Do you want to feel more confident, more fulfilled, and more connected with yourself and with others? Do you want to treat yourself better - with more acceptance, compassion, and self-care? And, do you want to feel like you are living more grounded in the present moment? Sometimes, our past hurts and traumas can affect how we see ourselves, other people, and the world around us. They can affect our thoughts, feelings, and actions. And, they can cause us to act in ways that hurt the ones we love and go against our values, morals, and principles. We all want a life of meaning and purpose. I can help you achieve this.


I offer evidence-based treatments and approaches that are tailored to your individual needs and preferences. I am a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist and I am trained in EMDR. I specialize in helping people heal from the effects of childhood trauma. I also specialize in treating chronic pain that is not responding well to medical or physical treatments.


If you are motivated and want to stop just "going through the motions" and start really living your life, I would be honored to work with you. I will work collaboratively, with you, to help you identify and achieve your goals. I have helped many others and would love to help you. Please call or email me now for a free 20 minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

I started my career in New York City then moved my practice to the sunny state of Florida. My experience over the past 15 years is working with adults navigating everything from everyday stress to deeper emotional wounds. Life gets complicated sometimes, but you don't have to do it alone! Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside people through their most vulnerable moments—and watching them rediscover their strength, gain clarity and build confidence.

I believe therapy works best when it feels human, so let me start by telling you a little about me. Outside of session, you will usually find me outdoors. I take long walks with my husband and our dachshund. I spend as much time in nature as I can, I go to yoga classes, longboard and sing. Those things keep me grounded, and they are part of why I believe so much in the value of small, sustainable practices that bring you back to yourself.

In my practice, I work with adults navigating depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma, and questions of identity. I also support people through family issues, relationship struggles, stress and burnout, ADHD, and grief. I am inquisitive, warm, and not easily rattled.

Life can feel overwhelming when anxiety, depression, trauma, or difficult life transitions begin affecting your relationships, confidence, and ability to enjoy everyday life. You may feel emotionally exhausted, stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, or uncertain about how to move forward. You don't have to carry those struggles alone, and meaningful change is possible. I partner with individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, cultural and ethnic issues, women's issues, and trauma so they can build confidence, strengthen relationships, and create a greater sense of balance and emotional wellbeing. Working with adolescents and adults in both English and Spanish, I strive to create a welcoming, culturally responsive environment where you feel understood, respected, and empowered to grow.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years in the counseling field, including 8 years of clinical experience working with adults and adolescents navigating anxiety, stress, depression, trauma, grief, and difficult life transitions. I have a Master’s degree in Professional Counseling and am trained in EMDR and trauma-focused therapy. I especially enjoy working with women and mothers as they navigate relationships, family life, identity, and the emotional demands of motherhood. Having experienced infertility and the journey to parenthood myself, I have a personal understanding of the grief, uncertainty, and complicated emotions that can accompany that experience. My approach is warm, collaborative, and individualized, creating a space where you can feel safe, understood, and supported. As a Christian, I’m also able to incorporate a Christian counseling lens into therapy if faith is important to you, while respecting each client’s individual beliefs, values, and preferences.
