As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with 32 years of dedicated practice, I have had the profound privilege of walking alongside individuals and families through life's most challenging moments.

I treat the whole person—not just the symptoms. Whether you are navigating the high-stress demands of a career, the deep pain of grief, or the complexities of family dynamics, I bring a perspective that bridges practical problem-solving with deep emotional healing.

I specialize in helping clients overcome:

  • Mood & Anxiety: Panic attacks, depression, OCD, and chronic stress.
  • Life Transitions: Divorce recovery, complicated grief, hospice/end-of-life care, and family restructuring.
  • Behavioral Health: ADHD management and addiction recovery.

My goal is not just to help you cope, but to help you thrive. I believe that healing happens in a safe, non-judgmental space where your unique story is honored.

Therapist

I am the wife of a veteran, and mother of three. I have been working with children, families and couples for over 20 years. I believe in empowering others and helping them find their own peace. I will work with you, meeting you where you are at, allowing you to work at your own pace. I have always had a calling to help and to heal using humor with a shared understanding of this thing, we call life, and the trials that come with it. I'm here to assist clients to understand that there is another side; and on that side there is hope. I graduated from USC, have been trained in several ways to do heal emotional wounds. Together we can work on anything from simple life issues, ADHD, all things to include extreme trauma(s) such as such as domestic violence. Behavioral issues between parent and child are also a specialty. One of the biggest rewards is watching clients achieve the goals that they set for themselves, and finally realizing that they were able to do what they never thought was possible.
