I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida as well as an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist. I specialize in working with people who feel overworked for other people in their life while feeling underappreciated and left alone, feeling confused about who they are and what it is that they need to gain a sense of control back in their life. I became a psychotherapist because I experienced the need to have someone who can show me what I could not see because of their genuine interest in my well-being and my potential. Together we will find the root of your behavioral/emotional difficulties from scientific, psychological, and spiritual perspectives, and you will uncover resources to overcome the difficulties that can only be found in you. Eventually, striving for wholeness will be the life journey that you will gladly take on outside of a therapy session.

Since childhood, I knew I’d work in the field of psychology.

I am a listener and observer who strives to make sure the people in my care feel supported and validated. I’ve spent my career as a clinical director and executive director of a nonprofit mental health agency while counseling in a private practice setting. My counseling experience is in addictions, anxiety, depression, stress management, grief, and personal development. I’ve found a niche in working with people experiencing life transitions, including graduation, career change, retirement, marriage, a new baby, an empty nest, illness or injury, divorce, and grief.
