I have a passion for helping people get through the difficult times in their life, whether that is from losing a loved one to just the day-to-day stress that life sometimes brings. Sometimes life's path is a difficult one to navigate alone and I want to be that person that walks beside those who are needing assistance in navigating that path.

Being able to help others has always been a passion of mine. My educational and professional experience has allowed me to create a broad variety of specialties. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Central Florida in 2004. During my stay, I was able to work with specialty organizations that focused on equality and activism for groups such as LGBTQ+, military support, and women's rights. The following year, I was able to dive deeper into the complexities of systems theory while at Nova Southeastern University.

I am passionate about helping clients struggling with issues related to self, self-identity, and relational distress. These issues typically manifest themselves in symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and relational conflict. It is my goal to partner with my clients to create an environment in which they feel safe, accepted, unjudged, and free to explore themselves and what they are experiencing. I have worked with adolescents ranging in age from 8 to 18 years, young adults, and middle-aged adults.

Accepting Life on Life's terms can be difficult at times. Its ok and even healthy to reach out for support. You get to choose who you trust and with whom you feel most comfortable reaching out for that support. Counseling and problem solving with a clinician in an office setting can provide a 'sounding board' & objective feedback in a mutually respectful and professional way. I look forward with my customers to an opportunity to grow and learn through their experiences, assisting at times to extract meaning from their suffering.

Are you exhausted at the end of your work day, burned out, or physically sick more often than in the past? As a caregiver, compassion and empathy drive your work, requiring an emotional investment in other people that leaves you drained. It can be difficult to set aside time for your own emotional needs. After all, we have been trained to fully focus on the mental health and well-being of other people. You want to provide the best client care, focusing fully on their mental health, and still have energy left for yourself at the end of the day.

Life is a journey that can be full of uncertainty. At times we need the assistance of a trusted guide that can help keep us on track, be a sounding board to offer support, and help coach us through the most difficult moments. My calling as a therapist is to provide assistance throughout this journey while helping you move beyond your past, develop new skills, and hone in on your strengths. My motto for therapy is: "I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become." -Carl Jung

“It it not the water around the ship that sinks the ship, it is the water inside the ship that sinks the ship.” Using this metaphor, I effectively help my clients figure out what exactly is “sinking their ship” and provide techniques and strategies to right their ship and put it in seaworthy condition. Specifically, I help my clients manage anxiety and depression, relationship issues, alcohol abuse, lack of self-confidence and self-esteem, and life adjustments.

Many days, pressure from others’ expectations can be mentally, physically & emotionally draining. It seems you are never good enough, always pushing toward perfection. Working hard, putting time in day and night, struggling to perform at work, school, home, with sports, family and peers. This can lead to overwhelming amounts of stress, fear, sadness, conflict, and irritability, impacting choices made. You want to feel valued and accepted, and are told to be mentally tough and stay strong. On the inside you are nervous, and fear failure. Outside pressure can be overwhelming, bringing feelings of self doubt, and fear.

I believe that therapy is a fresh start through change and self discovery. As a school counselor for 28 years, I saw the importance of addressing the social and emotional needs of individuals so they can be successful . I have expertise in mid-life issues, conflict management, stress reduction, divorce/ blended families and parenting. I am equipped with tools to empower you to make changes in your life, by providing you with open communication and trust. I often use Cognitive Behavior Therapy to challenge irrational thinking and start you on the road to meaningful change.

Something that I feel makes me unique is that my approach to counseling is to empower you to begin to heal. We all face challenges in life and need someone to assist us with unlocking our power to self heal. I was fortunate in being able to be both the counselor and client. That experience gives me the ability to understand how hard and scary it is to ask a stranger for help. I love and believe in what I do and I would love to help you!!!

Teens and young adults have been impacted by the pandemic like no other group. With important events like graduations, proms, sporting events, and trips all being canceled and trying to learn so much information over Zoom, it's easy to understand why teen depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation are increasing. Under so much stress, in a world where they feel unheard, many teens engage in self-harm, substance use, risky sexual behaviors, reckless behaviors, or even just procrastination to avoid some of the pain of day-to-day life.
