Great to meet you!

Are you a millennial or gen z looking for a therapist who gets you? I am thoroughly experienced working with your age group and I understand the unique stressors of these generations as I am a millennial myself and have a gen z sister If you are struggling with job or school stress, relationship conflicts, anxiety, negative thoughts, ADHD, trauma, or self-worth issues, I can help you take control of your problems and find a path to a better version of you.

My approach to therapy

I have over 10 years of counseling experience and will be there to listen and help you find your path to healing and strength. I am a LCSW and trauma informed therapist. I use a person-centered approach along with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidenced based techniques. I focus not only on your story and how you are doing currently, but also on building ways to cope and create a better future. Have kids? I also specialize in working with children ages 3-12 using play therapy & other techniques; and with parents teaching parenting strategies and providing support to host a happier home. If your child is struggling with behavioral or emotional problems at home or school, get some help, because it's not easy having kids!

What you can expect from me

Each person is special and unique, and I offer a non-judgmental and caring environment to speak in. It's not easy reaching out for help but you are looking into this for a reason and it never hurts to try! I require a consultation or message before making an appointment, if you'd like to skip the consultation call and just message to get set up please book one any time and just let me know this in message. Contact me today! If you prefer to text/call: 727-222-3032. Please note: No weekends.
