My career in mental health began in 2006 while working in Florida's child welfare system after receiving my BS in Gerontology from Bethune-Cookman University. I knew I wanted to further my knowledge to make a more substantial and significant impact when working with children and their families. This led me to earn my Master's in Counseling in 2009 from Webster University and became a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. My clinical work experience includes working with children and their supportive caregivers who have been exposed to abuse and neglectful circumstance, adult survivors of childhood sexual abuse, and providing therapeutic interventions to inpatient adult clients who either were voluntarily or in-voluntarily placed at a crisis stabilization hospital. I hope you allow me to help you on your healing journey.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

"People Start to Heal the Moment they feel Heard". I offer a safe and inviting atmosphere where you can talk about your difficult thoughts and experiences. Through awareness and healing, I will not only help become more empowered but also find your inner peace.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

I have over 16 years of experience, in Trauma Informed Care and other evidenced based models such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)/Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) that I utilize with clients who are battling with anxiety, depression, self-esteem issues, grief/lost, and historical traumatic experiences.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am very passionate about working with individual who are struggling with varies experiences. I specialize in working with both children and adults who have historical traumatic experiences specifically those that occurred during childhood.
