Therapy is personal, and finding the right therapist can make all the difference. With over 30 years of counseling experience, I provide a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and comfortable being yourself.

I work with clients navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, anger, family and relationship concerns, and other challenges that can leave you feeling overwhelmed or stuck. My approach focuses not only on what is difficult right now, but also on the strengths and resilience you already have within you.

Together, we’ll work to better understand what you’re experiencing, build practical ways to cope, and create meaningful changes that feel right for you. You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. We’ll begin wherever you are and move forward together.

With over 30 years of experience in the mental health field, I bring both extensive clinical experience and a genuine, compassionate approach to therapy. I earned my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling from Florida Atlantic University, and throughout my career I have worked in a variety of settings, including addiction treatment, in home therapy, intensive behavioral health programs, clinical leadership, and private practice.

Since transitioning into private practice in 2019, I have focused much of my work on helping individuals heal from trauma and navigate the challenges that can make life feel overwhelming or difficult to manage. I also work with clients experiencing anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, anger, grief, and significant life changes.

My experience has taught me that no two people experience life in exactly the same way. I take the time to understand your story, what you’re facing, and what you need from therapy so that our work together feels meaningful, supportive, and truly personal.

I believe therapy should be as individual as the person sitting across from me. You deserve a space where you feel genuinely heard, supported, and comfortable talking about what matters most to you. Together, we’ll identify the goals that are meaningful to you and work toward changes that help you feel better and move forward in your life.

My approach is supportive, collaborative, and practical, with a strong foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). We’ll explore how your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors may be connected, while developing strategies you can use in your everyday life.

You won’t find a one size fits all approach in our sessions. I’ll meet you where you are, tailor our work to your individual needs, and provide both the support and practical tools you need to create meaningful, lasting change.
