I work from a Person-Centered lens using techniques from Geek Therapy, CBT, Trauma-Focused/TF-CBT, Solution-Focused, Motivational Interviewing, and Mindfulness.
You don’t feel like you’re “enough” — smart enough, successful enough, attractive enough, etc. Throw in social media, and the comparisons are a daily struggle. You constantly worry about what others think or say about you, and this might affect your relationships. At some point, you stopped being friends with yourself. And you want it to change, and you’re ready to put in the work. The good news is, you’ve found a therapist (Ahem: Me) who wants to help. I’ve struggled with low self-esteem, as a teen and young adult, and it. Is. Hard. In our work together, we’ll explore what you need, understand why, and how to get there.

Hi there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and a Florida native. I've learned to roll with the punches and enjoy helping others not only survive, but thrive in adversity. I enjoy working with clients who are in a transitional phase in life. This could be a young person moving into adulthood, someone who finds themselves at the end of a relationship, career transition, or empty nester. Change is overwhelming and scary, but with the support of therapy, it can also be exciting to reinvent your life and become open to new possibilities and adventure.

You might understand why you do what you do — and still feel stuck repeating the same patterns. Maybe you’ve tried therapy before and found insight, but not lasting change. If trauma, addiction, or relational wounds are part of your story, you may be ready for therapy that goes deeper than coping skills and addresses the parts of you that learned to survive. I offer both traditional weekly therapy and personalized therapy intensives (ranging from 4 hours to 3 days) for adults who want meaningful, sustainable, experiential work in a relational and trauma-informed space.

I enjoy engaging with people about their lives, hearing what matters to them, what's meaningful, and encouraging them to live lives in alignment with those preferences. I partner with people to feel the permission really to be alive. I find it important to keep the work connected to what clients value; that fuels the resilience to tolerate change, hard conversations, and uncomfortable feelings (common elements of therapy). Given this, my ideal client/s is interested in feeling more self-acceptance, capacity to tolerate others, and to face unhelpful, old patterns with love in order to encourage choice and the possibility of change.

Life can be hard, and it’s easy to feel disconnected, lost, overwhelmed, or off-balance as we navigate the challenges of being human. During those times, we need a safe space where we feel seen and heard, where we are encouraged to experience our emotions, where we can be ourselves. Ted Lasso reminded us to “be curious, not judgmental”. For me, that is what therapy is all about. Being present and listening, without judgment. Therapy isn’t necessarily about “fixing” something that’s “broken”. Sometimes, the work is more about awareness, insight, self-exploration, or acceptance. We get curious, we ask questions, we explore. Together.
