Mental health care shouldn't feel rushed, intimidating, or like you're checking boxes. I believe the best outcomes happen when patients feel comfortable being honest, asking questions, and actively participating in their care. As a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, I provide personalized, evidence-based treatment while remembering that you're much more than a diagnosis. My goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported every step of the way.

Therapist

Virtual • Florida


Therapy with me is very human and genuine. I don’t just focus on what’s painful or stuck but help to highlight the ways in which my clients overcome life's punches. While I take this work seriously, I believe laughter can be healing and disarming in therapy.

I earned my Master’s degree in Counselor Education from Florida International University and have worked in a variety of settings, including the foster care system, residential treatment, and community mental health. My background includes supporting individuals navigating trauma, persistent mental health conditions, substance use, eating disorders, and major life transitions. I’ve also worked with veterans, individuals who are unhoused, and LGBTQIA2S+ clients.

In my practice, I work with clients experiencing anxiety, panic, depression, trauma, identity exploration, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I also support clients with PTSD, some OCD presentations, and concerns related to gender, sexuality, and queer identity. My work is trauma-informed, affirming, and rooted in helping clients feel both emotionally safe and genuinely understood.

I have been practicing as a therapist for 5 years, and specialize in working with mood disorders, attachment trauma, anxiety, addictions, kink, poly/ENM, life transitions, and interpersonal challenges. I am highly collaborative with my clients, and often weave humor and sarcasm into my sessions. Feedback is important to me - the relationship between therapist and client is sacred and one of the biggest predictors of change!

The foundation of my practice is based on the respect I have for my clients, and my therapeutic approach is collaborative and tailored to your needs. As a trained and experienced therapist, I am not only technically objective, but also provide you with emotional nourishment and assistance as you work through problem areas in your life. Psychotherapy is about growth and transformation and equips you to overcome challenges impacting your family, job or relationships. My areas of expertise include addiction, relationship or job-related issues, depression, anxiety and stress. I employ solution focused therapy based on psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness approaches. I am also a qualified Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) to evaluate employees who have violated a DOT drug and alcohol program regulation and makes recommendations concerning education, treatment, follow-up, testing, and aftercare.
