ADHD Testing in Florida

I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate anxiety, stress, self-esteem concerns, life transitions, relationship challenges, and school or career stress. Whether you're a teenager figuring out who you are or a young adult navigating what comes next, I understand that these stages of life can feel overwhelming, especially when balancing personal growth, identity, independence, responsibilities, and the expectations of others. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you are truly heard, supported, and even happy to show up. I meet you where you are. No judgment, no pressure, just an open, genuine connection. I'm not afraid to show emotion, laugh with you, and bring warmth into our sessions, because healing doesn't always have to feel heavy. My background in school-based mental health has given me extensive experience working with individuals facing emotional, behavioral, social, and environmental stressors that can impact well-being and daily functioning. I use evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness-based techniques to help clients better understand themselves, strengthen coping skills, build confidence, and move toward meaningful change. My goal is to help clients develop resilience, clarity, and practical tools to navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and self-compassion.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida and for over 10 years I have had the honor of helping individuals navigate through life's challenges. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, coping with grief and loss and depression. The most common approaches I use are Cognitive Behavioral and Solution Focused with Motivational Interview Technique. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment where individuals can explore their emotions, develop coping strategies, and build a stronger sense of self-worth. My goal is to help clients uncover their strengths, gain clarity, and create a path toward personal growth and resilience.
