Great to meet you!

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. I graduated from the University of Miami with my Bachelor's in Psychology and completed my MSW at Florida Atlantic University. I have gained extensive experience working with individuals facing a variety of challenges, including reproductive health, gender and racial discrimination, aging, anxiety, depression, the ability spectrum, trauma, and grief. I utilize evidence-based therapeutic approaches, such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR which are tailored to meet each client's unique needs.

My approach to therapy

I am dedicated to providing a supportive and empowering space where individuals of all abilities can explore their emotions, challenges, and personal growth. My approach is collaborative, integrating a variety of therapeutic methods, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), to help you process trauma, reduce distress, and reclaim a sense of balance and control in your life.

I believe in creating an inclusive environment where everyone—regardless of their background, abilities, or life experiences—feels heard, respected, and empowered. Whether you are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, or the impact of past trauma, I’m here to support you in developing practical tools for healing and resilience.

Your journey is unique, and together we will move at a pace that feels right for you, always fostering a safe and confidential space. If you're ready to begin your path toward healing and growth, I invite you to reach out.

What you can expect from me

In sessions with me, clients can expect to create meaningful progress toward their personal goals in a warm, non-judgmental, and collaborative environment. My approach is rooted in respect for each individual’s unique experience, so therapy is tailored to meet your specific needs. Clients can expect to see an increase in self-awareness, a stronger sense of control and empowerment, improved relationships, and practical tools to handle life's challenges.

I prioritize creating a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable expressing yourself without fear of judgment. Therapy with me is a partnership where we move at your pace, respecting your comfort level. I aim to make each session feel empowering, where you feel heard, validated, and encouraged.

Ultimately, my goal is to help you feel more grounded, confident, and resilient, so you can navigate life with greater ease and satisfaction.

Feel free to reach out if you have more questions about what to expect or want to get started!
