Hello! I am so glad you're here. While everyone needs a helping hand from time to time, it can sometimes be difficult to take the steps needed to seek out therapy. I commend you for the awareness and insight it takes to know when to seek out help. I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in the sunny state of Florida. I work with clients from a variety of ages, though I primarily work with children and teens as well as their families. I also provide individual therapy services. I am not providing couples therapy at this time.
Our comfortable waiting room
I tend to connect very well with children and adolescents. My approach is empathetic, gentle, and open-minded, especially in working with kids. The implementation of family therapy services is based on each client's specific needs, desire, and comfort level.
You are not alone in whatever you may be experiencing. Life can often be filled with stress, anxiety, and traumas which can feel overwhelming. I work with clients to help them develop healthy and effective tools to successfully overcome their hardships. I am here to meet you in whatever stage of your journey you are in without judgment or bias.

I often work with clients who may be struggling with depression, anxiety, OCD, and self esteem concerns. During our initial sessions, we will identify and delve into the presenting issue and work to create a plan for treatment. Most of my clients experience a gradual decrease in problematic symptoms throughout the first couple of months and sustained improvement thereafter.
