I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida, with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, coping with grief and loss, motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. I am here to support you in the process of overcoming.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with introductions, explore expectations, and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help us work together, and to help you become a better you.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My goals as a therapist are to offer a safe space to explore thoughts/feelings/experiences, to empower, identify strengths, and help you to learn/maximize new skills to overcome your obstacles. You can expect to feel supported, heard, rejuvenated and empowered. Ready to face your daily life.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with those who are ready to overcome the many challenges within their life and those who are ready for a deeper understanding of themselves. These traits are not limited by age, background, and/or spiritual beliefs.

Fully bookedMy treatment methods
Grief Therapy
I use this treatment method with those who are going through different types of loss. It helps clients to be gentle to themselves as they are maneuvering through major life changes.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
I use this treatment method in every session because it helps to pause and be present when processing through experiences, thoughts, and emotions.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use this treatment method to help deepen the understanding of oneself, to help a client gain more control when trying to change old patterns and make new ones.
Motivational Interviewing
I use this treatment method to encourage and empower. To help clients overcome unconscious barriers.
Strength-Based
I use this treatment method to help others see how they have already overcome many obstacles, and how they can continue to used the strengths they have, to continue to overcome new obstacles.
