I will meet you where you with zero judgment, empathetic ear and evidence based practice.

Having the fortitude to prioritize your mental health and seek therapeutic support when necessary is indeed a significant strength. I believe that individuals have the capacity to cultivate their own strengths to effect positive self-transformation, and I work collaboratively with clients to identify coping strategies as well as to develop skills tailored to meet their unique needs.

Relationships play an important role in our overall well-being. If you are sad, anxious, or overwhelmed by life, you might notice that your relationships are suffering as well. I specialize in working with intimate relationships, life transitions, family problems, and personal growth. I work with individuals, couples, and families with a variety of concerns.

I am passionate about working with late teens, young adults, and adult women. I work with people who are struggling with anxiety, trauma, burnout, low self-worth, perfectionism, and body image. I specialize in treating college students, helping professionals, and those who are navigating stressful life transitions. Many of my clients starting out would describe themselves as “people pleasers” with overachieving tendencies who are ready to let go of these behaviors and are seeking balance in their lives.

It's time to be as kind to yourself as you are with those around you! I enjoy working with individuals regarding various topics such as anxiety and low-self esteem. I enjoy being able to offer an alternative perspective for people in order to challenge negative thoughts and reduce intrusive ones. Whether you are just starting your change process or are five years into working on your identified goals, I will meet you where you are at in order to help you achieve your desired outcome(s). -I also have snacks and drinks in my office!-

If life events have become too much to take on alone and you don't know where to turn, there is hope and a way through the darkness. Whatever difficult situation or problem you face, I invite you to come and begin the conversations that may help to sort out your thoughts and feelings and bring the restoration of the life you desire. I will provide a place of safety to focus on you and your needs. Doing this work will not always be easy but it will be worth it. Let's take this journey together.

My ideal client is someone facing challenges in their everyday life. They may be dealing with overwhelming debt, struggling to make sound financial decisions, or experiencing anxiety and conflict around money. Alternatively, they might be navigating the difficult journey of grief after losing a loved one, or they may be dealing with the long-lasting impacts of some other challenge. These clients need a safe, non-judgmental space to explore their feelings and experiences. They require practical tools and strategies to manage their emotions and make positive changes in their lives.

I utilize an eclectic approach to counseling to meet the unique needs of individuals to support them to work toward their goals. These evidence-based approaches include Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I can support parent-child relationships for certain families using a framework to therapy called Child-Parent Psychotherapy. In addition, I draw from my knowledge and insight of the Three Principles; Mind, Thought, and Consciousness.

My passion is serving others through a relational style of therapy that is meant to help people repair emotional wounds, restore relationships, and develop a greater sense of wholeness within their lives. I seek to create a warm, supportive, and genuine climate where clients feel comfortable and safe working on problems and making progress towards life goals.

I am passionate about providing evidence based practices which are unique to each individuals needs. I have training and certifications in TF-CBT, EMDR, MATCH and Gottman Level 1 and I have 100 post graduate direct supervision hours in Florida under my RMFTI (registered marriage and family therapy intern) license.

You are a high achiever with perfectionistic tendencies and often feel overwhelmed by your thoughts or feelings, avoiding them is easier but may not be working anymore. You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, depersonalization, ADHD, chronic pain, OCD, overwhelm, or desire increased self-care and self-esteem. Relationships often feel challenging, causing you to question if you do in fact deserve meaningful connections with others. You yearn for deeper connections, however, may be uncertain where to begin. You question if the fragments of your past came together, perhaps your story would feel more complete.

“People start to heal the moment they are heard." We face so many challenges daily, particularly now as we navigate a world filled with unprecedented stressors. It is more important than ever to have the therapeutic support and encouragement you need to feel safe, to have your voice heard, and your feelings validated. I strive to provide a safe therapy space where my clients will be treated with respect, compassion, and professionalism. Once you make the decision to seek therapy, you will have taken the first step toward self-compassion.

As a counselor it is my desire to see people grow and change in order to achieve their goals. I enjoy working with clients to help them see their potential and to take steps in the growth process. Life isn't always easy and sometimes we can all benefit from some guidance as we work to overcome the difficulties and obstacles we face.

If you feel ready to explore the obstacles that are impeding your ability to live your ultimate life, we may be a great match! Do you feel overwhelmed by feelings of resentment, shame or past/current traumas? Are difficulties in your relationships, family dysfunction, school issues, chronic stress or participation in negative patterns of behaviors inhibiting your ability to live your life as you envision it? If so, I am here and ready to support you on your journey of discovery that you desire and deserve.

I want to help clients who feel misunderstood, estranged from society, or who are dissatisfied with their daily life or current relationships. You may feel anxious in situations deemed normal by others or unmotivated to engage in everyday activities. You may believe that something is innately wrong with you or that you are overly sensitive. I provide a safe space for clients to process difficult thoughts and feelings, express their authentic voice, and identify how change is possible and within reach. I want to help improve your self-awareness and self-esteem, and learn how to prioritize self-care to build and maintain mental health
