Therapy Session in Florida

As a therapist, I like to provide clients with an empathetic and nonjudgmental space to explore their feelings, using a collaborative approach to support clients. At the same time, they understand and learn skills to regulate their emotions. I have worked with children and adults since 2016, helping them learn to regulate negative emotions, regain focus and sense of wellbeing. I strive to provide a nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to unpack and explore their feelings. I specialize in empowering clients to manage anxiety, depression, chronic mental illnesses, as well as major life transitions, grief, and trauma.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and doctoral intern in clinical psychology, with a focus on supporting children, adolescents, and young adults.

I help young people make sense of their experiences and understand how their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are shaped by what they have been through. My approach is warm, nonjudgmental, and empowering, grounded in evidence-based practices like CBT and always tailored to each individual’s needs. I believe that healing begins with feeling seen, and I work collaboratively with clients to build insight, strengthen coping strategies, and grow with confidence into who they are becoming.
