I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Hey there, and congrats on taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life! 🎉
I'm so glad you're here — and I can’t wait to walk alongside you as you work toward your wellness goals.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida, Georgia, Kansas, and Nevada, and I also hold a Clinical Supervisor Endorsement through the National Association of Addiction Professionals. Originally a Jersey girl, I earned my BA in Psychology from Rutgers University. I started out as a middle school teacher — yep, brave soul! — but after five years, I felt called to support people in a deeper way and help them navigate life’s more personal challenges.
That path led me to the University of Georgia (go DAWGS!), where I earned my Master’s in Social Work, and I’ve been in the field for over a decade now. My specialty? Helping amazing humans heal from trauma, manage anxiety or depression, overcome substance use struggles, and tackle life transitions with confidence and compassion.
I believe real change happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered — and that’s exactly what I aim to provide in every session.
Let’s uncover your strengths, rewrite your story, and build a life you genuinely love. 💛
Ready when you are!
