Hey there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in North Florida. I received my Masters from the Florida State University and have been practicing for 4 years. I help young adults navigating gender identity, religious trauma, life transitions and mood disorders. I believe that everyone deserves the chance to be heard, accepted, and believed no matter what issues or struggles you are currently facing. In addition, I believe that our life experiences can shape who we are and can influence how we react to certain situations. And by examining and processing these experiences we can better understand ourselves and our behaviors. My goal is to empower you through problem solving, interpersonal skills, and uncovering your authentic self. I provide a non-judgmental and safe space for you to navigate areas in your life that you want to accept or see change, at a pace that feels right for you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

First sessions usually just look like getting to you and deciding what your goals are for therapy.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I love young people - I truly believe that Gen Z is gonna save the world!

My treatment methods

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

Mindfulness can be the foundation of healing for so many people struggling with various issues. I teach individuals how to utilize and master this skill.

Gender-affirming therapy

Gender-affirming therapy is a therapeutic model that emphasizes affirming a person's gender identity. This includes supporting them in questioning the concept of their own gender and coping with related challenges.
