Online Therapy for Kids, Teens, and Parents in Fort Lauderdale

I am a Registered Clinical Social Work Intern (RCSWI) in Florida and earned my Master of Social Work from Florida State University. I am passionate about creating a supportive, welcoming space where clients feel comfortable being themselves, exploring challenges, and working toward meaningful change. I provide therapy to children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families, supporting clients with concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD-related challenges, emotional and behavioral difficulties, anger, grief and loss, trauma, relationship and family conflict, self-esteem, coping skills, and life transitions. When working with children and teens, I value meeting them where they are developmentally while also collaborating with caregivers when appropriate. My therapeutic style is compassionate, collaborative, strengths-based, and trauma-informed. I incorporate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, grounding, and psychoeducation while tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs. I believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported without judgment. My goal is not only to help clients navigate current challenges, but also to help them better understand themselves, recognize their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and build confidence that extends beyond the therapy room.

At certain points in our lives, we may experience challenges, stressors, and difficulties that may feel too overwhelming or painful to handle. I chose to pursue a course of professional study and work, that has allowed me to make an impact on the lives of people. My focus has always been on promoting well-being and client strengths, rather than on focusing solely on the negative effects of problems, to bring about change in people’s lives. I have a passion for helping clients gain recovery, and to reach a state of openness where healing may begin. I have found that the most rewarding element of counseling is helping people reach a state of joy where they are living their fullest life, and I am dedicated to working with each and every client towards this goal. I am an experienced, well tested, compassionate, and highly devoted mental health counselor with years of professional experience counseling individuals and families from different backgrounds suffering from mental health conditions, including major depression, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, crisis situations, addiction, and more. I have an outgoing personality, along with expertise in rapport building and utilize a wide range of therapeutic applications to help clients develop solutions and gain insight into their situations. With the theoretical knowledge I have gained through my studies, combined with my years of practical and professional experience, I have been blessed to play this essential role in the lives of my clients; and it is my goal always to continue improving my ability to make an impact.
