I was born and raised in Florida, am a first generation American, and graduated with my bachelor's and master's from Florida State University. As a licensed clinical social worker, I have extensive experience working with anxiety, trauma, and relational issues. I have much experience working with several other concerns such as, ADHD, OCD, Eating disorders and disordered eating patterns, and Depression.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

First session consists of a "bio-psycho-social" assessment which sheds light on the history of these different areas in your life to paint a good picture of all that has brought you to me. Sometimes, discussing details of your history can be difficult to explore. Therefore, more time can be allocated to spend on these in later sessions if wished to. When using Grow's calendar to schedule, I will reach out and confirm our first appointment.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

I would say that my greatest strengths are that I am open minded and trained and informed in several evidenced-based treatment approaches. Also, if appropriate and once trust and rapport is secured, I am willing to gently challenge thinking patterns and offer alternate perspectives.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I have worked with a variety of populations for many different issues. However, an ideal client would be one that is eager to engage and ready to prioritize time and space for therapy in their lives. Also, one that is willing to step into discomfort with a helping hand of course once trust is secured.
