Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. With a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Jacksonville University, I’ve spent the past 6 years supporting clients in reaching their mental health goals. I believe that everyone has an innate sense of what they need for healing, but often lacks a safe space to explore and express those needs. My goal is to create that supportive environment for my clients.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, we’ll take some time to get to know each other. We’ll explore what brought you to therapy and begin to identify your goals for our work together. I’m here to support you every step of the way.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength is my ability to connect with people from all backgrounds, making them feel safe, heard, and valued. I adapt easily to each individual’s needs and strive to ensure that our relationship always feels like a true partnership.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
Healing is a complex and non-linear process that demands commitment and effort. My ideal client is someone who is prepared and willing to engage fully in the work necessary for meaningful progress.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my experience, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) has proven to be one of the most effective therapeutic modalities for helping clients achieve their goals. By focusing on reframing automatic negative thoughts and addressing maladaptive thinking patterns, CBT equips clients with practical skills to challenge and change their thought processes. This approach has consistently facilitated meaningful progress and positive outcomes in my clients' therapeutic journeys.
EMDR
Since receiving training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), I have effectively used this modality to assist clients in moving forward in their healing journeys. EMDR facilitates the brain's natural healing process by minimizing external input, allowing clients to reduce the emotional intensity associated with traumatic memories. This approach has significantly lowered overall levels of distress and helped clients achieve greater emotional relief.
