Hi there, I am a license mental health counselor licensed in Florida, Georgia, New York and DC. I obtained my degree from Troy University in Orlando, Florida. I have 15 years of experience working with clients. I have experience helping teens (13-17 years) and adults (18 years and older) manage their feelings of anger, anxiety, depression, career exploration/change, increase their self-esteem and others.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we will build a safe counseling environment where you can share your thoughts and feelings in a nonjudgemental space. You will be given an opportunity to express what brought you to counseling, share your past, discuss your desired outcome/goals for counseling and review your assessments.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

According to my prior/current clients, I am a compassionate good listener that assist them in discovering the root of their concerns and empower them with strategies to make their daily lives better and easier to manage.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have a passion for counseling and enjoy helping clients that are ready to see a difference in their lives by implementing steady an effective change.

She is very receptive. She is able to identify areas in which self improvement and self reflection may be needed. She brings it to focus gently. She is very nice and respectful.
