As a licensed Mental Health Counselor, I specialize in supporting children, adolescent, and young adults. I focus on emotional regulation, anxiety, stress management, depression, self-esteem, social skills, and disruptive behavior disorders. I support client's individual needs by providing a safe, compassionate, judgement free space where you can feel acknowledged, listened to with attention, empathy, and respect. My approach is highly personalized, adapting therapy to meet each client's unique needs. I believe in a person-centered perspective to counseling where I can guide you to self-discovery and personal growth. I also believe that people can change unhealthy thoughts and behaviors through Cognitive Behavioral techniques, as well as solution-focused strategies. I prioritize building a strong therapeutic relationship, providing effective coping strategies to help you overcome challenges and improve your overall emotional well-being. I am passionate about guiding you towards a healthier, more fulfilling life. My goal is to help you achieve long-term well-being.

I am a compassionate mental health counselor who began as a teacher. After teaching Behavior Disorders for 10 years, I graduated from University of St. Louis-Missouri with a counseling degree and was a school counselor for the last 14 years of my public school career. Since that time, I ran my own practice from home, worked on line with many telehelp clients, and worked a year at an Air Force Base. I am deeply passionate about supporting children, adolescents, and adults as they navigate life's challenges, including anxiety, depression, anger management, ADHD, PTSD, and self-esteem concerns. My approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and evidence-based practices. I create a caring, non-judgemental, safe environment where clients feel heard and can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of self-worth.

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.
