LCSW, 10 years of experience
Hi! I’m an LCSW based in Florida, dedicated to helping individuals improve their well-being and overall quality of life. I believe in meeting clients exactly where they are and creating a supportive, non-judgmental space where they can feel understood and empowered. My approach centers on collaboration, compassion, and helping people recognize their strengths as they work toward meaningful change. I’m passionate about guiding clients toward their mental health goals, building resilience, and creating lives that feel more balanced, fulfilling, and aligned with what matters most to them. Helping people grow and heal is truly the heart of my work. I take a collaborative and client-led approach, tailoring each session to what feels most relevant and helpful in the moment. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply seeking greater clarity and balance, I’m here to walk alongside them with compassion and intention. I’m passionate about helping people develop healthier coping skills, build resilience, and create habits that support long-term emotional well-being. Together, we work toward goals that align with who they are and the life they want to create. Supporting people through their healing journey isn’t just my profession—it’s something I truly care about and feel honored to be part of.
In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and talk about your feelings and expectations around therapy. We’ll explore any past experiences you’ve had with therapy—what felt helpful, and what might not have worked as well—so we can build a foundation that truly supports you. We’ll also discuss what’s going on in your life right now and identify the goals you’d like to work toward. My aim is to create a comfortable, collaborative space where you can share openly and begin shaping a path that aligns with your needs, strengths, and hopes for the future.
I bring a strong sense of empathy to my work, which helps clients feel understood, supported, and genuinely cared for. I am patient and intentional in the way I build relationships, knowing that trust, honesty, and genuine rapport are the foundation of effective therapy. I value diversity and approach each client with openness, curiosity, and respect for their unique experiences. I enjoy taking a collaborative and creative approach to problem-solving, helping clients explore new perspectives and find strategies that truly fit their lives. By combining compassion with practical guidance, I help clients make meaningful progress toward improving their well-being and overall quality of life. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment where growth feels possible, supported, and sustainable.
I enjoy working with teens, young adults, adults, and geriatric clients. I am especially well-suited to support individuals who are seeking a safe, compassionate space to explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. I work well with clients who are motivated for change—whether they feel ready to take action or are just beginning to consider what healing might look like. I’m experienced in helping people navigate challenges such as anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationship issues, self-esteem struggles, and feelings of being overwhelmed or stuck. I also enjoy supporting clients who want to build coping skills, improve their emotional well-being, strengthen their sense of identity, or create healthier patterns in their daily lives. My goal is to meet each person where they are and help them move toward greater clarity, balance, and confidence. Whether a client comes in seeking guidance, support, or a space to process and grow, I’m committed to helping them feel understood and empowered throughout their journey.
I have extensive experience using Motivational Interviewing (MI) to help clients explore their readiness for change and strengthen their inner motivation. MI is a collaborative, client-centered approach, and I use it to create a supportive space where clients feel heard, respected, and understood. In my work, I use MI to help clients clarify what they want, identify what may be holding them back, and build confidence in their ability to make meaningful changes. I focus on reflective listening, empathy, and open-ended questions to help clients explore their ambivalence—without pressure or judgment. My approach is grounded in the belief that each person has the capacity for growth. I work alongside clients to highlight their strengths, reinforce their autonomy, and help them discover their own reasons for pursuing change. Whether someone is navigating stress, life transitions, anxiety, or wanting to build healthier habits, MI allows us to move at a pace that feels safe, empowering, and aligned with their personal goals.

I have strong experience using Adlerian therapy to help clients gain insight into their patterns, beliefs, and life experiences, and to understand how these shape their current thoughts and behaviors. Adlerian therapy is grounded in the idea that each person strives for belonging, purpose, and connection, and I use this approach to help clients explore the unique ways they move through the world. In my work, I guide clients in reflecting on early life experiences, family dynamics, and core beliefs so we can better understand how these factors influence their present challenges. Together, we identify unhelpful patterns, highlight strengths, and explore new ways of relating to themselves and others. My approach is collaborative and encouraging. I focus on helping clients build awareness, develop healthier coping strategies, and create more meaningful, fulfilling ways of living. Adlerian therapy allows clients to better understand the "why" behind their behaviors and empowers them to make intentional, goal-oriented changes. Whether someone is working through relationship stress, self-esteem challenges, anxiety, or life transitions, Adlerian work provides a foundation for personal growth, increased resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose and direction.
I have extensive experience using Person-Centered Therapy to create a warm, accepting, and supportive environment where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions. This approach is grounded in the belief that individuals have an innate capacity for growth, and my role is to provide the conditions that help that growth unfold naturally. In my work, I emphasize empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuine authenticity. I strive to meet clients exactly where they are, honoring their unique experiences and perspectives without judgment. By offering a space rooted in acceptance and understanding, clients are able to gain deeper self-awareness, strengthen their sense of self, and move toward meaningful personal change. Person-Centered Therapy allows clients to take the lead in their own healing process while I walk alongside them with support and guidance. This approach fosters trust, helps clients feel truly heard, and encourages them to connect with their inner strengths and values. Whether someone is navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, or simply seeking clarity and self-growth, Person-Centered Therapy provides a compassionate and empowering foundation for healing and positive transformation.
I have extensive experience using Supportive Therapy to help clients feel safe, understood, and encouraged as they navigate life’s challenges. This approach focuses on providing practical guidance, emotional support, and validation, helping clients build resilience and cope effectively with stressors. In my work, I emphasize empathy, active listening, and collaboration. I provide a steady and reliable presence, helping clients feel heard while offering strategies and tools to address current difficulties. Supportive Therapy is particularly effective for clients experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, or overwhelming stress, as it reinforces coping skills and strengthens self-confidence. My goal is to create a therapeutic environment where clients feel validated, empowered, and capable of making progress. By combining emotional support with practical guidance, I help clients move toward their goals while fostering hope, stability, and a stronger sense of well-being.
