Great to meet you!

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Qualified Supervisor, and School Counselor in Florida with over 20 years of experience helping individuals and families find healing, clarity, and renewed confidence. I hold a Specialist Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Master’s Degree in Guidance and Counseling, bringing together clinical expertise with a genuine understanding of the complexities of life and relationships. My approach is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and the belief that you already have strengths within you even if life’s circumstances have made them difficult to see. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, major life transitions, or simply feeling like something needs to change, I’m here to support you in discovering what healing and growth can look like for you.

My approach to therapy

I use a combination of practical strategies, meaningful conversations, and evidence-based techniques to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while building confidence and resilience. I specialize in helping people navigate identity, relationships, self-esteem, and life’s pressures, while also supporting women and individuals through major life changes. Together, we’ll work on developing healthier coping skills, improving self-awareness, and creating positive changes that feel realistic and lasting.

What you can expect from me

Together, we’ll create a safe space to explore your story, understand patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with greater balance and self-awareness. This initial meeting is a chance to begin building a trusting, supportive partnership that will guide our work moving forward.
