Great to meet you!

I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Board-Certified Telemental Health Provider, and harm reduction advocate with a PhD in Counseling. I have several years of clinical experience working with individuals from marginalized communities, including BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and TGNB populations.

My approach to therapy

My approach integrates evidence-based, strength-based, race-conscious, and trauma-informed practices to create an affirming, anti-oppressive space that supports growth and healing. I have experience helping clients navigate stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression.

What you can expect from me

I am committed to treating every client with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I tailor each session and treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals. Seeking support takes courage, and I am here to walk alongside you; offering guidance, support, and empowerment throughout your journey.
