I am a licensed mental health counselor providing telehealth therapy for adults (18+) across Florida. My practice is centered on helping you rediscover joy, work through emotional challenges, and reconnect with your authentic self. I take a mindful, growth-oriented approach to therapy. This means we focus on increasing awareness, building insight, and creating meaningful change at a pace that feels right for you. Together, we will explore patterns that may be holding you back and develop practical tools to help you feel more balanced, resilient, and grounded in your daily life. I believe therapy is a collaborative process built on trust, compassion, and respect. My goal is to create a supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward the life you want. I am honored to walk alongside my clients as they grow, heal, and step more fully into who they are.

We’ll complete a comprehensive intake during the first session to explore reasons for seeking therapy and gain a deeper understanding of client’s goals and current challenges.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

As a mental health provider with over 10 years of experience, I bring a collaborative, solution-focused approach to therapy. I’m passionate about helping individuals navigate challenges and find meaningful progress by tapping into their own strengths and insights. I see myself as a guide in the process—supporting and empowering clients as they do the deep, transformative work that leads to lasting change. Witnessing that growth is what energizes and inspires me most in this work.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My work focuses on supporting individuals managing anxiety and adjusting to life transitions. I’m especially drawn to helping clients navigate periods of uncertainty with greater clarity, emotional resilience, and self-compassion.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Through CBT I help clients create a structured, goal-oriented approach that emphasizes collaboration in the therapeutical relationship. We work together to explore tools the client needs to manage symptoms and improve their quality of life.

Motivational Interviewing

I utilize MI also as a collaborative, empathetic approach that empowers my clients to find their own reasons for change and to take ownership of their journey. We explore reasons for change to take place including analyzing ambivalence and resistance.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

SFBT helps clients build on their strengths as they explore goals. As a therapist I help clients focus on solutions and achievable goals rather than dwelling on problems.
