LMHC, 4 years of experience
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to go through it alone. I provide a safe, judgment-free space where you can be yourself and work through life’s challenges at your own pace. My approach is warm, supportive, and focused on giving you practical tools to manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and relationship issues. As a person with multiple strongly held personal identities, I understand the importance of navigating unique life experiences. I specialize in helping adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and major life transitions. My goal is to meet you where you are, help you feel heard, and empower you to build a more balanced and fulfilling life. I offer virtual therapy so you can access support from anywhere in Florida. If you’re ready to take that next step, I’d be honored to walk alongside you on your journey toward healing and growth.
I like to think of it as a get to know you for both of us. For me, it will be a lot of questions to get to see if I would be best to serve you and for you to get a feel if I am best to serve you.
My direct and caring nature has helped push my clients to commit to themselves. I will always approach your goals with a dose of reality (and humor) to help keep things achievable.
I am best positioned to serve clients that is ready to take the next step toward change, even if the step feels small. You don't have to have it all figured out -just a willingness to start is enough.
CBT can look like many different things in the therapy session. I like to use CBT as a start to dip our toes before getting after it! CBT helps you (and me) get to know you better and really start building on your goals. I am trained in Essentials of CBT from the Beck Institute and CBT with Children and adolescents.
I am a Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing trained therapist. There may be some technical difficulties to troubleshoot virtually, but EMDR is a great way I can help clients address issues from self exploration to trauma.
Trauma work can be very hard and there are so many ways to approach it. Trauma care can look different for each individual depending on where they are in their healing. For me, my main goal in trauma care is to get you feeling about it not just talking or thinking about it.
CPT is for PTSD. It is a worksheet dense modality that gets you challenging your thoughts on a daily basis. My responsibility in modality is to inform and hold you accountable to your goals with practice completion.
If you are going to spill all your inner most workings, you need to feel comfortable and trust your therapist. I want everyone to feel comfortable with me to be able to trust me no matter who they are.
