I have 9 years of experience working in psychiatric nursing before becoming a nurse practitioner. I worked at Northeast Florida State Hospital in Macclenny, Florida for 9 years as an Registered Nurse. I understand the pitfalls of institutionalization and the path of recovery is a long one but still is achievable with the right support system.

If you're carrying anxiety that won't quiet down, grief that hasn't had space to breathe, or the weight of holding your family together while losing yourself in the process, you're not alone. I've spent over 16 years working with adults and older adults, many walking into therapy for the first time after years of pushing through in silence. My clients describe me as warm, calm, and someone they can be honest with without feeling judged. Sessions available in English and Spanish. ¿Prefieres terapia en español? Bienvenida.

Therapist

If you're struggling with anxiety, identity questions, relationship challenges, grief, trauma, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others, you're not alone. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by life transitions, family dynamics, cultural expectations, or the stress of navigating a world that doesn't always feel safe or affirming. Others are working through LGBTQ+ concerns, exploring their identity, healing from past experiences, or looking for support as they build healthier relationships and greater self-confidence.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I provide a warm, affirming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported. My goal is to help you better understand what's contributing to your challenges, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support healing, emotional well-being, and meaningful personal growth. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, trauma, identity exploration, relationships, or major life changes, I strive to help you create a life that feels more authentic, connected, and fulfilling.
