Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, confusing, and difficult to navigate alone, but they can also be an opportunity for meaningful change. I offer an integrative approach to address the root causes of what you’re experiencing. Treatment may include medications when helpful, while attention to sleep, nutrition, movement, and social connectedness helps strengthen long-term resilience and well-being. Using a therapeutic approach, we offer space to explore patterns, build insight, and develop practical tools for change. I am here to help you feel better, live meaningfully, and thrive.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming especially when you’re already feeling stuck, exhausted, anxious, or unsure of what you need. I believe therapy works best when you feel genuinely understood, not judged or “fixed.” My goal is to create a space where you can be honest about what’s really going on, feel supported through the hard parts, and develop tools that help you feel more grounded and confident in your life.
I work with adults navigating eating disorders, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, chronic illness, relationship and communication difficulties, attachment wounds, and major life transitions. I’ve worked across residential, PHP, IOP, and outpatient settings, giving me experience supporting people through both acute challenges and longer-term healing.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and compassionate, while still being honest and practical. We’ll work together to understand the patterns that may be keeping you stuck not just manage symptoms, but understand why they’re happening and what you want to do differently.
You don’t have to have everything figured out before starting therapy. If you’re ready to better understand yourself, break old patterns, and build a life that feels more like your own, I’d be honored to help.
I am a compassionate listener who is focused on helping to improve our patient's quality of life.
My background is in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, where I earned my Master's from the University of Central Florida. I work with children, adolescents, and adults navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship concerns, and difficulties with self-esteem and emotional regulation. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person’s unique experiences.
Healing from trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions can feel overwhelming, especially when you've spent years carrying burdens that were never meant to be carried alone. You may feel stuck between who you are and who others expect you to be, weighed down by painful experiences, family dynamics, cultural expectations, or the pressure to keep everything together while struggling internally. Whether you're coping with complex trauma, sexual trauma, relationship challenges, anxiety, self-doubt, or significant life changes, you deserve a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, depression, mood changes, or emotions that seem difficult to manage on your own. I believe everyone deserves a space where they feel heard without judgment and supported through life's challenges. Whether you're navigating ADHD, bipolar disorder, anger management concerns, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, identity questions, or simply feeling stuck, my goal is to help you better understand yourself while building the tools you need to move forward. I work with both adolescents and adults, recognizing that every stage of life brings unique experiences and obstacles. Together, we'll create a supportive, collaborative environment where you can explore what's weighing on you, discover your strengths, and work toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for you.
Hi there! I am a bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 6 years of experience in the field.

Find the right therapist for you
Headway makes it easy to find support for your mental health — from finding the right provider, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Sanford
Finding therapists in Sanford starts with knowing what kind of support and fit you want. You may be looking for help with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, life transitions, or stress. As you compare Sanford therapists, look for someone whose listed specialties, therapy style, and experience match your needs. A therapist’s bio can also show how they structure sessions, communicate, and approach care.
Sanford is a smaller city, so nearby in-person options may vary by neighborhood and schedule. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Florida. As you narrow your search, consider whether the therapist is accepting new patients, offers appointment times that fit your calendar, and provides a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare approach, availability, and fit in one place.
Therapy in Sanford can be a significant expense 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 accept a wide range of insurance plans, review estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
If you or someone you know is experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms — especially from alcohol or benzodiazepines — talk to a medical provider or seek emergency care before starting outpatient therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or substance use and is in a crisis, immediately reach out to:
* 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline — call or text 988 * SAMHSA National Helpline — 1-800-662-HELP (4357), free, confidential, 24/7 * Crisis Text Line — text HOME to 741741
