Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida with a Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida State University. I’ve been in practice for seven years and specialize in helping individuals of all ages navigate anxiety and the everyday stressors of life. I’m passionate about walking alongside my clients as they work through their fears and challenges, empowering them to become the person they were created to be. For clients who desire it, I also incorporate faith-based principles into the therapeutic process, offering a space where both emotional and spiritual growth can take place. My approach to therapy is primarily supportive and grounded in a faith-based perspective. I strive to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and encouraged. I often incorporate biblical guidance to help individuals make sense of the trials and stressors that come with being human, offering both emotional support and spiritual insight. Whether you're facing anxiety, life transitions, or simply feeling overwhelmed, my goal is to walk alongside you—helping you find peace, clarity, and purpose through both practical strategies and faith-based reflection.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll review your intake form, get to know one another, and begin discussing the challenges you’re facing. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you overcome those challenges and work toward your goals. In future sessions, we’ll continue to monitor your progress, adjusting our approach as needed to ensure you’re moving forward and getting the support you need to thrive.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With extensive experience working with children and adults who experience anxiety, I have developed a wide range of effective strategies to help reduce and manage anxiety. I work collaboratively with individuals to identify the underlying sources of their anxiety so we can determine the most appropriate strategies for addressing it. My ultimate goal is to empower you with the tools and confidence needed to regain control and move forward with your life.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I am passionate about working with children and young adults. I spent five years in a school system as a mental health provider and coordinator before transitioning into private practice. Many of my clients are highly motivated and eager to take on the world but may struggle with confidence. Together, we work to build self-confidence and develop the tools needed to achieve personal, academic, and professional goals.

My treatment methods

Faith based therapy

I combine both spiritual and emotional support to help clients overcome a wide variety of issues. We will look in scriptures to help you find healing and a renewed hope.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I love using CBT to help clients identify their troubling thoughts and help them understand they can control them. We will work together to help you get power over your own negative thinking.

Christian Counseling

If you choose to have Christian values at the core of your therapy I will integrate those values and teachings into counseling. These values can be used to enhance your therapeutic experience to help you overcome your mental health challenges and grow in your spiritual walk with Christ.

Supportive

My approach to supportive therapy centers on creating a safe, steady, and nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard and understood. I focus on emotional validation, strengthening coping skills, and helping clients make sense of their experiences while navigating stress, anxiety, and relational challenges. I work collaboratively to identify unhelpful thought patterns, increase insight, and reinforce existing strengths. For clients with anxiety, I help differentiate perceived versus actual threat and build tolerance for uncertainty. When addressing relational wounds, I support emotional processing at a safe pace while clarifying boundaries, forgiveness, and reconciliation when relevant. Overall, my style is warm, engaged, and practical, with the goal of helping clients feel more grounded, confident, and capable of managing their lives outside of session.

She seems to really care about her clients, well, about me. She goes the extra mile, even when I push her away she politely and lovingly asks if I need to talk or do I really want to be left alone. I always need to talk and she's good at listening then talking about what she sees in my life that might need adjusting.
