Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Qualified Supervisor providing therapy services through Life Thrive Solutions. I have over 20 years of experience in the mental health field and utilize trauma-informed techniques. I work primarily with adults and older adults and offer in-person sessions at the Life Thrive Solutions' Stuart office and telehealth services across Florida.

My approach to therapy

I use a practical, supportive approach grounded in CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and person-centered therapy.

I provide evidence-based, client-centered therapy with a practical, supportive style, drawing primarily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and person-centered approaches. I am highly trauma-informed and work collaboratively to help clients build insight, strengthen coping skills, and make steady, meaningful progress.
