I am here to help foster hope on your journey. My goal is to create a respectful and enriching environment that can help you or your family to improve insight, communication, or identify positive coping skills to meet life's challenges. I am a client-centered counselor who believes a non-judgmental environment helps to set the stage for healing and empowerment. Whether that's navigating current life stressors and transitions, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, parenting, or relationships.
The goal of my practice is to help restore balance in your life. I offer therapy to families, individual adults, children, and teens. I am not a Christian Counselor, nor affiliated with any religion, but always welcome a client's spiritual/religious beliefs in sessions.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor LMHC, Qualified Supervisor, National Certified Counselor (NCC), member of Florida Counseling Association, Chi Sigma Iota, American Mental Health Counselors Association, American Counseling Association. I was educated at a CACREP institution with the most rigorous standards. I am an LGBTQ+ Ally, and offer a safe space.

I often use several therapeutic approaches in my practice such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and strength based approaches, among others. During your first session, we'll explore your personal history as well as what brought you to therapy. Over time we will focus on setting goals and making incremental changes. We will work together to help you meet your needs and obtain your goals.
