I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida and a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional with private practice and outpatient setting experience. I am also a certified Reiki Healer Levels I and II. I have spent several years supporting professionals in their career development and have a passion for professional coaching with the use of Motivational Interviewing techniques. My experience is in helping clients who lack purpose, experience stress and anxiety, relationship issues, low motivation, low self-esteem and challenges with confidence, as well as career difficulties. I am a professional woman of color and have navigated through the dynamics of the corporate world. In my own experience, I have learned to heavily lean on more holistic approaches that have resulted in long-term changes in my view of the world and in the way I approach life's challenges. One of the biggest takeaways from our work together will hopefully be the understanding and acceptance that life's journey comes with "peaks and valleys" and how we respond to these will greatly influence our perspective of the self and how we show up for others and to the world we live in. I believe that you are the expert on your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming your challenges. My goal is to ensure that we deeply explore your values and those strengths and help you recognize them to then identify your desires from counseling and work to that end. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process!

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

In our first session, we will explore what your goals for treatment are as we focus on building the therapeutic relationship.

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

My strengths are working with young to mid-age adults who are struggling to find themselves in this world. I focus on building connections, learning your strong points and offering possible approaches to living a more fulfilling, purposeful and well-balanced life.

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

I love supporting people seeking career growth, stronger self-esteem and self-love, new habits, better communication, and healthy boundaries. I'm passionate about personal growth through spiritual practices and comfortable exploring those areas with you. My own experience with Eastern traditions and energy work (I'm a Reiki II practitioner) also brings me joy and can inform our work together.
