About me

Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Florida International University and my undergraduate from the University of Miami and have been practicing for 5 years. I am passionate about serving clients who are ready to create change, learning new coping tools, heal from past experiences, improve relationships, or find more confidence and peace in the daily hustle and bustle of life. Together we will work to uncover strengths, build resilience, and create practical steps towards the goals that matter most to you. My aim is to assist you in becoming the best versions of yourself while you are learning to navigate life's challenges. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on the lives of everyone I work with.

Get to know me

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, build rapport, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. I'll ask you about what brought you to therapy, your goals, and what feels most important for us to focus on. 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

My therapeutic approach is collaborative, compassionate, and evidence based. I want you to feel heard and safe, but also leave sessions with tools you can actually use in daily life. 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. My Clients often describe feeling more grounded, confident , and equipped with strategies they can use to handle life's ups and downs after our work together.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with young adults who are in their transitional phase in life. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their careers or life events.
