I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern with 5 years of experience supporting individuals of all ages through emotional and behavioral challenges. In my practice, I work with children, adolescents, men and women experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, OCD, ADHD, autism, behavioral concerns, or grief. My goal is to help clients heal from past pain, develop healthier coping tools, and rediscover their resilience in a compassionate and supportive environment.

I earned my Master’s in Social Work from the University of South Florida. I’ve served as a crisis counselor and grief counselor, helping children and adults process trauma and navigate life’s challenges. I often use cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to guide clients toward meaningful growth and lasting change.

Healing isn’t always a straight path, but you don’t have to walk it alone. I’m here to support you every step of the way with empathy and understanding. When you’re ready, I invite you to schedule an appointment with me so we can begin your journey toward emotional wellness together.
