Hi! I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in the sunshine state of Florida. I received my Masters from the University of Capella and have been practicing for 6 years. I help individuals navigate through life’s transitions so they can become the best version of themselves. My approach combines compassion, structure, and practical tools to create meaningful progress. I value creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel supported, understood, and empowered to grow. Whether you're experiencing challenges with communication, self-esteem, anxiety, or relationships, I am here to guide you toward lasting change and personal growth.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
Having worked with couples and families for the past 6 years, I’ve developed a tried-and-true playbook for helping you (a) identify the root cause of your challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I am passionate about working with members of the LGBTQ+ community who maybe working through life’s transitions, anxiety, depression, difficulties in relationships, and or family related issues.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
Unlike traditional forms of therapy that take time to analyze problems, pathology, and past life events, SFBT concentrates on finding solutions in the present and exploring one’s hope for the future in order to find a quick and pragmatic resolution of one’s problems. This method takes the approach that you know what you need to do to improve your own life and, with the appropriate coaching and questioning, are capable of finding the best solutions.
Narrative
Narrative therapy is a form of counseling that views people as separate from their problems and destructive behaviors. This allows clients to get some distance from the difficulty they face; this helps them to see how it might actually be helping or protecting them, more than it is hurting them. With this perspective, individuals feel more empowered to make changes in their thought patterns and behavior and “rewrite” their life story for a future that reflects who they really are, what they are capable of, and what their purpose is, separate from their problems.
