A Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive training and experience in the field, I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from Saint Leo University, complemented by a bachelor’s degree in psychology. As a proud veteran, I bring a unique perspective and a wealth of knowledge to my practice. My diverse clinical background encompasses significant experience in crisis intervention and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), with a particular focus on working with adults and veterans. My primary focus is on providing compassionate support to clients struggling with anxiety, depression, and those who have experienced traumatic events.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
The initial session will serve as an opportunity for us to become acquainted with each other. This will involve completing a concise intake form. Subsequently, we will establish initial goals that will guide us in determining the most effective ways to meet your specific needs.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
In my professional capacity, the well-being and mental health of my clients are of utmost importance to me. I am honored to be a non-judgmental and welcoming therapy practice committed to creating a secure and supportive environment. It is my utmost priority to ensure that individuals feel empowered and understood. Drawing upon the principles instilled during my tenure in the United States Army, I incorporate values such as duty, honor, integrity, and respect into my therapeutic approach.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I employ a person-centered approach to promote the notion that you are the expert in your own life experiences. I have been using this approach for three years and have assisted clients in living fulfilling lives.
Motivational Interviewing
Over the past three years, I have utilized Motivational Interviewing (MI) as a therapeutic intervention. This approach has proven effective in assisting clients in clarifying and articulating their own motivations for change. In sessions, we will employ MI techniques to facilitate your self-discovery and exploration of your underlying motivations for seeking change.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to assist clients in identifying negative thoughts and triggers associated with traumatic experiences. CBT is a widely recognized approach to addressing trauma, enabling individuals to actively pinpoint specific situations, people, places, sounds, smells, or even thoughts that consistently evoke intense emotional reactions related to their traumatic experience. By collaborating, we can work to uncover some of these triggers, fostering the development of healthy coping strategies.
