Hi there! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Orlando, Florida. I graduated from Troy University with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have been practicing in the mental health field for over 10 years. I have experience in working with clients in helping them address anxiety, depression, chronic mental health issues and substance abuse. I truly believe that everyone is capable of becoming a better version of themselves.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will work on getting to know each other and identifying the areas you would like to improve on.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is establishing a strong relationship with the client early on. I aim to create a welcoming, non-judgmental environment where clients feel understood and supported.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am passionate about working with clients who are struggling with navigating mental health hurdles like anxiety, depression, communication barriers and life transitions. My goal is to help them discover their own path to personal growth and fulfillment.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify how their thoughts are impacting their emotions and behavior. We work together to challenge these thoughts to help manage day to day stressors, depression and anxiety.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment therapy has been proven to be very helpful in allowing clients to accept situations and commit to making changes that align with their values and the life they would like to live.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive processing therapy can help move clients passed areas that are keeping them stuck and process trauma in a helpful way.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing can be helpful for clients who are not sure if they want to or are ready to make a change. I help create a supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their own motivations for change.
