Online Therapy for Kids, Teens & Young Adults in Port St. Lucie

I am a licensed mental health counselor with 5+ years of counseling experience. I have a passion for helping adolescents navigate their individual struggles and form a unique relationship with each client to ensure a space that is safe, comfortable, and challenging when necessary. I tailor sessions to fit client's needs and believe in treating clients respectfully. I value collaboration between the therapist, client, and caregiver to ensure successful completion of therapy goals.

I am a compassionate, dependable, and consistent therapist dedicated to creating a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. I work with children, adolescents, and adults who are navigating a range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, ADHD-related difficulties, and behavioral concerns in teens. My approach is centered on truly getting to know each client so that treatment is tailored to their unique needs, strengths, and goals.

My goal is to walk alongside each client wherever they need to go, to help them find their strengths, clarity, and move their life in a more fulfilling direction. I support ages 10 and up as they navigate life's many challenges. My approach is individualized and grounded in empathy, active listening, and evidence-based practices -such as person-centered therapy, CBT, mindfulness, play- and art therapy. I create a warm, safe, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel free to express themselves.

I work with children and families to support and strengthen their connections. I do individual and family counseling. Growing up is hard and so is parenting! We all have times when we could use extra support. Working with children means talking, role playing, games, and other activities. You can learn a lot using all of these! I am certified in Cognitive Behavioral Intervention for Trauma in Schools and Rebound and Recovery. I have experience with many approaches, including CBT and TF-CBT.

With over 25 years' experience with children and parents/caregivers, I offer a non-judgmental space for clients of any age. I strive to help all clients find their voice, know when to use it and when to just save their own peace of mind. I love to guide others to learn how to express their boundaries with respect. Learning that we all have strengths, even just to say "No" can really help ease that anxiety and pressure. I would be honored to say to you: "How I can help?"

I am a compassionate Marriage and Family Therapist Registered Intern and work with adolescents, adults, couples, and families navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relational conflict, life transitions, and self-esteem concerns. My clinical experience includes supporting clients impacted by trauma, emotional abuse, domestic violence, parental divorce, substance-related family dynamics, and complex loss. My approach is collaborative, grounded in empathy, creating a safe, nonjudgmental space.
