Hi there. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field and earned my degree from the University of Central Florida. I work with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, and the everyday challenges that can quietly build over time. I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, supportive, and free of judgment—a space where you can show up as you are and begin to make sense of what you’re carrying. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure where to begin, we’ll take things one step at a time and focus on what feels most helpful for you. My approach is warm, collaborative, and guided by your unique needs. When you feel ready, support is here.

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, stress, trauma, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I believe therapy should feel supportive, practical, and human; not intimidating or overwhelming. My approach is trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practices like cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and strengths-based work. I work collaboratively with clients to help them better understand their patterns, develop coping tools that actually fit their lives, and build confidence in themselves and their choices. I’m especially passionate about working with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, parents and caregivers, and those balancing multiple responsibilities or feeling stuck at a crossroads. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can show up as you are, gain clarity, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change; at a pace that feels right for you.

I am a trauma-informed mental health counselor who utilizes an eclectic approach to meet the individual needs of my clients. My approaches help us explore both practical skills and deeper self-understanding. I provide a person-centered, non-judgmental space where you can be exactly who you are. Together, we’ll focus on calming the nervous system, building emotional resilience, and fostering self-compassion.

I’m a clinically trained mental health professional with over four years of experience providing therapeutic support to children, adolescents, and adults ages 6 through 65. I work with individuals navigating emotional challenges, life transitions, behavioral concerns, and periods of increased stress, and I strive to meet each client where they are in their journey. My clinical background includes comprehensive assessments, crisis intervention, and ongoing therapy in both community-based and virtual settings. I have experience supporting clients with concerns such as anxiety, trauma-related symptoms, emotional regulation, substance use, and interpersonal difficulties. I approach therapy with care, structure, and intention, using evidence-based practices while remaining flexible to each client’s unique needs and developmental stage. I believe therapy should be a collaborative and supportive process. For children and adolescents, I focus on building emotional awareness, coping skills, and healthy communication while partnering with caregivers when appropriate. With adults, I help clients gain insight, manage stressors, process past experiences, and work toward meaningful personal growth. My therapeutic style is calm, supportive, and direct. I aim to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel comfortable expressing themselves and exploring challenges at their own pace. I value cultural sensitivity, ethical practice, and building strong therapeutic relationships grounded in trust and respect. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern. I am committed to providing compassionate, high-quality care tailored to individuals across the lifespan. If you or your child are seeking support, guidance, or emotional growth, I would be honored to work with you.
