Struggling with addiction can feel isolating—but you don’t have to face it alone. Whether you are dealing with substance use, alcohol dependence, or trying to make sense of repeated relapses, I offer a space where you can be honest, understood, and supported without judgment. With over 15 years of experience as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) in Florida, I’ve worked alongside individuals at every stage of recovery. I understand how complex addiction is—and how much strength it takes to ask for help. I specialize in working with people navigating addiction, trauma, mental health challenges, and major life transitions. I use evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and trauma-informed care to support meaningful, lasting change. I believe therapy works best when it’s a collaborative process—where your voice is valued and your goals guide the work we do together. I also bring a personal understanding of the recovery process, which allows me to meet clients with both clinical expertise and authentic empathy. Whether you’re newly sober, returning to recovery, or just starting to question your relationship with substances, you’ll be met with compassion, honesty, and real support every step of the way.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
With extensive experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I’ve seen firsthand how this evidence-based approach can transform lives. Whether you’re struggling with anxiety, depression, addiction, stress, or life transitions, CBT provides practical tools to help you take control of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors.
Strength-Based
Using a strength-based approach, I help individuals discover inner resilience, overcome challenges, and create meaningful change. Rather than focusing solely on problems or limitations, this approach highlights your unique strengths, abilities, and past successes. It encourages self-empowerment and fosters a mindset of growth and possibility.
