About me

I am a licensed therapist in Florida, Massachusetts, and Alabama with nearly a decade of professional experience supporting individuals through a wide range of challenges. My expertise includes helping clients navigate depression, anxiety, intimacy-related issues, grief and loss, trauma-informed care, parenting, and advocacy. In addition to providing individual therapy, I have a strong background in conducting comprehensive assessments and developing effective, personalized treatment plans. I believe that you are the expert of your own story—and that you possess unique strengths that can guide you through even the most difficult times. Taking the first step toward therapy is a courageous act, and I’m proud of you for showing up. I’m here to walk alongside of you as you begin this journey toward healing and growth. So let the journey begin!

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we’ll begin with brief introductions to help build a comfortable foundation. From there, we’ll explore the specific challenges you’re currently facing. This initial conversation will allow me to better understand your needs and begin crafting a personalized plan to guide our work in future sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

With over 10 years of experience working with adults, I’ve developed a trusted, effective approach to therapy. My process focuses on helping you (a) uncover the root causes of your challenges and (b) develop a personalized plan that fosters meaningful, measurable progress.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I love working with adults who are facing a variety of life challenges and are open to receiving support through therapy. My clients are often motivated to grow and improve, but may feel they lack the tools or clarity to move forward. Many come to me feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or anxious—unsure of how to navigate the complexities of their circumstances. Together, we work to uncover strengths, build practical skills, and create meaningful change.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

CBT is pretty much a form of “talk therapy” in which I have years of experience with. Once I’ve identified the relationship between a clients problems, behavior, and thoughts, I can aid my clients to learn healthy ways to cope and manage their thoughts, emotions and behaviors according to each clients unique set of needs.

Strength-Based

Strength-Based Therapy empowers individuals to draw upon their inherent strengths to navigate life’s challenges. By focusing on what is working and what they already possess—resilience, skills, values, and experiences—clients are encouraged to move forward with confidence and purpose. This approach not only supports effective problem-solving but also fosters a deeper journey into self-discovery and personal growth.
