Have you experienced trauma and/or grief, and feel like you've lost yourself and your voice along the way? Are patterns in your mental health becoming noticeable? Are you recognizing how past experiences limit you, and how childhood events still affect you? I believe in putting the needs of my clients first, and enjoy working together to build a firm foundation that allows us to dive deeper. I strive to create an environment of safety, trust, and play to help cultivate and develop your strengths. I also believe my clients are capable of "great things," and I aim to help them believe this about themselves.
My main goal is to help clients reclaim their voice, whether it was lost or stolen. Your voice matters so much, and it deserves to be heard. Using a combination of various counseling approaches and music psychotherapy, I believe you can find your voice, become reacquainted with it, and reclaim your power.
I current see clients Sunday through Wednesday in my little office in College Park, Orlando. If you think you're interested and that we'd be a good fit, please don't hesitate to reach out! I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!

I enjoy using vocal psychotherapy to promote interpersonal and intrapsychic growth and change with clients. An embodied and somatic approach, music is used to create a stable, consistent, and safe musical environment to begin using techniques to access conscious and unconscious feelings, memories, and associations. You don't have to be a singer to try it out! It's all about forming a connection.

I use a multi-lens approach that combines humanism, holistic theories, trauma-informed principles, and existentialism. I believe in putting the needs of my clients first, and aim to meet you where you're at. Every session you walk through the door, you might have different needs to address, and that's okay! Our sessions will be spent focused on you and the ways you can begin to heal and grow.
