LCSW, 5 years of experience
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and a proud graduate of Florida Atlantic University, where I earned both my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work. I have extensive experience supporting individuals through substance use and mental health challenges, guiding clients in the recovery process, and helping them heal from inner child wounds and relationship difficulties, including parenting, co-parenting, and personality-related issues. My therapeutic approach focuses on helping individuals expand their self-awareness and elevate to a higher level of consciousness. I encourage clients to explore and challenge their thought patterns while drawing on their innate strengths and inner wisdom. My goal is to make a meaningful impact in the lives of those I serve by fostering education, self-awareness, and a deeper understanding of emotional and behavioral health. I believe that healing begins with insight — and that every person has the capacity to grow, transform, and create lasting change.
In our first session, my focus is on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. We’ll explore what’s been happening in your life, what you’d like to work on, and what goals you hope to achieve through our time together. This is a space for you to share at your own pace — there’s no pressure to have everything figured out. I’ll ask questions to help me understand your background, current challenges, and any patterns or experiences that may be influencing how you feel today. Together, we’ll begin identifying the areas you’d like to focus on and start creating a plan for your healing and growth. The first session is also a time for you to get a feel for me and my approach. I want you to feel safe, comfortable, and heard. Building a strong, trusting relationship is at the heart of the work we’ll do together. By the end of our session, you’ll have a clearer sense of what therapy with me looks like and how we can collaborate to support your personal goals, emotional wellness, and overall healing journey.
As a therapist with extensive experience in substance use, mental health, and the recovery process, I bring a compassionate and integrative approach to healing. My work focuses on helping individuals and families understand the deeper roots of their struggles — exploring how early experiences, inner child wounds, and relational patterns shape emotional well-being and behavior. I support clients navigating challenges such as addiction, personality disorders, interpersonal conflicts, parenting, co-parenting issues, and emotional regulation. Through a balance of empathy, insight, and practical guidance, I help clients build healthier relationships with themselves and others. Grounded in authenticity and a belief in every person’s capacity for growth, my goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing, resilience, and genuine change can take root
I’m best positioned to serve individuals and families navigating the challenges of recovery, emotional healing, and personal growth. I work well with people who are ready to understand the “why” behind their patterns — whether that means breaking cycles of addiction, healing from past wounds, or improving relationships and communication. Many of my clients struggle with anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, or personality-related challenges, often rooted in experiences of neglect, loss, or dysfunctional family dynamics. I also support parents and co-parents seeking to create healthier connections with their children and one another, even amidst conflict or separation. I’m especially drawn to helping those who feel “stuck” — repeating old patterns despite their best intentions — and who are seeking a deeper, more compassionate understanding of themselves. My approach helps clients move from survival to genuine healing, self-awareness, and relational fulfillment.
