I have extensive and successful experience helping people with trauma/PTSD, relationships, boundaries, emotions, domestic violence, sexual trauma, substance abuse, grief, parenting, and more.

l have been practicing for over 20 years. Listening to my clients and helping them navigate this increasingly complex world is my starting point. In therapy, I meet you where you are to help you look inward to find yourself and your strength.

With over 10 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, I’ve supported individuals through some of the most challenging moments in their lives—including anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and substance use.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work through what’s going on and begin finding a path forward that feels realistic and manageable.

My background in healthcare settings has given me experience working with both mental health and medical challenges, allowing me to take a more holistic view of what you’re going through.

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotions that seem difficult to manage on your own. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard without judgment and supported through life's challenges. Whether you're navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while building the tools you need to move forward. I work with both adolescents and adults, recognizing that every stage of life brings unique experiences and obstacles. Together, we'll create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore what's weighing on you, discover your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and currently accepting new clients.

I support clients with stress management, emotional and anger regulation, communication and relationship concerns, life transitions, and everyday stressors. I offer a compassionate, welcoming space to begin meaningful change.

I am a real, transparent, and authentic individual who has known pain and has not let this define me. I am hearing-impaired and lost 88% of my hearing but I do not let that stand in my way. I am non-judgmental and want to meet you right where you're at and help you achieve goals you set for yourself. This is a partnership.
