I believe therapy should be a place where you feel understood, challenged, and empowered to create meaningful change. With over a decade of experience as a social worker, I have worked across medical, crisis, behavioral health, child welfare, and private practice settings, giving me a broad understanding of the many factors that influence emotional well-being.

I earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Florida A&M University and my Master of Social Work from Florida State University. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, life transitions, grief, substance use, and the emotional impact of chronic health conditions.

My approach is compassionate, direct, and collaborative. I strive to create a space where you can be honest without fear of judgment while also helping you identify patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal isn’t simply to help you feel better in the moment—it’s to help you build lasting skills, healthier relationships, and greater confidence in navigating life’s challenges.

Whether you’re working through a difficult season or seeking personal growth, we’ll work together to create meaningful and sustainable change.

I view therapy as a collaborative partnership. Every client comes with a unique story, so I tailor treatment to your individual needs, goals, and strengths rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all approach.

My work is grounded in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and strengths-based interventions. For couples, I integrate research-informed relationship strategies that strengthen communication, emotional connection, and conflict resolution.

I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, stress, substance use recovery, and the emotional impact of major medical or lifestyle changes. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful patterns, build practical coping skills, and work toward goals that align with your values.

I believe therapy should offer both support and accountability. I’ll validate your experiences while also gently challenging the beliefs and behaviors that may be preventing you from moving forward. My goal is to help you leave each session with greater clarity, practical tools, and a renewed sense of direction.

Your first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and determine whether we’re a good fit. My priority is creating a welcoming, nonjudgmental environment where you can share at your own pace.

We’ll spend time discussing what brought you to therapy, your personal history, current challenges, strengths, and what you hope to accomplish. Together, we’ll identify your goals and begin developing a treatment plan that reflects what is most important to you.

You don’t need to have everything figured out before coming to therapy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or simply looking for support, we’ll start where you are. By the end of the session, my hope is that you’ll leave feeling heard, understood, and with a clearer sense of the direction we’ll take together.
