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.

For more than thirty years, my life’s work has helped clients achieve freedom—both on their favorite "stage" and in their lives. My practical, action-oriented approach to therapy is a unique balance of gentleness and challenge. I specialize in building resilience, guiding clients to face their fears, overcoming limiting beliefs, processing grief, and taking charge of their lives. My work integrates the essential task of addressing unresolved “stuff” from the past with the development of skills to create a vibrant and fulfilling future. I deeply value the power of meaningful relationships. I love coaching parents and partners committed to bettering themselves, to better their relationships. I believe the relationship we cultivate with ourselves deserves equal care and compassion. Together, we’ll uncover your “best self” and bring it forward to navigate the challenges of today’s world. It would be my privilege to be your healing partner on your adventure today.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and doctoral intern in clinical psychology, with a focus on supporting children, adolescents, and young adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, life transitions, and identity development, including exploration of culture, values, gender, and sense of self.

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.

I've always loved working with children. As a Varying Exceptionality teacher, I taught K-2 and grades 5-8. This passion expanded into an interest in working with adolescents in a variety of settings with a broad range of care needs. I've worked with youth in the juvenile and foster systems as well as with teens struggling with generalized anxiety and depression. I also participated in a pilot program, Parenting with Love & Limits and have training in Adoption Competency.
