I am a native Floridian looking to serve those in my community. I understand the need to have someone to speak to outside of the client's inner circle. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as narrative and talk therapies depending on the needs of the client. I enjoy helping client's learn the "why" of their feelings and helping them to develop appropriate coping skills.

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

I enjoy having a "meet and greet". Clinical work is a constant assessment process from both the client and the clinician. I like to make sure that the match is a good fit prior to getting into serious work.

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

I enjoy working with teens and adolescents to help them maneuver through life in a healthy way.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I enjoy working with youth and adolescents (ages 12 and up) as well as young adults. I work with clients with anything from relationships, to school, to family life. I work with teens that find themselves moving toward the LGBTQ+ community and helping them to understand what that looks like. I have worked for the last 10 years with the foster care population.
