LMHC, 21 years of experience
Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Fort Lauderdale, FL. I received my Masters from Nova Southeastern University and have been in private practice for the past six years. I work both in person and through Telehealth. I work primarily with trauma survivors, college students under stress, and people in recovery from addictions. I help people heal so they can focus on creating a life they want.
In our first session will focus on introductions, then begin discussing what brings you to therapy. I want to learn what your goals for therapy are and what questions and concerns you have working together to ensure you are confident in your decision for our work together. This will help me develop a custom plan for us to work on together to meet your goals.
Having worked in both short term environments and longer term work I have effective strategies for rapid improvement in symptoms and use a creative, individualized approach to help.
I love working with trauma survivors, college students, people in recovery, and members of the LGBT+ community. My clients have tried dealing with symptoms of depression and anxiety on their own and are ready to take the risk to commit to therapy to learn the tools and strategies they need to be happier and create the lives they want to have.

The best therapist!!! She actually listens and lets you get your frustration out and then she gives you a solution. I enjoy coming to therapy all because I know I am heard and understood. She does not judge you or condemn you, she relates and she is also makes you laugh. She lightens up every situation and gives you great insight.

Hyacinth understands me 100%, and has helped me with my anxiety and stress in life.
I have training and experience using a variety of approaches. No one method meets every individual's needs so we will customize our work together to best aid in your healing.
Sandplay-Worldplay is a non-directive, expressive therapy using figures to create scenes that reflect your experiences to aid one in developing a deeper understanding of their challenges. Using figures also allows for processing pre-verbal experiences and aids integration of trauma. It allows one to see and experience their situations as they are presently and how it may feel as they change those circumstances to one they envision for their future.
Somatic therapy is a form of therapy that helps you understand and work through how stress, emotions, and past traumatic experiences can affect your body as well as your mind. Instead of focusing only on talking about problems, it also pays attention to physical sensations—such as tension, tightness, or restlessness—and uses gentle techniques like breathing, grounding, movement, or guided awareness to help release them. This approach can be especially helpful if you’ve experienced trauma, chronic stress, or find it hard to “think” your way out of how you’re feeling. The goal is to help you feel more present, balanced, and connected to yourself.
