“Tell me, what is it that you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?” The poet Mary Oliver nails us with this question. Not being afraid of the wild, and finding your way to the precious, requires your most curious, present and compassionate self. When that self eludes you—which it does for all of us now and then—it’s lonely and frightening. Where did your clarity and intuition go? Why can’t you feel yourself anymore?

Hi there! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and a Florida native. I received my Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida. I have 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.

Through the process of therapy, you can develop new ways of dealing with conflicts, communication difficulties, grief and loss, and many other daily concerns. In a non-judgmental and supportive environment, you can make positive changes for a stronger today and future. I believe that addressing the relationship between couples may require a “sacred space”. This safe space can allow the therapist to work with couples in breaking down walls that may have kept them trapped in overwhelming situations, and aid them in developing deeper connections
