Welcome! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida and I received my Masters from Louisiana State University. I work to help adults struggling with anxiety, depression, and adjustment issues to develop healthy coping skills and positive thinking. I am dedicated to helping individuals navigate life challenges and heal from trauma. As a proud advocate for BIPOC communities, I aim to create a safe, inclusive space where individuals are honored and voices are empowered.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a specific plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a wide range of experience from working with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, parenthood and relationship issues, trauma, and chronic illness. I aim to utilize this experience to better serve more populations and promote positive well-being and peace of mind.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I am dedicated to serving adults working though adjustments in their lives, anxiety, childhood trauma, and depression. I also serve parents learning to navigate challenges that come with motherhood and fatherhood. Lastly, I help individuals struggling with chronic illness.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT helps individuals identify and challenge negative thought patterns and behaviors, promoting healthier thinking and emotional responses. I help guide clients in recognizing cognitive distortions, reframing thoughts, and setting achievable goals. Through these principles, I work to empower individuals to manage stress, anxiety, and depression by promoting positive behavioral changes and effective coping strategies.
