Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Brandon, Florida. I specialize in neurodivergence, trauma, and those in the helping professions (paramedics/firefighters, healthcare workers, educators, etc.). Most of my clients seek out my services when life feels overwhelming, or a major event just happened, maybe years after "white-knuckling" their way through. We all need support from time to time, especially if we give much of ourselves. This is your reminder to give back to yourself by healing in therapy too.

My approach to therapy

I take a Humanistic approach to working with my clients, you are a person with real feelings and experiences. I want to honor that by working with my clients on their goals to provide excellent care. I meet the client where they are at and tailor my approach to their specific needs. I offer Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy for clients.

What you can expect from me

Clients can generally expect to collaboratively work toward their goals with me, and I ask questions that may lead to better insight and pattern recognition.
