I help adults in Florida move through anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, career stress, and major life changes — with support that feels real, practical, and empowering. As a licensed mental health counselor with over 10 years of experience, I offer virtual therapy for adults who are ready to feel better but aren’t sure where to start. Whether you’re overwhelmed, emotionally stuck, or simply trying to find direction, I’m here to help you gain clarity and take steps forward. Clients often describe our sessions as relaxed, supportive, and meaningful — like talking with someone who genuinely understands. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe to be yourself, explore what’s going on, and start making progress at your own pace. I use a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies to help you better understand your thoughts, regulate emotions, and build practical coping tools that fit your life. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you — whether that’s managing stress, processing past pain, or building confidence in the present. Therapy with me is active and collaborative — we don’t just talk about change, we work toward it. If you’re looking for someone who will meet you with empathy, listen without judgment, and help you create a path forward, I’d be honored to support you

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

From our very first session, I focus on helping you feel comfortable, understood, and supported. I know that starting therapy can feel intimidating — especially if you’re unsure what to expect. During our first meeting, we’ll begin with a few brief introductions, and then shift into understanding what’s bringing you in. Whether it’s anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or a general feeling of being stuck or overwhelmed, I’ll guide you through a conversation that helps us get to the heart of what you’re experiencing. My approach is focused, yet compassionate. I take time to explore both the challenges you’re facing and the strengths you bring with you — even if you don’t feel very strong right now. Together, we’ll look at patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and begin identifying what’s working, what’s not, and where you want to go from here. We’ll also talk about your hopes for the future — whether that means feeling calmer day to day, improving relationships, building motivation, or finding more meaning in your life. From the very beginning, my goal is to help you feel heard, validated, and empowered to take steps toward change. Clients often say that even after the first session, they feel more clarity, more relief, and more hopeful about what’s possible. If you’re ready to begin that journey, I’m here to walk beside you with empathy, expertise, and a plan tailored just for you.

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

Clients often tell me that our conversations feel natural, safe, and genuinely helpful — like talking to someone who truly understands. I prioritize creating a space where you feel heard, supported, and never judged. Whether you're opening up about anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, or life stress, my goal is to make therapy feel approachable and meaningful from the very first session. What sets my style apart is the balance I bring: I combine evidence-based clinical expertise with down-to-earth, compassionate conversation. That means you’ll get more than just a place to vent — you’ll gain real insight, learn practical tools, and feel empowered to make positive changes in your everyday life. Clients frequently share that this mix of warmth and professional guidance helps them feel more relaxed, more open, and more motivated to grow. Whether you’re navigating overwhelming thoughts, rebuilding after loss, or working through life transitions, I meet you where you are and help you move forward with purpose. The most common feedback I receive? “I didn’t think therapy could feel this easy — or this helpful.” If you’re looking for a supportive space with a therapist who’s both clinically skilled and genuinely human, I’m here to help you take the next step.

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

I help adults who want to feel better but aren’t sure where to start. Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, I meet you exactly where you are. Many of my clients come to me feeling anxious, unmotivated, disconnected, or overwhelmed by thoughts they can’t seem to turn off. Some are experiencing sadness that lingers, a loss of interest in things they once enjoyed, or a constant fear that something bad is just around the corner. Others simply feel stuck and know they want more out of life — they just don't know how to get there. If any of that sounds familiar, you're not alone — and it’s absolutely possible to feel more in control, more connected, and more like yourself again. I specialize in helping adults manage anxiety, depression, low self-worth, social difficulties, and life transitions by providing a safe, judgment-free space where you can understand what’s holding you back and learn how to move forward. Using a personalized mix of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and solution-focused strategies, we’ll work together to: Reduce negative thinking and emotional overwhelm Rebuild motivation, focus, and daily structure Improve relationships and confidence in social settings Increase enjoyment and connection in daily life Create clear goals aligned with your values and strengths Clients often tell me they begin feeling a sense of relief and direction within the first few sessions. If you’re ready to feel more like yourself again — with support, structure, and real change — I’m here to help.
