Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Barry University and have been practicing for 5 years. I help clients struggling with life stressor and burnout become the best versions of themselves. I am passionate about working with clients who are seeking change in their lives and striving for self-improvement. My aim is to assist them in becoming the best versions of themselves while they are learning to navigate life's challenges. I strive to help clients shift their perspectives and develop healthy coping strategies. Ultimately, I want to make a positive impact on the lives of everyone I work with.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, build rapport, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with young adults and young professionals for the past 5 years, 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.
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.

Goal oriented, challenges me to set goals, talks me through hard situations, and I always feel better after our sessions. I can have a really bad day and walk away feeling a million times better. Kiensha has been a lifesaver over the past month and I continue to make weekly appointments and set goals with her. I look forward to our weekly meetings as my life quickly changes for the better and my home life shifts and becomes less stressful.
