LMHC, 7 years of experience
New to Grow
I am licensed psychotherapist based out of Florida. I am deeply committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and confidence. With years of experience in the field, I specialize in working with adults struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and life transitions. My approach is rooted in evidence-based techniques, tailored to fit each client’s unique needs, so you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe therapy should be a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions freely. My style is warm, collaborative, and goal-oriented, blending cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness techniques, and trauma-informed care to foster lasting change. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or seeking deeper self-awareness, I provide the tools and support to help you move forward with confidence. Choosing the right therapist is a deeply personal decision, and I prioritize creating a genuine connection with my clients. Together, we will work towards meaningful growth and a greater sense of well-being. If you're ready to take the first step toward a healthier, more fulfilling life, I invite you to reach out and begin your journey today.
In our first session, we’ll spend time getting to know each other and talking about what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your background, current concerns, and goals so I can better understand your unique story. We’ll also discuss what you’d like to get out of therapy and begin creating a plan that feels supportive and achievable for you. My goal is for you to leave the session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path forward.
My greatest strengths as a therapist are creating a safe, supportive space and tailoring therapy to each person’s unique needs. I blend compassion with evidence-based approaches like CBT, ACT, trauma-focused, and attachment-based therapies, so clients feel both understood and equipped with practical tools. Clients often share that I help them feel comfortable opening up while also guiding them toward real, lasting change.
My ideal client is someone who feels ready to make meaningful changes but may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about how to move forward. I work best with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, or life transitions who are open to exploring their inner world while also building practical coping tools. Whether you’re seeking to heal from past experiences, strengthen relationships, or reconnect with your sense of purpose, I provide a safe, supportive space to guide you toward growth, clarity, and resilience.
I have extensive experience utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in my practice, particularly with individuals managing anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I find CBT effective because it provides clients with both insight and practical tools to identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, while also encouraging behavioral changes that support emotional well-being. In my sessions, I integrate structured interventions such as thought records, behavioral activation, and cognitive restructuring exercises, tailoring them to the client’s unique goals and circumstances. I also emphasize collaboration—empowering clients to become active participants in their healing process and to carry these strategies into their daily lives.
I incorporate Psychodynamic Therapy in my practice to help clients gain deeper insight into how their early experiences, relationships, and unconscious patterns influence their current thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My approach emphasizes exploring themes such as attachment, unresolved conflicts, and defense mechanisms, while creating a safe and supportive therapeutic relationship. By bringing these underlying dynamics to the surface, clients are able to make connections between past and present, fostering greater self-awareness and emotional growth. I use this method to help clients not only reduce symptoms but also build a stronger sense of identity and develop healthier, more fulfilling ways of relating to themselves and others.
I utilize ACT in my practice to help clients develop psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts and emotions while still moving toward their personal values and goals. I incorporate mindfulness-based strategies, values clarification, and experiential exercises to support clients in stepping away from unhelpful avoidance patterns. This approach empowers individuals to shift their focus from trying to eliminate discomfort to building a life that feels meaningful and aligned with their core values. I find ACT especially helpful for clients experiencing anxiety, depression, and life transitions, as it provides both practical tools and a compassionate framework for growth.
I draw on attachment-based approaches to help clients explore how early relational experiences shape their current patterns of connection, trust, and self-worth. In my practice, I focus on creating a secure therapeutic relationship where clients can process relational wounds, develop healthier attachment patterns, and strengthen their capacity for closeness and stability in relationships. I often integrate discussions of attachment styles, relational patterns, and emotional needs into sessions, guiding clients toward increased self-awareness and more fulfilling ways of relating to others. This approach is especially helpful for individuals navigating relationship difficulties, trauma, and identity development.
I utilize TF-CBT to support clients in processing traumatic experiences in a structured and evidence-based way. This model integrates cognitive-behavioral strategies with trauma-sensitive interventions to help clients reduce distressing symptoms, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and build healthy coping skills. In my practice, I emphasize psychoeducation, relaxation and grounding techniques, and gradual exposure through trauma narratives, while ensuring sessions remain paced and safe. TF-CBT empowers clients to regain a sense of control, resilience, and hope as they move forward in their healing journey.
