Greetings! I'm a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Master's in Social Work from University of South Florida and I have spent the last four years helping children, adolescents, and adults work through anxiety, trauma symptoms, and ADHD. I have specialized training in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy, anxiety treatment, and grief and loss and have helped people work through some of the biggest challenges in their lives.

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions and start building our therapeutic relationship. We'll go over some short paperwork and expectations, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored, collaborative plan for us to work on throughout our time together.

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

Being a newer clinician, I love learning and am always open to new ideas and approaches. I use my innate warmth, sense of humor, and sincerity to make therapy approachable and help you achieve your therapeutic goals.

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

I love working with children, teens, and adults. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make their goals a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious, causing difficulties in their day-to-day lives. These can be due to underlying anxiety or stress or stressful life events, such as the loss of a loved one or major life changes.

My treatment methods

Trauma-Focused CBT

I have advanced training and practice using trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT) and have found it successful in helping clients transform their negative thoughts into more helpful thoughts, creating an improvement in mood.

Humanistic

Utilizing a warm, open, and empathetic approach, I create a welcoming and respectful environment where clients can feel comfortable and supported doing their therapeutic work.
