Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida offering therapy specialized for survivors of trauma. Whether you are looking for help processing a single-occurrence traumatic event or trying to unpack complex trauma stemming back to your childhood, I am here for you. In my career, I have been a teacher, a child advocate, and now a therapist aiming to help those who want to take back their lives and regain their peace.

My approach to therapy

I work with adults and members of the LGBTQIA+ community using trauma-informed, Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR), strength-based, and solution-focused approaches to help my clients process and overcome struggles in their lives. My clients are motivated, curious, and ready to tackle their trauma with me alongside them.

What you can expect from me

I create a warm and inviting environment that is free from judgment and unrealistic expectations. I collaborate with you to find the best goals to work toward and help you step-by-step to reach those goals.
