Hello! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. I earned my Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in 2014 and have been practicing for 10+ years. I specialize in assisting adults dealing with issues related to trauma, women's issues, anxiety, grief, and relationships; Together we can work to put you on a path to feel empowered to tackle anything that comes your way!

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

During the first intake session, I typically go over the limits of confidentiality, explain the therapy process, gather more information about what your therapy goals are/what brought you to seek therapy, and offer you a chance to ask me any questions. Once I have all this information, then we will decide together what issue(s) to address first in subsequent sessions.

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

I feel that my greatest strengths as a therapist are the years of experience that I bring, my nonjudgmental approach, and that I offer my clients a safe place to express themselves freely. I also pride myself in knowing that each client is uniquely different so the combination of therapy techniques I use will be tailored to best suit every individual.

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

I love working with clients who have reached a plateau with previous therapists/therapy experiences or have gotten to a point where they are ready to break patterns. My ideal client is someone who is motivated to make changes in their life, curious about the world around them, open to the therapy process, and willing to share honestly.

My treatment methods

EMDR

EMDR is my main treatment modality for clients that have experienced trauma, complex trauma, or a history of anxiety and depressive symptoms. I like to combine EMDR with CBT and Person-Centered Therapy to assist with long-standing issues that have not improved with traditional therapy.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I utilize a Person-Centered Therapy approach often, as I believe that each client knows what is best for them. Every person's lived experience is different and I can help with navigating the intricacies, to help you understand yourself better and what things you might need to adjust to get the outcomes you desire.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I weave in a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy into my sessions by challenging clients to adjust a behavior or assigning a challenge to do in between sessions that goes along with the client's goals. Most of the work is done outside of sessions after all!
