I provide both outpatient mental health therapy and substance abuse/use assessments and therapy to all members of the community. Clients experiencing such issues as depression/anxiety, PTSD/trauma, life changes, gender identity concerns, and substance use will benefit from the services I offer. I utilize a person centered approach and work collaboratively with clients to address their needs. I meet clients 'where they are' and work with them to identify positive interventions and change. The comprehensive clinical assessments and substance abuse assessments I provide meet criteria for court ordered and school referred clients and can be completed in office or at your location.

I believe that we all have the potential to feel and live better, even if life circumstances are challenging. Many people find it difficult to feel confident and self assured, have peaceful, fulfilling relationships, navigate the demands of family, work, and home, and also focus on nourishing self care. These challenges are interconnected and are related to how we have developed our sense of self in the context of our family's expectations, our experiences, societal demands, cultural assumptions, and media influence. It's necessary to learn new ways to live our best lives in these particular circumstances. You are not alone.

Most of our society lives on autopilot. People focus on getting through the day with habits in place that seem to work for them, but keep them from wholehearted joyful living. Then, one day something happens to make living on autopilot no longer an option and feelings of anxiety, depression, dread, etc, emerge and life becomes hard to handle. This can lead to feeling out of control. Relationships become difficult to navigate. Folx reach a fork in the road; seek help or continue to try the same methods hoping that life will get better. Do you find yourself hoping for more? Do you want more from yourself and your relationships?

Being able to help others has always been a passion of mine. My educational and professional experience has allowed me to create a broad variety of specialties. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Central Florida in 2004. During my stay, I was able to work with specialty organizations that focused on equality and activism for groups such as LGBTQ+, military support, and women's rights. The following year, I was able to dive deeper into the complexities of systems theory while at Nova Southeastern University.

Trauma and difficult life experiences can shatter your world. You might feel overwhelmed by the past. You may question your judgment, your self-worth, and even your sanity. You may blame yourself for what happened or believe you are "dirty" or "damaged goods." Relationships feel dangerous, and intimacy difficult. And on top of that, you may struggle with PTSD, anxiety, and depression. Finally, you found the courage to rediscover your voice and self-worth. You want to find someone who truly understands the depth of your pain and can help you reclaim your life.
