I have worked with diverse populations in a variety of settings, including inpatient psychiatric stabilization, homeless prevention, and integrated healthcare. These experiences have allowed me to develop an eclectic skill-set with a person-centered approach. I love being a social worker and having the privilege of helping others heal and grow.
Hello and welcome. I believe that healing happens through a connection of mind, body and spirit. My goal is to provide a supportive space where clients feel understood and empowered to create meaningful change. Drawing from a trauma-informed and strengths-based approach, I help clients identify patterns that may be keeping them stuck while building practical tools for growth and resilience. I believe in the strength of the human spirit and having the ability to reframe core belief's. Whether you are navigating a difficult season or seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I would be honored to support you on your journey.
My experience includes mental health treatment, substance use treatment, eating disorder treatment, intensive family therapy, and grief work. I view each person within the context of their relationships, environment, and life experiences, and tailor treatment to meet their unique needs.
I grew up in South Florida where I developed a lifelong love for dance. I went to college at Florida State University, and it was there, I developed my passion and love for volunteering, working with youth, and developing people. While in graduate school, I focused on eating disorders as a treatment specialty, specifically higher levels of care (residential and partial hospitalization programming). Since 2017, I’ve worked as a therapist in different age groups. Starting with young children and moving on to being a therapist for a middle and high school. In 2022, I was able to return to my first passion in therapy and I started with The Renfrew Center for Eating Disorders. I’ve worked as a primary therapist, a team leader, and a site director with the company’s residential, partial hospitalization, and intensive outpatient programs. I am now opening up some of my time on the side to venture into the private practice world and return to the direct work I fell in love with years ago.
I believe that the client will take the lead in sharing what brings themt to therapy, that we have open discussions and will work together to empower the client to find ways to manage their struggles or concerns

Headway makes it easy to find support for your relationship — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Couples Therapist in Fort Lauderdale
Searching for couples therapists in Fort Lauderdale starts with knowing what you want to work on together. Couples therapy can support communication patterns, recurring conflict, trust after infidelity, major life changes, and parenting disagreements. Not all therapists have specific training in couples work, so look for licensed marriage and family therapists, or therapists who list approaches like the Gottman Method or emotionally focused therapy. A therapist’s profile can also help you understand how they structure sessions and how they work with both partners.
Fort Lauderdale offers local options for couples therapy, with added flexibility through virtual appointments across Florida. The right fit depends on practical details as much as clinical experience. Consider whether you prefer in-person couples therapy near home or work, whether evening or weekend times fit both schedules, and whether the therapist offers a brief consultation before the first session. Reading bios before booking can help both partners compare communication style, specialties, and session expectations.
Couples therapy in Fort Lauderdale can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway makes it easier to find marriage counseling in Fort Lauderdale by showing therapists who are accepting new patients and offer virtual or in-person appointments. You can enter your insurance details on Headway to confirm what coverage is available for your specific plan and see estimated costs before booking. You can review profiles, see estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you're experiencing or worried about violence, threats, or coercion in your relationship, couples therapy isn't usually the right starting point — individual support is safer. The National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
