Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and have been practicing since 2007. The major focus of my practice is on women’s issues, phase of life changes, and spiritual development. My purpose is to support you to live life at your greatest potential. I strive to guide you to be your best self no matter the external circumstances. We all struggle at different phases in our life, and I have found that it is best to have support and connection to navigate these difficult times. I have significant experience with treating depression, anxiety, trauma/abuse, perinatal/postpartum mood and anxiety disorders, eating disorders, grief/loss, addiction, relationship conflict, and family issues. My style is warm, friendly, and real. I am honest and direct with a sense of humor. I draw from many modalities, but my favorites are solution-focused, mindfulness practices, cognitive behavioral, and experiential. I want to give you practical tools to help you feel better as soon as possible. I also draw on non-traditional approaches including expressive therapies such as art, music, movement, and storytelling. If you would like to deepen your spiritual connection, I can assist you with that as well. I graduated with a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from University of Central Florida in 2007. Aside from being a therapist, I’m also a Certified Hypnobirthing Instructor, Registered Yoga Teacher, and trained labor doula. I love yoga, art, nature, spiritual connection, and living life!

About Me I’m a Florida-licensed therapist with more than 25 years of real clinical experience, offering warm, practical online therapy from the comfort and privacy of wherever you are. If you’re struggling with anxiety, stress, depression, relationship struggles, family tension, past trauma, grief, a major life transition, or that heavy sense of being overwhelmed and stuck — I’m here to help with proven, compassionate tools tailored specifically to you. You’ll have a safe, completely non-judgmental space where you can show up exactly as you are and feel truly heard and respected, no matter your background, beliefs, or life story. I’m a practicing Christian, and my faith quietly informs the hope and grace I bring to every session. If you’d like to include Scripture, prayer, or a Christian perspective at any point — just let me know. I’m very comfortable and happy to weave that in however much feels natural and helpful to you. If faith isn’t part of your journey right now, that’s absolutely fine; we’ll use the evidence-based approaches that fit you best. I’m here to listen deeply and provide the steady, experienced support that helps people feel noticeably better, often faster than they expect. I work with late teens (17+), adults of every age, and families. If this feels like the kind of therapist you’ve been looking for, send me a message whenever you’re ready. I’d truly love to hear your story and walk alongside you.

I have worked with many types of people in my career, but a favorite is helping those struggling with grief. People have come to me after losing a child, a friend, or a parent and even a close long-term romantic partner. Being overwhelmed with conflicting and confusing emotions is common and often they just need to be heard. Your process is unique to you and the last thing you need to hear is, "It's time to move on, stop crying." The goal is to take ownership of your grief, and all that comes with it. Sometimes permission is all that you need to allow whatever happens to happen. You are the director of how you choose to grieve. I specialize in addiction, intersex birth differences, grief, anxiety and trauma. Initially, my style is to work towards building a therapeutic relationship with you, always developing trust in its own time until you are comfortable revealing deeper vulnerability. I believe together, with minds combined, we find better solutions to what seems insurmountable. Since high school many have shared private information with me. I suspect they know just how much I can relate to their experiences. As a flawed human, with much life experience, my strength lies in compassionate understanding. I continue to receive letters of gratitude from decades old clients. I humbly respond, "I lit the candle you did all the work!"
