I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist for the state of Florida and have been working in the field for 14 years. I graduated from Chapman University with a Master's degree in Psychology and an emphasis in Marriage & Family Therapy. I have specific extensive experience working with individuals suffering from PTSD. I am also a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional (CCATP). I'm not afraid to stand beside those who are dealing with the effects of trauma, and I'm open to helping you work through those feelings. Special note: I do not take on clients who are actively self-harming or suicidal. If that is the case, please seek someone with specific crisis training or emergency services. I believe that my role is to be completely present during the therapeutic process, serving as a guide and facilitator for my clients. I strive to create the safest space possible for people to express and process their feelings while learning how to better cope with stress. Don't hesitate to start your journey to improved mental health with me today!

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

After a session with me, I want you to feel empowered to address your issues and armed with the tools to be successful at coping with your symptoms.

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

Because I have personal experience with anxiety, it naturally drew me to want to work with clients who struggle in that area. I have worked primarily with trauma and anxiety throughout my career so I also feel comfortable with those areas. I also have a number of tools I've compiled to address any issues that may arise with regard to trauma and anxiety.
