Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with 18 years of social work experience, and the last 7 of them have been in private practice. I graduated from Florida State University (Go Noles!) with my bachelor's and master's degrees in Social Work. I believe that you are your own best helper, and I serve as a companion to light the way in your healing journey. I help adults reconnect to their true, authentic self and gain the confidence to live the life they were meant for.
In our first session, we will start off with a brief introduction and then identify the specific challenges you're facing so we can develop a a treatment plan that meets your needs for future sessions.
I have worked with a variety of people from those grieving the loss of a loved one, military members and their families, as well as the LGBTQ community. My experience with diverse populations allows me to empathize with you on a fundamental level and create a partnership to achieve your therapy goals.
I love working with adults of all ages who are eager to improve their lives through self-reflection and compassionate curiosity. I enjoy working with clients who are needing guidance with life transitions or relationship changes.
I have used CBT for 7 years to treat a variety of mental health symptoms to include depression and anxiety. I help clients identify how their thoughts, feelings and behavior influence one another and how to reframe problematic beliefs based on them.
I have completed EMDR training through the EMDR Institute as of Dec 2023. I utilize EMDR treatment for trauma, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and many other diagnoses.
