I am a Florida-licensed mental health clinician with specialized training in trauma, addiction, grief, and emotional regulation. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Master Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP), with additional certifications as a Certified Trauma Treatment Professional (CTTP), and Certified Grief Professional. My clinical work focuses on helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma recovery, grief, and life transitions using a compassionate and whole-person approach to healing. I believe therapy should be a safe, respectful space where each person feels heard, supported, and empowered to move forward toward their best self. Clients can expect their first session to be a welcoming, supportive, and non-judgmental space where they can begin sharing their story at their own pace. During this session, we will discuss what has brought them to therapy, review relevant background information, and identify the concerns or challenges they would like to work on. Together, we will begin identifying initial goals for treatment and explore the strengths, supports, and coping strategies that may help guide the process. My goal is to ensure clients leave the first session feeling heard, understood, and hopeful about the path forward, with a clear understanding of how we can work together to support their growth and healing.
