Great to meet you!

I am trained in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Circle of Security, EMDR, and Perinatal Mental Health. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Qualified Supervisor of MHC Registered Interns in the State of Florida. I have over 7 years of experience in community mental health, and over 4 years of experience in private practice care.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I truly believe that each person is born with a foundation of strength and resilience. My job is to help foster what is already growing within an individual, and support their unique journey through life and hardships. I specialize in healing related to attachment/inner-child, co-dependency, relationship based trauma, anxiety, and depression.

What you can expect from our first session

I want all of my clients to feel seen, heard, and safe while in my care. I help individuals speak and process their adverse experiences as well as learn skills to improve their relationship to self and others.
