About me

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.

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. 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

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.

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.

I am so grateful to have found Kiensha as my therapist. From the very first session, she made me feel comfortable, heard, and truly understood. She creates such a safe and supportive space, which makes it easy to open up and be honest. What I really appreciate is how thoughtful and attentive she is—she doesn’t just listen, she helps me reflect, gain clarity.
