Hi! I am so happy you have taken a step towards living a fulfilling and independent life. It can be tough to make the decision to finally put yourself first. I would be honored to be part of that process and to aid you on your path toward finding your own voice and strength. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I received my degree from Nova Southeastern University in Orlando. I am LGTBQIA+ affirming and my pronouns are she, her and hers. I have worked in the community health setting for 5+ years, providing in person and tele-health services for people living with a range of mental health struggles. I have worked with persons living with a history of complex trauma, depression, anxiety, ADHD, bipolar disorder, psychosis, and people learning to adjust to new environments and circumstances.

I am passionate about providing a safe space for people to do the hard work of self-reflection and find meaning and strength within themselves. This might mean that we must explore painful memories that could be hindering growth, but my goal is that you learn to accept and cherish your own abilities, unique ways of thinking and life choices. I focus on psychoeducation which means I want to empower you to learn how to navigate what can be a complicated process involving a diagnosis. This allows you to make educated decisions about your own life and how to manage the difficulties that mental health issues can bring to your life. I work as your partner to foster independence, increase self-esteem, and help folks find their own way of managing their needs so they can feel confident in their decision making.

My clients describe me as a warm and compassionate therapist who finds joy in getting to know the real you. I cherish the time spent with each of my clients. I am empathetic and understanding of everyone's unique world view and the many paths that can be taken towards meeting your goals. It is my belief that everyone holds the power to live a life that is fulfilling, empowering and full of meaning. The fact that you are here reading this description means that you are ready to make a change. I am here to help you learn there is power within you, and you can live a life that is not defined by your past negative experiences and negative inner dialogue. I am here to help and look forward to hearing from you soon!
