(she/her)
Hi there! I'm a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Florida and New York. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, life transitions, existential issues, and relational uncertainties. I received my doctoral degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. I have been practicing in various therapeutic settings with individuals, couples, and families for the past six years.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I'll introduce myself and answer any questions you might have about me or the therapeutic process. You can expect me to ask you some questions as well. For example, I might ask you about your past experiences with therapy and what motivated you to schedule a session now.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My greatest strength as a therapist is to be present with you and your world, continuously checking in to ensure I have as close to an accurate understanding of your experiences so that when I offer guidance and support, it is tailored to your specific circumstances.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I take a person-centered approach, blending and adapting various therapeutic techniques to support each client's unique needs. My clients range from individuals coming to therapy with specific concerns to those who can't pinpoint an issue but know that they want to explore their lives and minds. In all cases, my aim is to provide a supportive space for adults, couples, and families to explore their lives and find meaning.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use a blend of CBT and externalization from Narrative therapy to identify and reframe thought patterns that contribute to emotional distress and challenging behaviors.
Mind-body approach
I use a bottom-up approach to focus on calming the body when working with clients who have experienced trauma or have been diagnosed with PTSD.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I use this approach with all my clients to emphasize empathy, client autonomy, and each individual's unique perspective, journey, circumstances, and struggles.
