My core belief is simple: I believe in you and your ability to become the healthiest, most fulfilled version of yourself. Life often makes it hard to see that potential, let alone know how to get there. My role is to be your guide and ally on that journey.

My path to becoming a clinician has been intentional. Beyond my master's degree in counseling and advanced post-master's training, my work in non-profit and community mental health has given me a breadth of experience with people from all walks of life. This doesn't mean "I've seen it all," but it does mean that I'm prepared to meet you where you are, without judgment. No matter what you're going through, if you are ready to take a step, so am I.

Look, nothing gets better if we don't find a way to face it safely. That's why therapy takes courage. It took courage just to get this far, and you already deserve credit for that. When you're ready for that first, brave step of reaching out, I'll be here, ready to loan you some of my hope until you can hold it for yourself.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 16 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. I earned my Master’s Degree in Psychology–Counseling from Palm Beach Atlantic University and have worked across multiple levels of care, including serving as Clinical Director of a psychiatric treatment facility.

I currently work with adults and couples ages 18–80 who are navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, life transitions, and patterns that can leave people feeling stuck. My goal is to help clients understand what’s getting in the way of the life they want and support them in building the skills and confidence needed to move forward.

I work primarily with adults experiencing the effects of developmental trauma, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and relationship difficulties. Many of my clients struggle with feeling disconnected from themselves, navigating major life transitions, or understanding patterns rooted in earlier experiences.

If you want someone who will be straight with you — you're in the right place.

I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 5 years of experience working with adults navigating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I bring honesty, clarity, and genuine compassion to every session. That means I won't sugarcoat what I see, I won't tell you what you want to hear just to make you comfortable, and I won't let you stay stuck when I can see a way forward.

What I will do is show up fully, tell you the truth, and work hard alongside you.

Throughout my 26 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I have seen the incredible power of the human spirit to overcome trauma and unexpected life struggles. Watching my clients transition from "surviving" to "thriving" remains the most inspiring part of my work.
