(she/they)
Welcome! I'm an LCSW in FL who loves helping her clients achieve their goals. I received my LMCW from UT Austin. I have been practicing for more than 17 years. I am passionate about helping clients find their strengths, learn coping tools, and find new hope. I tailor my approach to each client, meeting them at their current stage and collaborating with them to foster both personal and relational growth. Whether you need an outside perspective or want more satisfaction in your life, I can help you set goals and support you in achieving them. I look forward to meeting you. Let's get started so we can help you feel better!
In your first therapy session with me, you can expect a supportive and welcoming environment. We will get to know each other, discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, challenges in your life, and your goals for counseling. We will also talk about your personal history, including any relevant background information, to better understand your unique situation. We will discuss confidentiality, session structure, and the therapeutic approach that will be use in treatment. The initial session is a chance for you to ask questions and express any concerns you might have. My aim is to establish a foundation for our work together and set the stage for your journey towards improved well-being.
I have helped hundreds of individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and severe mental illness to find a new vision for their lives and rediscover their purpose.
In my work, I help individuals from diverse backgrounds struggling with anxiety and depression helping them feel empowered and better equipped able to manage their lives. My goal is to give you the tools you need to reach your goals and have no longer the need for counseling. My job is to help you discover resources and coping skills to improve your quality of life. I can help individuals with high-functioning autism navigate social situations, understand social cues, and build meaningful relationships.
