Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I received my Bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida, and my Master’s degree from Webster University. I have worked in the counseling field for over 10 years and have experience working with kids, teens, families, and couples. Although I have made Tampa my home, I am originally from Gainesville, Florida. In my free time I enjoy relaxing, spending time with friends and family, watching a good movie, and enjoying good food!

My approach to therapy

I specialize in solution focused therapy, CBT, and addictions therapy. I also have a strong background in working with clients experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, bi-polar disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and substance abuse. I think it’s important to build confidence in clients while giving them tools today that can be used for a lifetime.

What you can expect from me

As a client, you will be able to take away a new way of thinking, as well as a better understanding of yourself. You will be able to examine your behaviors and past patterns and gain the knowledge and skills needed to help manage your lifestyle moving forward.
