My areas of specialty include working with those who are experiencing issues related to anxiety, major life changes, relationships, difficulty concentrating, chronic medical diagnoses, isolation, and identity. I also specialize in working with clients who are of Indo-Caribbean (West Indian) heritage and/or first- and second-generation immigrants. As a therapist, I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental environment where collaboration and empowerment can be achieved. My mission is to listen, draw upon your strengths, and provide insightful support along the way. During the first session, you can expect an easy-going conversation to build a therapeutic alliance. At the moment, I practice entirely over tele-health, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely. "PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING: Services are provided to clients who are interested in therapy on a short-term (one to three months) or long-term basis. For any requests for administrative services like disability certification, administrative letters, and special accommodations (such as Emotional Support Animals letters) related to a psychological condition, **please seek the services of another mental health provider**. The reason for this policy is to focus on building a therapeutic alliance and allocating resources for clinical services, not administrative tasks. Certain administrative services may be considered for long-term clients on a case-by-case basis and cannot be guaranteed."

Individual counseling is billed through insurance or self-pay at $100 per hour. Couples counseling is self-pay at $150 per hour. Board of Nursing evaluations are billed out-of-pocket due to the extensive paperwork/correspondence involved. However, follow-up visits can be billed through insurance if I am in-network with your insurance company. There is a no-show fee of $100. There is a late cancellation (less than 24 hours) fee of $100. My mission is to be used by God to help others reach their highest potential and purpose in life; to represent and teach tolerance, respect, and harmony; and to promote social and economic justice. I believe that all people regardless of race, culture, age, gender, religion, physical or mental disability, and sexual orientation are entitled to basic rights and fair, humane treatment. I believe that all members of society should have the same basic rights, protections, opportunities, obligations, and social benefits. My practice is governed by the belief that you are a valuable human being. You have the right to express your ideas and opinions openly. You have the right to direct and govern your life. You have the right to stand up for yourself without anxiety and make choices that are good for you. You have the right to change your mind. You have the right to not be liked by everyone. You have the right to be wrong. You have the right to make requests and refuse them without feeling guilty. You have the right not to be responsible for others’ behaviors, actions, feelings, or problems.

Are you experiencing stress, worry, racing thoughts, impaired sleep, feeling on edge, heart racing, nightmares, or/and flashbacks? Do you replay moments in your head and feel hopeless? Maybe you’re feeling like you are not quite yourself; like you aren’t living your healthiest, happiest and most well-functioning life. My specialty is helping clients uncover the root of their problems and then empower them with the skills necessary to regain a healthier sense of control in those areas. Let me help you on this journey! Imagine yourself empowered, as we find recurring themes and self-defeating patterns. You will discover ways to overcome fear and other emotional obstacles. Problems, once confronted, lead to insights and newfound strength, self-acceptance and freedom. My advanced training is in EMDR (eye movement desensitization and reprocessing) which is an extensively researched, effective psychotherapy method proven to help people recover from anxiety, trauma and PTSD symptoms. My experience and training help us to quickly identify key issues, unconscious factors and ways to resolve them. My primary focus is on helping individuals find balance and peace after experiencing trauma, navigating through life transitions, unhealthy relationships, or loss and grief. I can work with you to develop healthy coping skills and gain insight. I love to help others feel at peace and whole again. If there is one thing that I would like for you to know is that the most crucial part of therapy is to find a therapist that you trust. My priority is to create a genuine connection with my clients by creating a safe and non-judgmental space for them.

"There can be no transforming of darkness into light ... without emotion." -Jung Emotional Intelligence (EI) is the core of my training. It embraces the belief systems of the past that affect your present. It's a state-of-mind that defines thinking that affects emotional awareness. To become aware is not to change, but to understand and accept. Carrying guilt or shame of the past, triggers the conflict of now. I don't offer advice - I offer choices - a chance to choose your own method of healing that fits you - not something others feel 'should' be. Come. Sit. Talk. Let's wander your path together.

One of my biggest passions in life is helping women, overcome past hurts, failures, ineffective communication, and self-defeating behaviors, which limits their forward momentum. I also work with young adults and men, as they grapple with challenges such as: communication difficulties, boundary issues and life transitions. I help my clients explore childhood experiences, defense mechanisms, and survival tools that once worked, but as adults, they are disruptive to their adult self and relationships. I am here to listen and help you find ways to walk in your authentic self, no longer bound by guilt and shame. I strive to create a compassionate atmosphere, judgment free and safe space, as you work through depression, anxiety, disappointment, low self-esteem, co-dependency and other issues that can be debilitating. I empower, encourage, listen and help you identify your values. I appreciate this new reality where mental health is no longer being swept under the carpet, instead people are coming out to tell their stories and are seeking assistance to deal with their hurts and pain. If you are ready to work with someone as you tackle these issues and you are ready to exhale and be able to say, "At Last I'm Free" take your first step, pick up the phone and schedule a consultation with me. You don't have to walk this healing journey alone, just be ready to do the work!

Do you have past experiences or traumas that may be hindering your ability to practice self-compassion? Feelings are sometimes hard to explain and even harder to deal with. Understanding why you feel a certain way can help you regain control over yourself and how you respond. My passion is helping those struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions understand their feelings better and how to control their impulses.

Hello, I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida, with over 11 years of experience.

My goal is to provide a space where clients can explore and make sense of the most challenging aspects of their lives. I believe that every individual is the expert of their own experience, and my role is to serve as a compassionate guide, offering support and reflection to help you discover your own path toward healing and growth. I have experience working with adolescents, teens, adults, and families, and I specialize in helping clients navigate issues related to anxiety, depression, family dynamics, and school-related challenges.

I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's Degree in Social Work. I have been practicing in social work since undergrad back in 2007. I mostly work with adults in life transitions, difficult stressors (work, family or medical), chronic health conditions and pain. I became a mental health provider because I am passionate about helping people regain their life back, having hope for better days and overcoming difficult situations and traumatic events. Life can have ups and downs and it's okay to ask for help and to say “this is hard”.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed by depression, struggling with anxiety, or finding yourself stuck in unhealthy relationships, I’m here to offer a supportive, nonjudgmental space where we can work together to address your concerns and create positive change. I approach therapy with optimism and enthusiasm. I especially enjoy working with individuals navigating life transitions, as it’s incredibly rewarding to witness them overcome obstacles and emerge stronger. My natural curiosity drives me to truly understand my clients, and I find great joy in building authentic connections with those I work with. On a personal level, I have traveled extensively, which has deepened my understanding of how culture shapes our experiences, beliefs, and values. As a single parent, I’ve navigated both the joys and challenges of raising a child on my own, which gives me a unique perspective on resilience and personal growth. In terms of my professional background, I earned my Master’s in Clinical Social Work from the University of South Florida and became a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in 2004. With over 20 years of experience in the mental health field—nine of which have been spent in direct client service across various settings—I bring a wealth of knowledge and insight to my practice. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and work together on your journey toward healing and growth.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Florida rather than a city like Tampa?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in the state. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Florida from Miami to Jacksonville! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Florida.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

What are the "Clients say I'm" badges?

Grow Therapy asks patients about their experience with therapists after they have had a certain number of sessions. After enough responses, we add those characteristics to their profiles to help you find the best online therapists for you. We're still working on collecting this information from all our therapists.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs.

Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center. Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
