LMHC, 6 years of experience
Hello, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida, bringing over 6 years of experience in supporting individuals through a spectrum of mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and grief. My therapeutic approach is holistic, focusing on tailoring each session to meet the unique emotional needs and practical goals of my clients as they work toward symptom management and personal growth.
I understand that starting therapy can feel intimidating. Therefore, in our initial session, I prioritize creating a safe and non-judgmental environment where clients can comfortably navigate their challenges. Together, we will discuss expectations and gather information to develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to the client's specific needs.
My greatest strength as a provider is rooted in my diverse experience with various conditions. This background has shaped my client-centered approach, enabling me to recognize and prioritize clients' strengths in guiding their treatment.
I enjoy working with young adults and adults who are struggling with low motivation, stress, feelings of isolation, and disconnection. My clients are eager to make improvements but often feel trapped by everyday challenges, overlooking the strengths and potential they possess.
Healing begins when we start to look at the beliefs we carry—especially those shaped by painful or traumatic experiences. In our work together, I use Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a structured and supportive approach that helps you explore how those past experiences may still be impacting your thoughts, emotions, and the way you see yourself and the world. Through gentle, guided reflection, CPT allows us to identify and shift unhelpful patterns, so you can begin to feel more grounded, empowered, and at peace. This process is not about rushing to move on—it's about moving through, with compassion, clarity, and care. And you won't be doing it alone—we'll walk that path together.
When we’re struggling with depression or anxiety, even small tasks can feel overwhelming—and the way we think about ourselves, others, and the world can become clouded by fear, doubt, or hopelessness. In our work together, I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to gently explore these thought patterns and how they may be impacting your emotions and daily life. With compassion and intention, we’ll begin to shift the inner dialogue toward something more balanced, supportive, and true to who you are. CBT offers a clear and structured path to help reduce the intensity of anxious thoughts and lift the weight of depression. Together, we’ll set meaningful goals, develop practical tools for managing distress, and build skills you can carry with you beyond our sessions. This process is collaborative and empowering—supporting you in reconnecting with a sense of stability, hope, and strength within yourself.
In the midst of emotional pain or overwhelming thoughts, it can feel like we have to fight or fix everything we feel. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) offers a different path—one grounded in presence, self-compassion, and values-based living. In our work together, we’ll gently practice noticing thoughts and emotions without judgment, allowing space for them rather than being consumed by them. ACT helps you reconnect with what truly matters to you, so you can begin to take intentional steps toward a life that feels meaningful and aligned—even in the presence of discomfort. Rather than trying to control every thought or emotion, this approach supports you in building the inner flexibility to move forward with clarity, courage, and purpose.
