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.

I began working in the field of Mental Health in 2004, serving the female population. After three years, I decided to make this a career choice and studied at Springfield College to earn a master’s degree as a Mental Health Counselor. The first paid position I accepted was offered by a non-profit in Brandon, FL, where I served as a Group Facilitator and Counselor to adult and adolescent populations. In this position, I discovered my passion for counseling and helping others grow.

I’ve spent years sitting with people at their lowest—through addiction, crisis, and the kind of pain that can make life feel unmanageable. That work taught me something I bring into every session now: nobody is “too much,” and no story is too messy. These days, I’m more focused on slower, steadier work. Whether you’re worn down by depression, gripping through stress, or finally ready to be honest about drinking or using, I’ll meet you where you are with steadiness, honesty, and compassion. You don’t need the right words yet; we’ll figure it out together.
