I am a Licensed Mental Health Therapist with 20 years of experience supporting individuals and families from diverse backgrounds. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Maryland, College Park, and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Psychology from Troy University.
Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of clinical settings, providing compassionate, honest, and collaborative care. My goal is to create a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.
My journey began as a deeply personal quest for healing, shaped by significant challenges such as abandonment, neglect, and trauma. Overcoming hardships like poverty, familial substance abuse, and toxic relationships led me to a lifelong struggle with anxiety and feelings of isolation. In my search for relief, I explored countless self-help resources, pursued degrees in psychology, and experimented with therapeutic techniques, yet nothing seemed to offer lasting change.
Everything shifted for me about three years ago when I experienced a transformative moment that inspired the creation of the Blue Lotus Approach. This method has not only helped me heal but has also profoundly impacted my clients, guiding them toward self-awareness and resilience.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor of Mental Health (LPCMH) with 15+ years of experience across school counseling, crisis intervention, and behavioral health. I hold an M.Ed. in School Counseling and am a Certified School Counselor (1–12). I provide individual telehealth counseling and specialize in supporting students navigating school reintegration after hospitalization, residential placement, or extended absence.
Have you lost yourself in the demands of life or relationships? I offer support to women who feel drained, stuck, or invisible reconnect with their identity and reclaim their confidence.
I specialize in helping women who’ve lost their voice in trauma, toxic relationships, or life transitions reclaim their identity and rebuild confidence.
Figuring out who you are, and where you fit, can feel overwhelming, especially when you're carrying anxiety, family stress, relationship challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself. Therapy can be a space where you don't have to have everything figured out.
As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families to create a supportive, affirming environment where people feel safe showing up exactly as they are. Many of the clients I work with are navigating anxiety, identity exploration, family conflict, relationship concerns, stress, or major life transitions. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and develop practical tools that support confidence, resilience, and meaningful growth.
“The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.” — Mulan
For the past five years, I have been honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and self-esteem issues. I also work with clients struggling with mood disorders, OCD, and personality disorders, amongst other conditions. My journey in this field began with my education at the University of Central Florida, where I built the foundation for my clinical practice. It has been my mission to create a space where you can be yourself and we can work together towards healing.
I am a warm, energetic, and down-to-earth therapist who values creating a space where clients feel both supported and empowered. My background includes working with individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, and relationship challenges. In addition to traditional therapy, I am certified in yoga, energy work, and Florida family court mediation, allowing me to offer a more holistic perspective. I am especially passionate about helping couples restore balance and connection, as well as guiding individuals through meaningful life changes. My goal is to meet you where you are while helping you move toward where you want to be.
Taking the first step toward therapy takes courage, and I'm so glad you're here.
I'm a licensed mental health counselor with a master's degree from Capella University, and I've had the privilege of walking alongside people through some of life's most challenging moments — from anxiety and depression to relationship struggles, big life transitions, parenting pressures, and career uncertainty.
My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered therapy, Mindfulness, and Solution-Focused techniques — not because one size fits all, but because you deserve support that actually fits your life. Together, we'll work to build insight, strengthen your resilience, and create real, lasting change.
I work with individuals, couples, families, children, adolescents, and LGBTQ+ clients, and I bring genuine care and an open heart to every session. No matter what brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.
We're all a work in progress — and that's a beautiful thing. I'm here to help you move forward, at your own pace, in your own way.
Trust the process. I'll be with you every step of the way.
