I am a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor who is passionate about supporting adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. I bring a warm, grounded presence to my work, helping clients feel safe, seen, and understood as they explore their inner world. My therapeutic style is collaborative, curious, and nonjudgmental. I work closely with each client to create an individualized treatment experience tailored to their unique needs, values, and goals. I am dedicated to offering empathetic, individualized, and evidence-based care that empowers clients to reconnect with their strengths and build a more meaningful, balanced life.
I blend CBT and DBT skills with a holistic, polyvagal-informed approach that honors the deep connection between mind, body, and emotion. I incorporate somatic and IFS-informed strategies to help clients develop nervous system awareness, strengthen self-compassion, and move toward lasting healing.
Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to work through it alone. I offer a calm, supportive environment where you can explore your experiences and grow in ways that matter to you. When you feel ready, I’m here. "Sometimes you lose yourself because you're about to discover a more profound reason for living, an undeniable purpose which defines your path"

I work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, and trauma. During our initial sessions, we will delve deeply into the issues at hand, and collaborate to create a plan for addressing them in a way that helps you get your life back. Most of my clients see a gradual lifting of symptoms within the first month and sustained improvement thereafter
