Hello, and welcome! As a licensed clinical social worker with 15 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of supporting individuals on their unique paths toward healing and personal growth here in the beautiful State of Florida. Through my counseling journey, I’ve discovered that real, lasting change begins with self-compassion. My goal is to create a safe, nurturing, and nonjudgmental space where you feel empowered to express yourself and explore the challenges you’re facing. Whether you’re navigating feelings of stress, anxiety, or depression, we’ll work together to uncover the root causes and develop personalized strategies to overcome them. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing on mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and solution-focused techniques tailored to your individual needs. It takes courage to seek support and take the first steps toward a more joyful and fulfilling life, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Together, we’ll work to help you build a life of purpose, resilience, and happiness. Let’s begin this transformative journey—you don’t have to do it alone!

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

When I first meet with a client, my goal is to understand their unique challenges along with his or her strengths. I begin by asking questions so that I can take a comprehensive history and administer screeners for conditions such as depression and anxiety in order to establish a baseline. This allows us to track progress over time. Together, we will create a treatment plan that addresses the root causes of your concerns and develop a personalized strategy to help you overcome them. My therapeutic approach is eclectic, drawing from mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and solution-focused techniques—each tailored to your specific needs. I work best with clients who are motivated to change because I am a change agent, and I am here to guide and support you through your transformative journey. You don't have to face this alone—we'll take the steps together!
