Great to meet you!

I am licensed in Florida with over 20 years of professional work experience. We all have experiences that have left us feeling unsafe, unloved, lost, confused, helpless, or unwell emotionally. I have experience working with individuals who have suffer with anxiety, trauma responses, mood disorders, parenting, and more. My hope is that I can help everyone build capacity to build good interpersonal skills, personal skills, and self love; thus creating opportunities to manage "yuk" when things do not go as expected or when someone does not feel important.

You are not alone. Life creates our experiences and the lens for which we see things. How we see anything, is how we see everything. Come join me in my office or through teletherapy. We can discover your lens and figure out how to change it's color through skills, perception, and self love. We got this! You got this!

My approach to therapy

I believe our brain is our mental health organ and has great capacities to heal. Through the use of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Brainspotting, Deep Brain Orienting, Psychedelic Assisted Psycho therapy, and components of Internal Family Systems we can help the brain/mind reach wellness. I also utilize Circle of Security, Conscious Discipline and the Seven Challenges.

What you can expect from me

We will start in your first session focusing on identifying experiences that contribute to your struggles and how I can help you on your journey to being the best version of you.
