She practices virtually at Money Talks Baltimore LLC for clients residing Maryland, Virginia, NC and SC and Money Talks Tampa, LLC for clients in Florida.

Immediate Availability! Yung Pueblo, one of my favorite writers says, "Personal transformation is not easy. Healing yourself takes time. Letting go can sometimes feel overwhelming. Building new habits can seem like an uphill battle. Even with all of these challenges, inner work is worth it. This active form of self-love can radically change your life." Growth isn't just about being in full bloom; it's the process by which you get there...and how you continue to thrive after all the messiness from that growth. But often, you can't do this alone or without the right tools, support, and encouragement. That's what I'm here for!

Thank you for visiting my profile. I love helping clients who are struggling with relationship issues and are eager to do the work it takes to form a loving and fulfilling relationship. I’m passionate about helping clients work through the consequences of childhood emotional neglect as it often impacts how we form relationships as adults. There’s a lot of suffering that comes as a result of emotional neglect/trauma, not just relationship issues. There’s typically anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, poor boundaries, feeling overwhelmed, a deep longing for, as well as, fear of connection, interpersonal conflict, etc.

Are you struggling with uncomfortable emotions that get in the way of becoming the best version of yourself? if yes, you have come to the right place.

Hi there, Have you ever struggled with understanding what you are feeling? Have you ever felt your feelings were invalidated and not know who to talk to about it? Therapy can be a very difficult step to take. With this in mind, I bring an empathetic, non-judgmental and warm client-focused approach to my therapeutic services.

Are you feeling lonely, sad, numb, lacking motivation, or having a hard time sleeping? Are you feeling anxious about everything in life? Do you speak negatively to yourself and have trouble believing in yourself? Are you having a hard time trusting yourself and relationships in your life? No matter what is going on with you right now, I believe in your ability to grow, heal, and strengthen your relationships. We will nurture an environment where there is trust and liberation for you to show up as yourself and engage in a process tailored to your unique needs; by providing culturally affirming, responsive and trauma informed care.

We each have experiences from early in our life that have left us wounded. As adults, we tend to recreate these wounds to feel more in control and hope for a better outcome. In my work with clients, we start to map out these unconscious cycles, identify how to enact change and combat any obstacles that may arise.

"Therapy is a journey one takes with a trusted professional who will walk side by side, at times guiding and at times following. There are no preconceived notions about this journey however brief or extended." These are the words I have shared over many years of training young professionals. Though I treat all types of individuals, my area of specialty is complex trauma - borderline personality disorder, PTSD, and dissociation. I am intensively trained in DBT and have been practicing and teaching DBT for over fifteen years. My team is DBT by Design/South FL DBT Consortium.

Our clients range between ages 10 to geriatric. We provide individual therapy, couples/marriage therapy, sex therapy, and juvenile/adult sex offender treatment. We have extensive experience working with justice involved families and provide comprehensive psychological evaluations.

I'm truly happy to join you on your journey toward discovering your most joyful, healthy, and fulfilled self. Navigating through life can sometimes feel like a steep, uphill trek, with the weight of the world on our shoulders. You are the epitome of that woman—the 'go-to' woman who is a pillar of strength for her family, friends, and colleagues. You've achieved a lot, but there are times when you feel like you're fighting a silent battle within, desperately trying to hold it all together. I see you. I appreciate you. And I'm here to tell you that investing in your mental health is not a luxury, it's a necessity.

Do you suffer from anxiety, panic, depression or addictions? Do you have patterns of toxic relationships? Are you feeling powerless in certain situations? If your answer is yes to any of these questions, give me a call. Perhaps EMDR can help reduce these symptoms and give you the life you deserve. EMDR has been proven to be effective. I will share with you tools to help you to identify triggers, learn to self-regulate, and much more. I am a LCSW, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, CSAT, Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and EMDR trained.

Feeling lost in the complexities of addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, or life transitions? You're not alone. I offer a safe, empathetic space where you can find healing and growth. From battling substance use to overcoming trauma and managing mental health challenges, I'm here to walk alongside you on your journey. Witnessing your progress brings me immense joy. Whether it's reducing symptoms or rediscovering joy and purpose, I'm committed to celebrating each milestone with you!

If you feel like there is no help, and believe that you will never be able to get over your grief, anxiety or trauma, bad relationships, etc. then you need to take a chance on me. Plenty of clients have felt similar and I have helped them to get to where they want to be. I'm an Intuitive Professional Counselor who works primarily with adults.

Do you find yourself gripped by anxiety and worry, no matter what you do? You try to do it all and please everyone, but still find yourself anxious and overwhelmed, feeling unhappy in your relationships and not feeling good enough. You’re tired of feeling this way. This isn’t the life you want. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to gain deeper insight into yourself & your past experiences, and you’re ready to stop living on “autopilot” and start creating new patterns in your life, so you can live your best life.

Do you find yourself being weighed down by past events or seemingly uncontrollable emotions? I treat all sorts of issues that people struggle with. I specialize in helping people overcome traumatic experiences, helping people with depression, anxiety, obsessive thinking, anger management, and worry. I firmly believe in therapy as two or more people working towards a common goal. I like to help people accomplish their goals, whatever those goals may be, in the most successful way possible. I do my best to be approachable and I have a laid back style. I want you to be comfortable as we work on overcoming life's challenges.

Welcome to the first step of your wellness journey! I congratulate you for your courage to seek support, and I'm here to make this journey with you. Together, we'll uncover the tools and strategies you need to not just cope, but to thrive and find genuine joy and purpose in your life.
