I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to providing thoughtful, compassionate care to individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel truly heard and understood as we work toward meaningful, lasting change.

With extensive experience in both school systems and clinical settings, I support children, adolescents, and adults through high-stress and crisis situations.

As a bilingual clinician, I am proud to provide services in both English and Spanish, helping expand access to care for diverse communities across Florida. I am especially passionate about helping my clients move through emotional challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence.

You don’t have to navigate this alone.

I’m a Licensed Mental Health and ART trauma therapist passionate about helping adults and teens manage the overwhelming challenges of life—whether it's anxiety, depression, trauma, or simply feeling stuck.

I have nearly a decade of experience working with a variety of individuals with many backgrounds. I emphasize the importance of a trauma-informed and supportive approach. I have expertise in treating a number of diagnoses, including ADHD, anxiety, bipolar disorder, depression, and trauma. I offer a number of modalities, including CBT, MI, DBT, EMDR and IFS.

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 specialize in working with adults experiencing a variety of anxiety disorders, including panic attacks, generalized anxiety, and phobias, as well as adults with ADHD. I also support clients who have difficulty regulating emotions and navigating the impact these patterns can have on relationships. Many of my clients are thoughtful, insightful, and self-aware, yet feel stuck in exhausting cycles of fear, reassurance-seeking, self-doubt, and overstimulation. You may feel like you know better, but anxiety continues to run the show. I aim to create a space where you feel understood, safe, and able to show up exactly as you are.

I'm a Florida LCSW with 4 years helping teens and adults navigate crisis, substance use, and life transitions—whether in hospital, detox, residential, or outpatient settings. I focus on real-world tools, insight, and building lasting confidence.

I have been a counselor for more than 30 years. I remain passionate about making a difference in the lives of others and believe that genuine caring is an essential element to an effective counseling relationship. Over the years I have worked with clients with significant trauma and loss. I consider it a privilege to stand with another individual as he or she resolves great pain. I specialize in treating clients with trauma, relationship issues, and borderline personality disorder.

I am licensed in Florida with multiple years of experience. I have experience in helping clients with mental health problems. Currently, my focus is Anxiety and Depression.

Maybe the anxiety hums under everything you do, or motherhood looks nothing like the version you pictured. Maybe you are carrying a loss other people have stopped asking about. Whatever brought you here, you deserve a place to say it out loud without softening it first. I work with women through pregnancy, postpartum, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a parent, and with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, and stress that has stopped feeling temporary. Much of my career has been spent beside people in their hardest seasons, and what looks like falling apart is often the start of something honest.
