About me

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with nine years of experience supporting children, adults, and families. As a military spouse and parent, I understand the importance of flexibility, resilience, and connection. I strive to create a non-judgmental, client-driven space where you feel empowered to reach your goals and move forward at your own pace.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and see if I’m the right fit for you. You’ll have space to share what brings you to therapy, and we’ll begin exploring your goals and what you hope to achieve. Together, we’ll create a plan that feels clear, realistic, and tailored to your needs—so you can start making progress right away.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What stands out about my therapeutic approach is that I’m a great listener—and I help you hear yourself more clearly. I believe you already have many of the answers within you, and my role is to support you in uncovering them. I provide positive, encouraging feedback and help you stay motivated as you work toward meaningful change. Together, we’ll focus on what’s working and how to build on it to create the life you want.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I’m best positioned to support adults who are looking for short-term therapy focused on achieving specific, attainable goals. Whether you're navigating a life transition, managing stress, or simply feeling stuck, I work with motivated individuals ready to make meaningful changes. My approach is practical, goal-oriented, and designed to help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

My treatment methods

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with nine years of experience, I regularly incorporate Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) into my work with clients. I appreciate the strengths-based and goal-oriented nature of SFBT, which aligns well with my approach to helping individuals identify and build on their existing resources to create positive change. In my practice, I use SFBT to help clients clarify their goals, recognize past successes, and develop practical steps to move forward. Whether working with individuals facing life transitions, seeking improvements in relationships or navigating work challenges, I focus on what is working and how we can build on that. This method empowers clients by emphasizing their capacity for change and resilience. It also allows for flexibility and collaboration, making it highly effective across diverse populations and presenting issues. My goal is always to support individuals in creating meaningful, solution-focused progress in their lives.
