I have experience working with couples, children, teens, adults, and their families, utilizing various models and techniques. I specialize with clients that suffer from anxiety, depression, trauma, as well as an extensive range of challenges including but not limited to crisis, adjustment concerns, addiction, family relationships, a wide range of diagnosis, and grief/loss. I have guided many families with parenting concerns, teen concerns, children’s behavioral concerns, and relationship/communication building. This process is collaborative, meaning everything will be personalized to your needs and experiences.
I’m a Florida board-certified Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, certified in Traumatic Incident Reduction (TIR), and certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TFCBT). I completed my Master’s in Counseling with a concentration in Mental Health at Nova Southeastern University & my PhD in Family Therapy.
My passion is joining you on your journey by providing you with a space where you can unlock your true potential. Everyone is unique in their own way, and I promise to cherish that. Life doesn’t have to be a constant struggle; it can be an adventure. It takes courage to start your therapy journey, and I am here for you when you are ready to start!
