About me

I'm a licensed therapist in Florida with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. My work spans relationship and family dynamics, trauma and abuse recovery, grief, parenting concerns, and a wide range of mental health challenges.

I specialize in helping clients navigate communication difficulties, attachment issues, anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma-related experiences. I also work with individuals exploring identity, sexuality, life purpose, and self-compassion. My practice includes support for life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, addiction recovery, and end-of-life concerns.

My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and build meaningful change at your own pace. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices tailored to your specific needs and values.

Whether you're working through relationship challenges, processing trauma, navigating family dynamics, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm here to support you with genuine care and professional expertise. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and growth.
