Complicated relationships are my specialty. I work with partners, parents, adolescents, and families and am passionate about helping my clients create the lives and relationships they desire. Together, we define what success means to you and then formulate a plan that allows you to achieve that success. As a social worker in the public school system, I developed an affinity for working with adolescents. My practice has expanded to serve couples and families, helping to create stronger parents, partners, employees, and family systems.

I work with adults and adolescents, assisting them in developing coping skills for issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, grief, body image and relationship issues.

Many of the people I have worked with have struggled with relationship issues, grief, addiction, depression, anxiety and life transitions.

I use a solution-focused approach where we will create goals and start to foster positive transformation from the first session, leading to increased insight and significant change with less time spent in therapy. Sessions are interactive, uplifting and collaborative.

I have gained recognition as a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional, National Certified Counselor and Clinical Supervisor.

As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Forensic Mental Health Evaluator, Collaborative Family Law Practitioner, and a PhD candidate in conflict resolution, I specialize in family discord including high conflict divorce and parenting coordination cases.

Psychological and drug testing can be used to support the resolution. Our group practice is regularly recognized as one of St Augustine's Best Counselors, and again in 2022.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who, for over 13 years, has enjoyed partnering with clients to create meaningful, positive change in their lives.
