My primary interest in therapy is in helping you find and be your true self. I believe that the therapeutic process should be one that reflects the unique nature and potential of every individual. From a very young age, I have known that I wanted to work in a helping profession. While I’ve dabbled in various business industries in my professional career, my focus has always been on the human aspect with a wholistic perspective. I have worked with a diverse group of clients ranging from ages 10 to 69 experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, mood dysregulation, OCD, ADHD and disordered eating.
As a certified Yoga and Meditation instructor, I’ve seen how complimentary my formal mental health studies have been in elevating mindful practices through an integration of spiritual and psychological approaches. This means looking at who we really are, the relationships we are in, and what stops us from having the life we want to live.
I see therapy as a process of self-discovery; a delicate and exciting journey that should be taken with care and support. My goal is to support you in accessing and executing your highest potential in becoming the best version of yourself

As people we want connection. Connection to ourselves, others, and the world around us. When suffering with mental health challenges, those connections can be lost, make it difficult to do the day to day and can make the human experience painful.
Whether you are suffering from anxiety, depression, substance use, ADHD, low self-esteem or just life, therapy has the power to assist in gaining new skills, empower through education, and provide a safe space to process those challenging feelings. I have experience working with clients ranging in age from the 6 to 80. I believe in practical strategies to support areas that are impacted, providing education because knowledge is power, and help hold the mirror to assist in clients gaining the ability to improve those connections lost and enjoy the human experience again.
I know that life can be challenging but I also know that we do not have to do it alone. Everyone deserves to be seen and heard and that is my goal. The first step is always the hardest! It would be my privilege to come along this journey with you.
If you’re reading this, it means you’re ready to begin a transformative journey. Together, we can start unraveling the complexities that you’ve been struggling with. Therapy is a gateway to healing the parts of yourself that might feel fragmented or disconnected—parts that have been difficult to integrate on your own. I would be honored to take this journey with you as my client. My role is to guide and support you in becoming the best version of yourself, to help you build the emotional resilience and clarity needed to move forward with confidence and strength. Therapy is not just about alleviating distress; it’s about fostering growth, self-awareness, and transformation.
A snapshot of my experience :
I began my career working in higher levels of care, such as residential inpatient and intensive outpatient settings. This experience allowed me to develop the skills to address complex emotional and psychological issues, helping clients confront the root causes of their struggles while guiding them toward practical, sustainable solutions.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and I also incorporate Eye Movement Integration (EMI™) into my therapeutic practice to help clients process trauma and enhance decision-making. I work with a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder (BPD), attachment issues, perfectionism, family dynamics, and both substance and process addictions. My approach is holistic—focusing not only on alleviating symptoms but also on uncovering and addressing the underlying causes of distress. My goal is to offer tailored, client-centered interventions that foster long-term healing and emotional growth.
My therapeutic style is rooted in empathy, patience, and strength-based approaches. I am a dedicated mental health counselor, with a strong academic foundation and hands-on clinical experience. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Psychology and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hodges University.
I get that starting therapy can feel like a big leap, but you’re not in this alone. I can be here to help you work through what’s holding you back and move forward with more clarity, confidence, and purpose.

Stephen Durand, CRNA, APRN, offers behavioral health services to patients at Dura Medical in Naples, Florida. Stephen moved to Naples in 2004 to attend Wolford College, where he received his training as a certified registered nurse anesthetist (CRNA) and simultaneously earned a master’s degree from Florida Gulf Coast University.
During his training, Stephen developed a love for obstetric (OB) anesthesia and decided to specialize in it. He has also trained hundreds of anesthesia students as a clinical instructor.
During this time of working in OB, Stephen became very familiar with using ketamine as a pharmacological agent for surgical pain. When he discovered it was being used to treat mood and pain disorders in outpatient settings, he sought out a former colleague using ketamine to successfully treat people who were once thought to have been treatment-resistant.
Stephen took an extensive training course and became certified in ketamine to treat patients suffering from depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, and many pain disorders. At that time, no clinics in Naples offered ketamine infusion therapy, and Stephen was convinced that Naples needed one. He and his wife Liz, a registered nurse (RN), started Dura Medical, LLC in 2018 to help as many people as possible experience healing from mood disorders and chronic pain.
Thomas Sokol is a Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) with over 40 years of experience in the field. After completing his early education in Pittsburgh and later a Bachelor’s degree from Boston College, he went on to obtain an associate degree in nursing. Tom spent 16 years as a psychiatric nurse at Naples Community Hospital before earning a Master of Science from the University of South Florida in 2000. His work continued at the hospital for another 24 years while also working alongside numerous psychiatrists in private practice. His exposure to the different methods used by these physicians gave him a basis to create a therapeutic approach that specifically meets an individual patient’s needs.
Tom’s approach is shaped not only by clinical expertise at establishing chemical balance for a patient but also by his lifelong interest in Western and Eastern schools of thought, different religions, and philosophical/intellectual movements. His awareness and applications of the underlying principles of these ideological traditions allows patients to become aware of their own essential being and its place in the healing process by treating the whole person, not just symptoms.
