Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida and Oregon. I received my Master's degree from Louisiana State University and have been practicing for 9 years. I help adults ages 18+ struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, divorce, general mental health, PTSD, mood disorders, Bi-polar, personality disorders, suicidal ideations, self-harm, grief/loss, life transitions, anger management and many other mental health challenges to become the best versions of themselves. I became a social worker because I want to help people feel better about themselves and their lives. I no longer wanted to be "just an employee" and work for a large organization. I wanted to use my strengths and abilities to help others because it would be challenging and rewarding. Therapy is a form of "self-care", and we will work together as a team to address your specific challenges, goals, and needs. I am dedicated, passionate, and caring.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will complete the intake, and I will ask questions to gather more information. We will also create your treatment plan and find out what your goals are for therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with diverse populations varying in age, gender, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status for the past 9 years, I've developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I love working with individuals who are willing to take a look at themselves and make necessary changes for long-term growth. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their problems.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy is mindfulness based and teaches you to accept things as they are to help reduce anxiety.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT helps you become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking so you can view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in a more effective way.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is especially effective for people who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions. DBT has proven to be effective for treating and managing a wide range of mental health conditions, including: Borderline personality disorder (BPD). Self-harm. Suicidal behavior. Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Substance use disorder. Eating disorders, specifically binge eating disorder and bulimia. Depression. Anxiety. It’s important to note that the reason DBT has proved effective for treating these conditions is that each of these conditions is thought to be associated with issues that result from unhealthy or problematic efforts to control intense, negative emotions. Rather than depending on efforts that cause problems for the person, DBT helps people learn healthier ways to cope.
EMDR
I utilize this treatment to help clients heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences.
Grief Therapy
I utilize this treatment method to help clients experiencing grief in many forms such as the loss of a relationship, job, significant other, family members, and friends. There are 5 different stages of grief that we will discuss and process your feelings.
