Hi, I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with a Specialist degree (Ed.S) from Seton Hall University and over eight years of experience in the field. I specialize in helping young adults who are navigating the lasting effects of trauma. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can heal, grow, and step into the strongest, most authentic version of yourself. Together, we’ll work to transform pain into resilience and rediscover your sense of purpose and confidence.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with some brief introductions so we can get to know each other a little. After that, we'll dive into the specific challenges you're currently facing. This will help me understand what’s going on for you and begin creating a personalized plan to guide our work together in future sessions.

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

One of my greatest strengths as a provider is creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and supported. I bring 24 years of experience as a special education teacher, which has shaped my ability to connect with individuals who have diverse learning and emotional needs. Over the past eight years, I’ve worked closely with homeless young adults who have experienced significant trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. I’ve also supported autistic young adults using behavior modification strategies to build coping skills, improve emotional regulation, and increase independence. These experiences have strengthened my ability to meet clients where they are, build trust, and use trauma-informed, individualized approaches to guide them toward healing and personal growth

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I’m passionate about helping my clients gain the tools they need to thrive. The people I work with are eager to grow, heal, and become the best versions of themselves but they often feel stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious because of unresolved trauma. They know they want more for themselves, but aren’t sure how to get there. That’s where I come in. With specialized experience in helping individuals process trauma and develop practical, sustainable coping strategies, I create a safe, supportive space where growth can happen. Together, we work to break down the barriers that are holding you back so you can move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and peace.
