Is your child or teen struggling to manage their emotions or having a hard time paying attention in class? I am here to help! I am a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern; Masters in Social Work graduate from Florida State University. I have spent most of my career in the child welfare system assisting a very vulnerable population navigate an extremely challenging time. As a licensed foster parent I have gained a unique experience working with children and teens; but also parenting alongside biological parents to better understand their child’s specific needs.

Many present-day struggles have their origin in responses to traumatic experiences in the past. While these responses deserve great respect for having kept us alive (physically and/or emotionally), moving from surviving to thriving asks us to recognize that the past is not present. Working together, we can strengthen your ability to stay and feel with what is, rather than continue to respond to the trauma that was. We can gently lay those old trauma responses to rest and find new, healing ways of responding to the here and now.

My expertise is helping people (teens and adults) who have lived through a trauma to live a more fulfilling life in alignment with their abilities, values, and beliefs. If you feel stuck, find yourself repeating past negative patterns, self-medicating, or self-sabotaging and want positive change, schedule an appointment today.

Have you ever felt like no one understands what you are going through? That you are alone on this road called life and not really sure where it is taking you?

As you take this big step in your journey it can bring a lot of nerves and excitement at the same time. It is not easy to find a stranger to talk about your feelings with. I want to be the person who will fill your cup up when you need it the most.

Are you an individual who is now in recovery and you feel no one in your immediate support group understands you?
