Utilizing evidence-based practices, I support children, teens, and young adults who are experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, trauma and life changes. My approach is warm, authentic, solution-oriented as well as empowering. Building a strong foundation of confidence, coping skills and application allows you to begin reclaiming your life. I am here to help you navigate this part of your life’s journey.

I am a licensed clinical social worker. I have spent the last five years working with children and teens, as well as adults using an authentic and approachable method of therapy that combines research backed, evidenced based practices with creative methods to help clients feel like each session is uniquely tailored to them and not just a printout or ai generated activity. My approach is to make sure each client feels seen, heard, and understood.

I bring 20 years of experience in the mental health field to her work with adults, older adults, children, and adolescents navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, and a wide range of clinical concerns. Credentials & Experience I earned my graduate degree from Walden University, with prior education at Hodges University and Pasco Hernando Community College. Over the course of two decades in the mental health field, I have worked as a case manager and therapist in a psychiatric hospital for 15 years, transitioned into partial hospitalization program (PHP) work for two years, and spent the last several years in private practice. Specialties & Conditions Treated I specialize in depression, anxiety, social anxiety, PTSD, adjustment disorders, grief and loss, bipolar disorder, substance abuse, social skills development, anger management, and couples therapy. My depth of experience across inpatient, partial hospitalization, and private practice settings allows me to support clients through a wide range of clinical presentations. Approach to Care I use a therapeutic style centered around each individual’s unique needs. Helping clients build on their strengths while identifying areas for growth, working from an empathetic and respectful stance that aims to alleviate pain, stress, and internal struggle. I offer support, respect, and empathy while truly listening to her clients’ stories. I acknowledge that taking the first step to reach out for support is itself a challenging experience — and believe that, as clients reach their goals, the work itself becomes deeply rewarding. What to Expect in Your First Session Your first session with me is a chance to share your story in a space where you’ll feel listened to without judgment. I'll ask about what brought you in, what you’ve tried before, and what kind of support feels most useful right now. From there, I'll work with you to identify your strengths and begin shaping a path forward that honors both who you are today and who you want to become.
