About me
*Accepting new clients*
You don’t have to keep holding it all together. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by depression, stuck in painful relationship cycles, or trying to heal from trauma, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to figure it out by yourself. I specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families who are navigating emotional struggles, communication challenges, or major life transitions. Using compassionate, evidence-based therapy, I help you reconnect with your inner strength, improve your relationships, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.
I’m a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, offering secure virtual sessions for clients. Clients often describe me as warm, down-to-earth, and collaborative. I draw from a range of approaches—like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, family systems, and trauma-informed care—tailored to fit your unique needs and goals. My approach supports deep emotional work as well as practical tools to help you feel better in daily life. Therapy with me is a space where you can be fully seen, heard, and supported—without judgment.
