When people are at the point of yearning for something different but find themselves stuck and needing an ally to support them in the journey of being the best version of themselves, therapy is a great resource. When people experience trauma, it is not uncommon for life to become overwhelming. When people struggle and feel stuck it can be difficult to figure out where to start. My passion is triggering that yearning to help others develop a mindset and lifestyle where they work towards being the best version of themselves. I am excited to support you in your journey of being the best version of yourself!

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, relationship challenges, depression, low self-esteem, or just feeling a bit overwhelmed, I am here to support, guide, and empower you to make positive changes in your life. I will walk with you on your personal journey and help you face the obstacles that are on your path…and if you don’t yet know where you want your path to lead and you are struggling to find your sense of meaning and purpose, I am here to help you with that too.

The importance of understanding the mind and its profound complexity, establishes the central role, that I help to facilitate between identifying, addressing, and alleviating one's presenting concerns. This requires a great deal of commitment, that I look forward to exploring with you as we navigate this focused time together. Choosing to establish roots in this profession brings great satisfaction, both professionally and personally, to me, as I assist in one's intimate journey of mental health. I received a Bachelor's in Social Work in 2010, from the University of West Florida and began a post-graduation career in child-welfare.

Many are called to the profession of counseling, but very few are chosen. I have been chosen to guide others in finding direction, insight, and purpose. I am confident, compassionate, and unwavering in my desire to help clients see the light in the face of darkness. While my general philosophy is that therapy should be interpersonal, client-centered, and support based, I also believe in asking tough questions that challenge my client's existing mental conceptions and problem solving methodologies. My personal motto is "Challenge the thinking; change the behavior." Your mind is the battlefield of your life. Let me help you win!

“Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime.” In therapy, you’ll learn to navigate all that life has to offer, even when it might not feel good. BUT, you survived! Congratulations, you’re halfway there, but you must learn how to steer the boat.
