I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 9 years of experience supporting individuals on their journey toward healing and personal growth. I help clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions while fostering greater self-awareness, emotional stability, and healthier relationships. My goal is to create a safe, compassionate space where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to explore new paths toward balance and resilience. My approach to therapy is grounded in empathy, collaboration, and evidence-based practices.
I earned a Master’s in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University. I draw from cognitive behavioral therapy, trauma-informed CBT, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, dialectical behavioral therapy, and mindfulness-based interventions to promote lasting emotional healing.
I believe everyone has the strength to heal and create meaningful change. My role is to walk beside you with compassion and honesty as you rediscover your sense of purpose and peace. If you’re ready to begin your journey toward growth, I invite you to take the next step toward emotional wellness, and I look forward to working with you.
