Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Registered Play Therapist and a Certified TraumaPlay Therapist. I received my education through Saint Leo University, in addition to The trauma play institute as well and the play therapy training institute. I have been in practice for 5 years in Florida. I help all ages work through trauma and learn to love their authentic selves and make meaning of their life challenges. I use mostly an experiential approach as well as other evidenced based interventions.

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

In our first session together, we will introduce ourselves and then talk about what specific challenges or needs you may be facing. We will work together and create a plan that is tailored to you for us to work through during our time together.

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

Having worked with trauma from the ages of 3 and up for the past 5 years, I will use creative avenues to assist you with overcoming challenging thoughts, physiological symptoms, and big emotions that create a space for self-regulation. It is important to understand that thoughts and emotions from trauma affect our physical being as well and I will help you navigate this process.
