Hello. I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Southwest Florida. I earned my Master's degree in Counseling from PennWest California located in W. Pennsylvania. In my clinical work, I draw from varied experiences in rural communities serving adults and adolescents in hospitals, community clinics and have a special appreciation for the unique challenges faced by individuals who identify as LGBTQIA+. I seek to specialize in providing mental health care that is affirming and mindful of others' lived experiences.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will make brief introductions then dive into particular struggles you may be facing and what led you to seek counseling in the first place. We will discuss how you will best relate your experiences in a safe place and I am here to support you. We will then create a plan on how to proceed in follow up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with people of all ages and stages, I've developed an ability to connect with others where they are so we can work out a plan to identify root causes of challenges and come up with a plan to improve your life. It is my privilege to provide a safe and supportive place to accompany you as you heal.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Compassion Focused
Compassion focused therapy (CFT) focuses on mood disorders and feelings of shame, self-criticism often from early traumatic experiences. Using visualization, meditation and gratitude, CFT helps clients make the mind-body connection, awareness of thoughts and body sensations helping to cultivate compassion for self and others to help regulate emotions for safety, self-acceptance and comfort.
Acceptance and commitment (ACT)
Acceptance and commitment (ACT) is a form of mindfulness based therapy with the goal for greater well-being which can be attained by overcoming negative thoughts and feelings.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
Person-Centered therapy uses a non-authoritative approach allowing clients to lead discussions which will lead to discovery of one's own solutions. A therapist will act as a compassionate facilitator without judgment and helping the client acknowledge their experience without moving the conversation in a different direction. The therapist is with the client to guide the process of therapy without interrupting or interfering with the client's self-discovery.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. I use this method to assist clients with identifying and correcting dysfunctional beliefs in thinking then helping a client modify those thoughts and behaviors. CBT is structured and collaborative between the client and therapist and often will assign homework assignments.
