Have you been feeling down lately? Maybe life does not bring pleasure anymore or you forgot the last time you felt mentally sound? Are you feeling sad or hopeless? Or thinking that if something were to happen to you, you would not mind? If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, and battling the symptoms of trauma or suicidal ideation, I might be the right therapist for you. I hold an LMFT license in the state of Florida. I earned my Ph.D. in Couple and Family Therapy from Kansas State University. I earned my Master's Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Valdosta State University.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

I am the most efficient in working with individuals who experienced depression, anxiety, trauma, suicidal ideation, substance abuse, panic attacks, and relational problems. I am committed to providing my clients with compassionate care and comprehensive, solution-focused strength-based therapeutic services. As a researcher, I study effective treatments for depression and suicidal ideation in adults.

What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?

My therapeutic orientation is based on the holistic systemic approach, along with Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy, a trauma-focused therapy. Finally, I am a certified hypnotherapist in the state of Florida.
