We cannot change the past, and everyone's story is different, but we can find hope, help, and healing by working together. Working together as a team we will find balance and peace within yourself, overcome obstacles related to mental health and substance abuse issues, develop tools for personal growth, and move forward in your life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, which has successfully worked with all lifestyles. In my counseling practice, I specialize in helping individuals experiencing low self-esteem, depression, anger, phobias, anxiety, worry, grief, trauma, addictions, relationship issues, LGBTQ+, gender issues, and much more.

My guiding principle is to meet clients where they are and help them grow and develop the skillset they need to reach their full potential. All services are tailored to meet each client's unique needs using the appropriate mental health counseling modalities.

Types of therapy that will be utilized are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Family/Marital, Family Systems, Mindfulness-Based (MBGT), Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), person-centered, and Christian Counseling.

I primarily treat patients experiencing anxiety and depression, as well as conditions such as OCD, ADHD, and mood disorders. My approach is holistic, addressing the physiological, cognitive, and emotional aspects of mental health to support overall well-being.

As a board-certified Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner with a Doctorate in Nursing Practice from the University of Central Florida, I am committed to providing comprehensive, patient-centered care. I believe in treating the whole person—mind, body, and soul—and meeting each individual where they are in their journey.
