After-hours appointments available. I specialize in trauma processing, behavior modification, emotional regulation, and addiction recovery. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed by daily responsibilities or working to heal from past experiences, I am confident that I can help you navigate the path from where you are to where you want to be.

As a client, you can expect empathy, compassion, and a judgment-free space to explore what brought you here. We'll work together to uncover new perspectives, build resilience, and create meaningful change by recognizing and letting go of what no longer serves you.

Inspired by my experience in psychiatric crisis stabilization, addiction treatment, trauma processing, and the human-animal connection, I founded Calm Mind Clinic to help individuals across Florida create lasting positive change. I offer both in-office and HIPAA-compliant virtual sessions, ensuring flexible, accessible support tailored to client needs.
