Feeling overwhelmed by strained relationships, stress, burn-out, anxiety, or low mood? Whether I am working with an adult or a teen navigating life’s tough chapters, I provide an individual therapy space that’s equal parts compassionate and open. I bring a gentle approach by blending CBT, DBT skills, attachment theory, and solution-focused techniques. Together, we’ll tackle goals with practical tools, emotional insight to keep things engaging and effective.

I clients have a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and trauma-informed environment where they can safely explore and heal from relationship challenges, family stress, and worries about identity. We will collaborate in a way that supports insight, authenticity, emotional regulation, and sustainable personal growth. I like to allow clients to "pause" to check-in during sessions, see how they're feeling and utilize grounding or somatic exercises to help as needed. I like to make sure clients are grounded and regulated before leaving sessions.

I recieved my Master's in Social Work from USF in 2021, and have my LCSW. I have been working in health care since 2013, with experience working with older adults, grief and bereavement, health-care, crisis and private practice settings .

My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities such as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) skills, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness techniques. I respect and and have an understanding of 12-step recovery. I have career experience in mental health IOP/PHP programs, hospice and health-care settings.

The first session will collaborate and review your goals for therapy and for me to get to know you. I like to get the whole picture and view you holistically!
