I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 14 years of clinical experience. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from Nova Southeastern University.
My practice focuses on helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and trauma. Additionally, my extensive background in hospital settings has given me the specialized experience needed to support clients with more complex conditions, including schizophrenia, borderline personality disorder, autism, and traumatic brain injuries.
I believe in a holistic, wrap-around approach to healing. If your treatment plan would benefit from medication management, I will gladly connect you with a trusted psychiatric provider who will become a collaborative part of your care team.
