Great to meet you!

Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and finding someone you trust matters. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and Massachusetts and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in North Carolina, I bring years of experience, compassion, and a warm, supportive approach to therapy.

I specialize in helping adults navigate anxiety, trauma, PTSD, relationship challenges, grief, divorce, and life transitions. Using EMDR, CBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed therapy, I help clients heal from painful experiences, rebuild confidence, and rediscover their sense of self. You deserve to feel heard, valued and empowered. Healing happens at your own pace, and you don't have to do it alone. Let's take the first step together toward a healthier, more fulfilling life.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is warm, compassionate, straightforward, and honest. I believe therapy should be a safe and supportive space, but also one where meaningful growth and change happen. I'm not a therapist who simply nods and listens. I'll gently challenge you, offer honest feedback, and work alongside you to help you move forward.

I value your time as much as my own, and I believe therapy should be purposeful, collaborative, and focused on your goals. I also recognize that I'm not the right therapist for everyone, and that's okay! If I believe another approach or provider would better serve your needs, I'll be honest with you.

My goal is to build a genuine connection where you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered to do the work that leads to lasting change.

What you can expect from me

Your first session is a relaxed, welcoming conversation where we'll get to know each other, explore what's bringing you to therapy, and talk about what you'd like to change in your life. There's no need to prepare or have all the answers.

My approach is warm, genuine, and straightforward. I'll listen without judgment, ask thoughtful questions, and offer honest feedback. Together, we'll identify your goals, explore patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and determine whether we're a good fit.

There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. I believe therapy should be meaningful and worth your time, with a focus on real progress and lasting change.
