I am a licensed mental health therapist with experience working with children, adolescents, and families navigating anxiety, trauma, low self-esteem, and relationship challenges. I use evidence-based approaches like CBT, TF-CBT, and family systems strategies to help clients build coping skills, improve communication, and better understand their emotions. While much of my work focuses on youth and families, I'm also open to working with adults, couples, and individuals seeking support, growth, and meaningful change. 

I take a collaborative, strengths-based approach focused on building practical skills for daily life. Using CBT, TF-CBT, and family systems strategies, I help clients manage anxiety, process trauma, and improve communication. Clients can expect a supportive space to grow, feel understood, and make meaningful, lasting change. 

Taking the first step toward therapy can feel overwhelming, and that's OK. You don't have to go through it alone. I'm here to support you at your pace in a safe, understanding space. When you feel ready, I invite you to take the next step toward healing and growth.

I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) with 17 years of experience supporting clients through major life transitions. I primarily work with women navigating relationship challenges, divorce, postpartum stress, low confidence, and periods of uncertainty. My clients come to therapy seeking clarity, stability, and meaningful change, and I help them build the insight and confidence needed to move forward with purpose.

I earned my master’s in social work from Barry University. I use a solution-focused, strength-based approach that helps clients clarify what is working, identify goals, and take practical steps toward lasting progress. My work encourages alignment, self-growth, and a deeper sense of control over the path ahead.

If you are ready to look within and take the first step, we can work together to help you create the life you want. Therapy moves at your pace—we may laugh, cry, reflect, and grow along the way. You do not have to do this alone. Reach out when you are ready, and let’s begin your transformation together.
