Therapy Session in Florida

I am an encouraging, thoughtful and intentional therapist who uses several modalities for solution-focused results. I graduated from Webster University with a Master’s in Mental Health Counseling but continued to seek specialized skills in removing a person away from their trauma. My approach is warm and grounded in actuality of once being on the other side of mental health and overcoming obstacle after obstacle to achieve excellence in this field. My intention is to help create a judgment free zone for clients to express things they can’t in other spaces. I want to be your hero.

I’m a mental health counselor with over 20 years of experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and young people through life’s challenges. I’m licensed in North Carolina, Florida, and South Carolina, and I take a compassionate, collaborative approach to therapy. My background includes helping people work through trauma, addiction, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, and identity concerns. I pull from approaches like CBT, ACT, trauma‑focused care, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to meet each person where they are. At the heart of my work is a simple goal: to create a safe space where people feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida, and earned my Master’s in Social Work for Florida Atlantic University. I have been working with children and adolescents in the fields of mental and behavioral health for 10 years. My experience includes working in school, home, and virtual settings. I started working in the mental health field, because I have a desire to help people. In school, I was placed in a school-based internship, and this taught me to appreciate the perspective that children bring. I feel that it is important to create a comfortable therapeutic environment for clients. Our sessions are a space for them to feel free to express themselves, and also work on becoming the best versions of themselves.

I am a compassionate and dedicated mental health counselor and a proud graduate of Webster University, with specialized training in child and adolescent mental health. I am deeply committed to supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life’s challenges, including anxiety, depression, anger management, trauma-related concerns, and self-esteem difficulties. My approach to counseling is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices, while honoring the belief that healing and growth are guided by purpose, strength, and hope. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported as they explore their emotions and experiences. I believe that every individual is uniquely created with resilience and potential, and my goal is to help clients uncover their strengths, develop healthy coping strategies, and move forward with clarity and confidence. Through compassionate care and intentional support, I aim to help clients build emotional wellness, personal growth, and lasting resilience.
