Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I graduated with my Master's Degree for the University of South Florida.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist I work every day supporting individuals with multiple issues. My determination and love of learning has guided me in my practice by taking information, and turning it into action in the best interest of those I serve. My approach is mindful, and compassionate. One of the most profound determinants of how we experience our lives is how we feel about ourselves–our sense of worthiness. We live with ourselves day in and day out—and the story (our narrative) we tell ourselves is reinforced for better, or for worse. The health of our relationship, the one with ourselves, often dictates the health of our relationship with others. We all have the innate capacity to grow and change, to be resilient in the face of challenges, and to be empowered to change patterns of behavior and relationship that no longer serve us. I work to meet people where they are and to create a safe and supportive environment in therapy that allows for exploration and growth. My goal is to empower individuals and families to identify and utilize their inherent strengths to navigate obstacles and interpersonal challenges. I am relational, and solution focused, and am not afraid to tackle “hard issues” from a strength based perspective. Working with Poly couples is something I also enjoy! Mindfulness, unconditional positive regard, and hope are tenets I live by, and will be ever- present in our therapeutic journey. I hold dual licenses in Vermont & Florida.
