Hi! I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor. With 8 years of experience, I have serviced individuals, adolescents, and families. My professional experience includes working in various clinical settings providing services to clients who face a wide range of symptoms related to self-esteem, anxiety, and maternal health. I help individuals gain confidence and increase self-esteem after experiencing significant life transitions.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

The first session is a pivotal moment for both the client and therapist. During our initial session, we will work towards building rapport and delving deep on the challenges you are facing, creating a plan to address and improve your mental health.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

Having worked in various clinical settings with various populations, I’ve developed the unique skill of being creative and flexible in my approach. I recognize that all people are uniquely different and I have the ability to adjust and explore with the client what works for them.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

Do you often find yourself questioning your self-worth, feeling down and inadequate despite your efforts? Are you feeling overwhelmed by constant worry and unease, unsure of how to find peace amidst the chaos of daily life? Or are you a new mother/parent, who is struggling with the intense pressures of parenthood, feeling isolated and unsure of your abilities? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may be an ideal client.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

This method is used to help clients identify and challenge distorted thinking patterns, fostering healthier behaviors and emotional responses. In my practice, I integrate CBT techniques like cognitive restructuring and behavioral experiments to empower clients to develop practical skills for managing anxiety and improving self-esteem.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I create a supportive and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and feelings. In my practice, I emphasize empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness to help clients achieve personal growth and self-acceptance.

Gottman method

As a mental health clinician trained in Level 1 Gottman Method, I utilize research-based interventions to strengthen couples' relationships by enhancing communication and managing conflict. In my practice, I apply techniques like the Love Maps and the Four Horsemen framework to help couples build a deeper emotional connection and navigate challenges more effectively.
