Trained as a psychologist (Ph.D. from Cornell University). Some 20 years later I earned a specialized graduate degree in Psychotherapy from Nova SE University, the only nationally accredited program in all of Florida. I am a fully licensed therapist in the State of Florida. I have taught psychology at Princeton, Tulane, Cornell, and Harvard Medical School. We will spend most of our time creating solutions, instead of analyzing problems. So often, therapy gets bogged down in the endless exploration of problems. Problems are the results of behaviors that didn't work for you in the past. Solutions flow from changes that will work for you starting right now. Solutions make your life better. They bring joy and peace to your life.

Aloha! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Miami, FL. I received my Master of Social Work (2017), B.A. in Psychology (2014) and B.S. in Criminal Justice (2014) from the Florida International University (FIU). I am committed to upholding the core values of social work—respect, empathy, and authenticity—and adopting the holistic Person-In-Environment (PIE) perspective. Ten years ago, I first embarked on my professional journey serving in child welfare, as well as adult forensic and homeless populations. Since 2017, I have been working full time at Citrus Health Network, Inc., one of the largest federally qualified health centers in South Florida, under a grant-funded, coordinated specialty care (CSC), evidence-based program (EBP) known as NAVIGATE, which is designed to treat first episode psychosis. In 2022, the program expanded, and I was designated as Team Leader to train newcomers. I also supervise two Peer Support Specialists (former clients of mine), who use their shared lived experience and skills learned to help others navigate the road to wellness from mental health and/or substance use conditions, and often include them in my therapy sessions. In the summer of 2023, I was invited as subject matter expert (SME) in psychosis to help train Miami police officers in Crisis Intervention Team (CIT). I served as a parttime Evaluation Coordinator at the FIU Community-Based Research Institute (CBRI) through a subcontract with nonprofit organization, Gang Alternative, Inc. on the Minority Youth Violence Prevention Project, a 4-year (2017-2021) research grant funded by the Office of Minority Health. This program aimed to reduce violence and substance use among adolescents in high-risk minority communities in Miami, FL, such as Little Haiti and Liberty City. Under the supervision of Dr. Michelle Hospital, I was responsible for coordinating research, as an external evaluator.

Hi everyone! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I obtained my Masters of Social Work from Florida State University in 2020. I've been working with a diverse clientele since then with various problems and disorders. I strive to create an atmosphere that is non-judgmental, supportive, caring, and safe for all clients from every walk of life. It's my pleasure to help clients reach the best version of themselves. I utilize a client-centered approach that allows you to be in the driver's seat of our sessions. Your resources and strengths are what got you this far, so I intend to highlight those qualities and characteristics for you because sometimes it's hard to recognize those for ourselves. Even small successes are successes and accomplishments. If you choose me as your therapist, we will collaborate to address your concerns and work toward reaching your goals. I use several evidence-based techniques in my work, however, the models I use primarily are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-focused care, Mindfulness, and strength-based approaches.

Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida, with additional licensure in NY and NC. I graduated from St. Lawrence University in Upstate New York and have been practicing in the field for nearly 8 years. I got my start in community outpatient mental health, where I worked with clients from all walks of life, from children as young as five to adults as old as ninety. The majority of my experience, however was working with children and families, as well as adults struggling with various mood disorders and substance use. After meeting my husband, who is currently serving active duty in the Air Force, I spent time working with military members and their families. This allowed me the opportunity to understand and relate to this community on both a personal and professional level. I love working and providing care to my military family as I understand the complexities and challenges involved in living a military lifestyle. However, in recent years, I have found myself working primarily in primary care settings (both virtually and in-person) providing care to those struggling with anxiety, depression, and comorbid chronic conditions. I have found there is immense value in treating both mind and body together for overall wellness and maintenance. I hope to help others find what is meaningful for them in their own lives while identifying their strengths, breaking down barriers, and ultimately achieving their physical and mental wellness dreams!
