I am a dedicated Clinical Mental Health Counselor with a graduate degree from South University in Florida. With a strong foundation in trauma-informed care, I specialize in grief and loss counseling, focusing on creating safe and trusting environments where healing can take place. My expertise includes working with vulnerable children aged 0-6 through Child Parent Psychotherapy, helping parents and children repair and strengthen their relationships after traumatic experiences. I also work with young adults who have experienced anxiety and depression due to trauma, child abuse, or neglect, supporting them as they navigate their healing journey.

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

In our first session, I focus on building a foundation of trust and safety. I will begin by learning more about what brought you to therapy, your goals, and your hopes for healing. We will go over confidentiality, what you can expect from me as your counselor, and any questions you may have about the therapy process. This is a space where you are free to share at your own pace, there’s no pressure to dive into everything at once. Together, we will begin to explore how we can work toward your emotional well-being and long-term growth.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths lie in creating a calm, non-judgmental space where clients feel seen and supported. I bring over a decade of experience in trauma-informed care, with specialized training in Child Parent Psychotherapy and grief counseling. My ability to meet clients where they are emotionally, especially young adults who’ve experienced trauma, helps foster trust and encourages healing. I combine clinical skill with empathy, creative interventions, and cultural sensitivity, which allows me to tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs.
