LCSW, 20 years of experience
New to Grow
I am a licensed mental health therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling lives. I am a native of Florida and have spent over 20 years serving different populations and of different age groups. I am empathic and love building upon clients' existing strengths and each individual's resiliency and perseverance to want to be a better version of themselves.
As your therapist, my goal is to create a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space for you to openly share your thoughts and feelings. You can expect me to listen with care, provide perspective, and work with you to set goals that feel meaningful and realistic. You can expect me to support you in fostering a sense of growth, healing and positive change.
I have over 20 years of experience and feel my best approach with clients is having them understand that they do not have to go through this alone. In our work together, you can expect a supportive space where you feel safe, respected, and truly heard. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling a little more hopeful, understood, and empowered to take the next step forward.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique needs. I am best positioned to support individuals who may be facing emotional challenges that impede in everyday life situations. I draw on evidenced based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution Focused Therapy to support clients in managing stress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered to make meaningful changes.
I am a licensed therapist with extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help individuals identify and shift unhelpful thoughts patterns and build upon practical coping strategies that create lasting positive change.
My experience with Solution Focused Therapy (SFT)has created practical and strength based approaches that help individuals identify solutions and move towards their goals in a focused and time efficient way. I support clients in building on their existing strengths and resources to create meaningful change.
