Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past experiences that resurface during stressful moments? You're not alone—and you're in the right place. If you’re exploring therapy for yourself, your child, teen, or your family, I offer a compassionate and professional space where healing and growth can begin. Life’s challenges—especially those rooted in trauma, anxiety, grief, or family conflict—can deeply impact how we function emotionally, socially, and mentally. These struggles can affect your child’s behavior, your teen’s confidence, or your own ability to cope. The good news is that healing is possible.
I specialize in working with children (ages 2+), teens, adults, couples, and families who are dealing with emotional challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, behavioral concerns, ADHD, grief, or relationship issues. I work with clients in Orlando, throughout Central Florida, and across the state via secure Telehealth sessions.
As a trauma-informed therapist, I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each age and need. These include Play Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and Solution-Focused Therapy. With younger children, I use therapeutic play to help them process emotions and build healthy coping skills in a in a developmentally appropriate way.
