I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master's degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University and a Bachelor's degree in Sociology from the University of Florida. I work with adults navigating life transitions and challenges including anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, addictive behaviors, and intellectual, developmental, and physical disabilities. Whether you're adjusting to a major change, feeling stuck, or wanting something different for your life, I believe therapy can provide a space to better understand yourself, build on your strengths, and move toward what matters most to you.

My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I believe meaningful change begins with a strong therapeutic relationship where you feel comfortable exploring what's important to you. Together, we'll work to understand the patterns keeping you stuck, develop practical coping skills, and move toward your goals.

Starting therapy is a personal decision, and you don't have to know exactly where you want to end up before taking the first step. My goal is to meet you where you are and support you as you work toward the life you want to live. If you feel we may be a good fit, I invite you to schedule an appointment.

I am a licensed mental health counselor (MH 5517) with over 30 years of experience. At age 40, I recognized my true calling in life. With three children at home, and working full-time with retail, I returned back to school to obtain my Master of Science degree in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University in 1996. Three years later, I received my licensure. I have worked with several programs affiliated with the Florida Department of Children & Families and with the children who experienced abuse and/or neglect. With this experience I was able to understand the impact of trauma on my clients.

I have taught classes in MAPP (Model Approach to Partnership in Parenting), ACT (Adoption Competency Training) & in PIP (Partnership In Parenting). I've taught classes associated with the Human Rights Campaign regarding LGBTQ issues. Working with couples & families, I help to reinforce attachments, helping family members with anxiety, depression or anger.

While supporting my clients, I work to create & maintain a compassionate, loving and supportive home environment. Using a blend of both cognitive-behavioral therapy & mindfulness, I am able to create a safe space where my clients are able to recognize their behaviors. I hope I can help you navigate your own life’s challenges to gain clarity and purpose.

I am a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) with over five years of experience in crisis, community, substance use, and correctional mental health settings. Using trauma-informed and DBT-informed approaches, I provide a calm, direct, and practical therapeutic environment. I am dedicated to helping adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma-related stress, anger, relationship concerns, life transitions, substance use, and feeling stuck. My goal is to offer a steady, non-judgmental space where clients can build concrete coping skills and regain their footing. 

By integrating CBT, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques, I help clients identify negative patterns, process difficult emotions, and take actionable steps forward. I collaborate closely with each individual to help them leave sessions equipped with practical tools for daily life. 

Taking the first step takes courage, especially when you are used to carrying things on your own. I am committed to walking alongside clients through difficult seasons, providing an encouraging and supportive environment for growth. If you are ready to find relief and start moving forward, schedule an appointment today.
