seat of a bike. That journey not only built her mental fortitude and perseverance but also reinforced her belief in the importance of support—whether from loved ones, community, or a trusted counselor.

Flo is here to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges. If you’re struggling with anxiety, loss, caregiving, or major life transitions, know that you don’t have to go through it alone. Healing starts with a conversation, and Flo is ready to listen.
