Hello and I am so glad you are here! Since beginning my clinical practice in 2008 I have learned the foundation for healing lies in the therapeutic relationship, therefore our first few sessions are about building a foundation of trust. I focus on deeply listening to your story and understanding the specific concerns that led you here. I’ll share how my approach works—blending clinical expertise with a genuine, person-centered focus—and we’ll collaborate on a roadmap that feels right for you. My goal is to provide a judgement free space where you can become curious about your challenges, gain clarity, and begin moving toward the life you envision.

10400 Griffin Road, Davie, FL

Welcome — I’m so glad you’re here. I’m a licensed mental health therapist who works with adults navigating the messy, overwhelming, and deeply human parts of life. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and rooted in the connection between the mind and body. I integrate evidence-based practices with Brainspotting and nervous system-focused work to help clients create meaningful, lasting change.


I support individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and attachment wounds, mood-related challenges, low self-esteem, perfectionism, parental stress, workplace burnout, and major life transitions. I also have a passion for helping women reconnect with themselves through different seasons of life.


My goal is to help you feel more grounded, connected, and empowered — not just in sessions, but in your everyday life. Therapy with me is a space where you can show up fully as yourself while we work toward healing, insight, and lasting growth together.

While every person's journey is unique, many clients report feeling more hopeful, confident, and emotionally grounded as they begin the therapeutic process. Seeking therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. My goal is to create a space where you feel comfortable, understood, and never judged.

For more than a decade, I've worked with children, teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, and everyday stress. I believe that the foundation of successful therapy is a genuine, trusting relationship. I take the time to get to know you, meet you where you are, and tailor treatment to your unique needs and goals.

Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and easy to talk to. They appreciate that I balance listening and validation with practical tools they can begin using in their daily lives. Whether you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply ready for change, we'll work together at a pace that feels right for you. My hope is that you'll leave each session feeling heard, supported, and equipped with strategies to help you move forward with greater confidence and clarity.
