My work is rooted in helping clients reconnect with themselves, gain clarity, and build a life that feels more grounded, empowered, and aligned with who they truly are.

In our work together, we’ll explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, not judgment. I also support clients navigating grief, childhood wounds, family dynamics, identity issues, and burnout.

Whether you’re new to therapy or returning after time away, you’re welcome here. My goal is to help you feel more connected — to yourself, your values, and the life you want to build.

Are you struggling emotionally, mentally, or with life in general? If you're reading this, you must be ready for a change. The first step in making a change is acknowledging a need for one. It takes courage and strength to seek out a therapist, and I will help you feel comfortable and supported in whatever it is you want to work on. I can help you change things in a positive direction and help you be a happier and more satisfied person. I can help you cope with the ups and downs of life and handle them in positive and productive ways. I collaborate with my clients to find the best treatment for them. I offer individual counseling for teenagers and adults dealing with difficult life issues such as depression, anxiety, addiction, trauma, as well as Bipolar Disorder, and PTSD. I help empower my clients to change their negative thinking patterns to a more positive, productive way of thinking to help them feel stronger, safer, happier and more confident. I offer a warm, safe, environment free of judgement and completely confidential. Please let me utilize my counseling techniques and compassionate outlook to help you organize your thoughts, find and utilize your strengths, and get you to where you want to be in your life. Getting another perspective can make all the difference.

What stops you from leading a happy, productive life? What causes you stress, anxiety and depression? I believe the answer to living a happy successful life rests in our relationship with ourselves and the people we choose to interact with on a daily basis. Self awareness is the key cornerstone to emotional intelligence. I earned my Masters in Social Work from Columbia University and am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, practicing in the state of Florida. I am a member of The National Association of Social Workers and received postgraduate certificates as a Certified Dementia Practitioner and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. As a client-centered clinician for more than 15 years, I provide individual, couples and family counseling utilizing a variety of modalities and techniques tailored to the individual's needs to help attain the personal growth their striving for. My treatment specialties include, but are not limited to depression, anxiety, mood/personality disorders, family dysfunction, low self-esteem, codependency, trauma, addiction and recovery (ACOA), conflict resolution, and phases of life issues for adults 18+. Treatment services are offered entirely through telehealth, giving us the flexibility to connect conveniently and safely. I am currently accepting new clients and look forward to meeting you!

I am an individual, couple, and family therapist with experience helping people find solutions to a wide array of presenting problems. I specialize in working with: Teenagers and Adults struggling with self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety, loss of hope, Couple and family/relationship issues dealing with family stressors, blended families, and parenting/co-parenting issues. I have worked extensively with families with child and adolescent problems. I believe the most effective and efficient way to help a person is to involve other members of their family so that the family reinforces any program of change. I am a Florida DCF Approved Provider (Florida Family Court requires divorcing/separating couples with minor children to complete a DCF approved parenting class before finalizing their divorce). At Family Solutions Counseling, my practice is faith-based. My faith and life experiences are why I chose to become a Counselor. I also approach client concerns from a Solution-focused perspective. We all possess strengths and resources that can be used to attain personal growth and overcome life's challenges. Each person is doing the best they can considering the context they live in and the relationships that exist in their lives. My job is not to judge but to build a level of trust, provide support, encourage the client to feel safe in expressing symptoms, and help find solutions.

Are you experiencing challenges that are interfering with your emotional health and wellbeing? Do you feel your past experiences are affecting your ability to reach your full potential? Do you need a safe space to process your thoughts and feelings and engage in self exploration? I am a licensed psychotherapist who believes the most important catalyst for change is the relationship between therapist and client. My goal is to partner with you to reach your desired goals in a therapeutic environment. We will take the necessary steps together to foster positive change while creating individual strategies for self-empowerment. I have been trained in EMDR therapy which is a theory based on the belief that our brains have a natural system for processing information and experiences so that we can keep what we need for wisdom, learning, and growth. Sometimes disturbing experiences overwhelm the processing system, or we don't have the information we need for our brains to make sense of what happened in a healthy way. EMDR uses eye movements and other right-left stimulation to activate your brain's processing system so you can successfully process the experience and let go of what's not useful to you. I believe our past effects our present and future- both in adaptative and maladaptive ways. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to inner peace, self-love, and fulfillment.
