Therapist

Life can feel overwhelming when you are carrying anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, identity-related challenges, or the pressure of trying to navigate the expectations of others while remaining true to yourself. Therapy offers a space to slow down, process your experiences, and build healthier ways of coping and moving forward. You do not have to face these challenges alone.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am committed to creating a compassionate, affirming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe being fully themselves.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, and understand the importance of feeling seen, respected, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.

I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University and my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology with a minor in Women’s Studies from University of Florida, graduating cum laude from both programs.

My professional and personal experiences have strengthened my passion for advocacy, inclusivity, and empowering others to embrace their individuality and resilience. I believe healing begins with connection, authenticity, and self-acceptance. Reaching out for support can feel difficult, but it is also a powerful first step toward growth and healing. My goal is to help clients feel empowered, understood, and supported as they work toward becoming the healthiest and most authentic version of themselves.

I believe therapy should be a space where you feel comfortable, heard, and supported. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), wife, and mother, I understand that life can be both rewarding and challenging. Through my own life experiences, I have gained insight into the complexities of relationships, family responsibilities, career demands, and personal growth. I work with adolescents, adults, and couples facing concerns such as anxiety, stress, grief, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. Clients often describe me as warm, approachable, and easy to talk to. My goal is to help you gain insight, develop practical tools, and move toward meaningful growth and healing while feeling supported every step of the way.
