I have a BS degree in Health Science from San Jose State University and an MSW degree from the University of Southern California. Yes, I’m originally from California. I’m a licensed clinical social worker in both California and Florida. I was first licensed in 2003. For the first ten years of my practice, I worked with children, adolescents, and families.
I have over eight years of experience supporting individuals whose mental health is affected by health and medical issues. Finally, I’m trained in Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR) and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP).
My core belief is simple: I believe in you and your ability to become the healthiest, most fulfilled version of yourself. Life often makes it hard to see that potential, let alone know how to get there. My role is to be your guide and ally on that journey.
My path to becoming a clinician has been intentional. Beyond my master's degree in counseling and advanced post-master's training, my work in non-profit and community mental health has given me a breadth of experience with people from all walks of life. This doesn't mean "I've seen it all," but it does mean that I'm prepared to meet you where you are, without judgment. No matter what you're going through, if you are ready to take a step, so am I.
Look, nothing gets better if we don't find a way to face it safely. That's why therapy takes courage. It took courage just to get this far, and you already deserve credit for that. When you're ready for that first, brave step of reaching out, I'll be here, ready to loan you some of my hope until you can hold it for yourself.

Find the right LGBTQ-friendly therapy provider for you
Headway makes it easier to connect with affirming therapists who understand your identity — from finding the right therapist, to understanding costs, to scheduling with ease.
Factors to Consider When Choosing an LGBTQIA+ Therapist in Tampa
Finding LGBTQIA+ therapists in Tampa starts with looking for care that is identity-affirming and specific to your needs. The right therapist may support concerns related to identity, gender exploration, relationship stress, anxiety, depression, or trauma. As you compare options, look for therapists who list experience with LGBTQIA+ populations, affirmative therapy, WPATH training, or gender-diverse care. These details can help you find someone whose background aligns with the kind of support you want.
Tampa has a range of mental health options, but affirming therapists may vary by neighborhood, schedule, and appointment format. Virtual therapy can expand your options if nearby offices have limited availability or if you prefer care from home. You can also narrow your search by appointment times, whether a therapist is accepting new patients, therapeutic approach, and therapist background or identity. Reading bios before booking can show how a therapist describes their work with LGBTQIA+ clients, how they structure sessions, and what a first appointment may include.
Therapy in Tampa can be a significant investment without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand your out-of-pocket expense before care begins. Headway helps you search for LGBTQIA+-affirming therapists who match your preferences, review estimated costs after entering your insurance details, and book directly when you’re ready.
