We are on this journey toward healing, change, growth, forgiveness, and understanding.
Even though you are the main participant in your story, many times in life we lose sight of where the way is, or even how to find it, so I invite you to join me on this path.
Humbly, without judging you or even assuming that I know more, allow me to lend you a different perspective and hopefully see the pain transformed.

Welcome to your healing journey! Do you struggle with anxiety, depression, past trauma, or lack of motivation? Do you wonder why you are not where you want to be in life or how to achieve your life goals? Or perhaps you feel unproductive, unhappy with your current relationships, or job and feel overwhelmed. I attended Nova Southeastern University and have been practicing psychotherapy for 20 years. I have experience practicing in Psychiatric Hospitals and outpatient settings. I empower clients to overcome trauma, depression, anxiety and grief.
I offer a therapeutic approach that combines evidenced-based protocols with advanced and effective holistic healing practices. Mind, body and spirit have a healing approach. I have found that, when combined, these two approaches strengthen and deepen the healing process, allowing for a more full and transformational experience. My specialties include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Every person I encounter I strive to empower the client to discover their strengths to engage in a transformational healing process. I listen to clients' needs and goals. Once established we will work as a team to develop a treatment approach that aligns with your treatment goals.
If you are having difficulties with anxiety, depression, life stressors, or grief you have the strength to overcome these issues. I am dedicated to helping you regain your strengths and achieve the life goals you desire.

Hello and Welcome! I'm Christy.
Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time.
I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles with concerns related to a wide array of mental health challenges such as anxiety, depression, and/or self-care, just to name a few. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.
Counseling can foster personal development in whatever way you may be seeking and help build the life you so deeply deserve. If that's what you're looking for, I'm here when you're ready to share.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker based in Miami, Florida. I earned my graduate degree from Florida International University in 2010 and have been licensed since 2016.
My career began at Banyan Health Systems (formerly Miami Behavioral), where I worked as an adult mental health case manager back in 2004. After gaining my Masters degree, I continued to work for Banyan as a Child outpatient therapist and intake specialist. As a mother of three, I am deeply committed to family and believe that "family over everything" is the foundation of my personal and professional life. In my spare time, I enjoy dancing, spending time with my husband and three children, going to the beach and embracing the vibrant energy of my Miami roots.

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!

Everyone is unique in how we process and work through our problems. I believe in the rights of others and work to better understand the values of others without judgment. I believe that everyone deserves a safe place where they can freely express themselves without feeling judged or misunderstood while also being a place for them to grow.
I specialize in depression, anxiety, family issues, relationship issues, school/work, life transitions, drug use, parenting difficulties, behavioral concerns, self-esteem issues, and anger management.

Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 11 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families on a host of different issues. I have gained valuable experiences working in private practice, in a pregnancy center, working with the homeless population, community mental health and the Church. All these experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength.
You don't have to let anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or even career decisions prevent you from realizing your true potential. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination.
“Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction.
The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless. You deserve to be heard and to be healed.
