I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Touro University in New York. During my graduate training, I completed my clinical hours at the Postgraduate Center for Mental Health. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in both New York and Florida.
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.
I have a strong nursing background with experience in ICU settings as well as both inpatient and outpatient psychiatry. I’ve also worked in adolescent behavioral/mental health residential programs, which has given me a well-rounded understanding of mental health across different stages of life.
My professional experience is with young adults who struggle with life changes/transitions. Also, young adults who struggle with coping and stress. Individuals who are looking for a safe space to be heard and supported without judgement.
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.

Headway helps you manage obsessive-compulsive disorder with expert-guided support — from finding the right therapist or psychiatrist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an OCD Therapist in Lakeland
Finding OCD therapists in Lakeland starts with looking for training that matches obsessive-compulsive disorder care. OCD can include intrusive thoughts, compulsive behaviors, reassurance seeking, avoidance, and distress around uncertainty. Exposure and Response Prevention, often called ERP, is one approach some therapists use to support people with OCD, and not all therapists are trained in it. As you compare therapists, look for bios that name ERP or clearly describe experience supporting people living with OCD.
Lakeland is a smaller market, so the number of local OCD therapists with specific ERP training may be limited. Virtual appointments can expand your options while still letting you choose a therapist licensed in Florida. It can also help to compare appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles closely can show whether a therapist simply lists OCD as an area of familiarity or has specific training, experience, and structure for OCD-focused care.
Therapy in Lakeland can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before you book. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, review detailed bios, check insurance, see estimated costs upfront, and book directly when you’re ready.
