Therapists in Florida

In my 13 years of experience, I have worked with individuals who are feeling emotionally stuck due to sadness, irritability, relationship issues, anger, financial loss, unresolved trauma, loss of a loved one and/or anxiety. These emotions may lead you into a mental whirlwind which feels chaotic and uncontrollable. But know that you are not alone and there is hope. I will provide you with treatment focused on using evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Based Therapy and Interpersonal Therapy. I will engage you in creating a treatment plan that works for you! I will assist you in identifying your interest of focus (personal issues), empower you to process and reach your goals as you achieve emotional stability in therapy.

My professional life began in high-performance corporate environments, where I spent more than two decades working under sustained pressure and responsibility. During that time, I earned an MBA from George Washington University and completed postgraduate work at Emory University. Those years gave me a firsthand understanding of what it means to function at a high level while quietly carrying the personal cost that often comes with it. My transition into clinical work was not a typical career change—it was a necessary shift toward meaning, balance, and long-term well-being. Over the past decade, I earned a second master’s degree and have provided psychotherapy in a psychiatric hospital, residential treatment programs, and private practice. My focus has been on helping people work through trauma, chronic stress, and identity concerns—especially when the lives they’ve built no longer feel sustainable or aligned. A formative part of my training included several years of intensive clinical work with individuals involved in a Drug Court program. That experience reinforced the importance of safety, clarity, and respect in the therapeutic relationship, and the understanding that change happens when people feel genuinely seen and understood. My approach is structured yet flexible, direct yet compassionate. I work best with people who want a steady, thoughtful space to slow down, make sense of their experience, and move forward with greater clarity and self-trust.
