Hi! I am a licensed clinical social worker from Florida. I have had my social work license for 4 years and my professional experience as a MSW social worker has stemmed over 10 years. I received my Master's degree from Florida State University. I have a lot of experience with the hospice population, working with the patients and their caregivers at this time of life, which includes grief work. In addition, also have extensive experience working with clients that need support through relationship issues, anxiety, depression, and health and wellness needs.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, clients can expect a brief introduction and a discussion on the main challenges that the client would like to work through as well as expectations so that I may be able to formulate the best plan of care and get an idea of how to best support the client with their goals for therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a therapist include being able to create a space for the client to feel or work toward feeling comfortable enough to share honestly their thoughts and feelings. In addition, I am very compassionate, understanding, and have a kind but direct approach to support the client to work through the challenges they are facing.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In my practice as a therapist, I've effectively employed mindfulness-based therapy techniques to help clients gain insight into the intricate relationship between their mindset, behavior, and overall perspective on life. Through guided mindfulness reflection, clients have learned to observe their thoughts without judgment, allowing them to recognize automatic, often negative thought patterns. By fostering this awareness, they've become better equipped to interrupt these patterns, choose more constructive responses, and ultimately cultivate a more positive outlook on life. Mindfulness-based therapy has empowered my clients to develop a deeper understanding of themselves and make meaningful changes in their lives.
Strength-Based
In my role as a therapist, I've employed strength-based therapy as a powerful approach to help clients uncover and harness their innate strengths and positive attributes. Through a strengths assessment and collaborative conversations, clients have been able to identify their unique capabilities and resources. This process has not only boosted their self-esteem but has also illuminated how their strengths can influence their behavior and shape their outlook on life. By highlighting and building upon these strengths, clients have gained a renewed sense of confidence and purpose, ultimately leading to more positive and fulfilling life experiences. Strength-based therapy has proven to be a valuable tool for helping clients tap into their potential and foster personal growth.
Grief Therapy
Over the course of a decade, I've dedicated my career to grief therapy, particularly in collaboration with the hospice population and their loved ones. Through compassionate and empathetic support, I've assisted individuals in navigating the complex journey of grief. Working closely with hospice patients and their families, I've witnessed the profound impact of loss on their lives. In my approach to grief therapy, I've emphasized creating a safe and nurturing space for individuals to express their feelings of sorrow, anger, and confusion. Drawing from my extensive experience, I've guided clients in understanding how grief can influence their mindset, behavior, and overall outlook on life. Together, we've explored coping strategies, memorialization, and ways to find meaning amidst their grief. My tenure in grief therapy, particularly within the hospice setting, has allowed me to witness the resilience of individuals facing profound loss and help them on their path towards healing and finding new ways to carry their loved ones' legacies forward.
Mind-body approach
In my practice as a therapist, I've specialized in mind-body approach therapy, which involves integrating the connection between mental and physical well-being. Over time, I've had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients to promote holistic health and healing. Using this approach, I've helped clients recognize how their thoughts, emotions, and beliefs can have a tangible impact on their physical health. Through techniques such as mindfulness, relaxation exercises, and cognitive-behavioral strategies, clients have learned to manage stress, reduce physical symptoms, and gain a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection. Incorporating this approach has empowered my clients to take an active role in their overall well-being, leading to improvements in both their mental and physical health. It's been a rewarding journey, witnessing clients achieve greater harmony between their mental and physical selves, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
In my practice as a therapist, I've specialized in brief solution-focused therapy, a highly effective approach aimed at helping clients identify and work towards specific, achievable goals. Over time, I've honed my skills in assisting clients in finding solutions to their challenges and fostering positive change. Through collaborative conversations, I've encouraged clients to focus on their strengths, resources, and past successes. This approach has allowed them to swiftly recognize how their mindset can influence their behavior and outlook on life. By concentrating on their desired outcomes and developing practical strategies, clients have been able to make rapid progress towards their goals. Brief solution-focused therapy has proven to be a valuable tool for empowering clients to take control of their lives and make meaningful changes in a short amount of time. It's been incredibly fulfilling to witness clients find solutions to their problems and achieve the positive outcomes they desire.
