I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida and have been providing both individual and couples counseling services for over 10 years. I received my Masters in Counseling Education from the University of Central Florida (CACREP Accredited) and have a certificate in Marriage and Family Counseling. I have a background working with a variety of issues but have specialized in working with clients with anxiety, depression, addiction, and relational issues. More specifically, I have experience working with clients with trauma, low self-esteem, grief and loss, relationship issues and those who are going through life changes. I also enjoy teaching life and coping skills, assertive communication, boundary setting, identifying core beliefs and doing relationship counseling. Along with a base of person-centered therapy, while taking into account how society, culture, and family shape us, I may use cognitive behavioral therapy, and solution focused therapy depending on what is a right fit for the client. I believe no two clients are ever alike, and finding a rapport and trust with each client is a top priority. I create a safe space for you to explore who you are, your experiences in life, and what you would like to become or experience by providing a non-judgmental, respectful, calm, stable, and positive atmosphere as your counselor. I will allow and guide you to be your authentic self. Thank you for taking the time to read a little about me and most importantly, thank you for taking the first step! It can be difficult to take care of ourselves even when everything is going great, reaching out when things are hard is a big step.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida and a Certified Clinical Trauma Specialist. It has been my pleasure to foster great rapport with my previous clients by helping them navigate the difficulties and challenges of their lives. I feel fortunate to have had the opportunity to work in a wide variety of settings. I specialize in individual counseling and I have worked with children, adolescents, and families. My specialties include: anxiety, depression, substance abuse, trauma, domestic violence, and immigration/acculturation problems. My theoretical orientation is eclectic, combining cognitive-behavioral and dialectical behavioral approaches with mindfulness and motivational interviewing. My approach to therapy comes from the belief that every individual is their own expert and possesses the inner wisdom that guides them to find the right path, and my role as a counselor, is to help uncover your inner wisdom and resiliency.

I am a LMHC therapist, public speaker community organizer, social and environmental activist and have been listening for decades. I received my formal education at University of North Florida as Master of Clinical Psychotherapy, 2013. I also took a 9-month internship under Ed Wilder, in Clinical Pastoral Education, in deep listening. I worked in the Talk program at Wounded Warrior for 8 months- the warriors talked; I listened. Did you go through trauma? Are you, right now, in a high stress situation? Do you keep losing your patience or your professionalism at the wrong moment and you don’t know why? Do you keep getting in your own way? I use Trauma Supportive Therapy to safely address, as slowly as need be, the pain of the past that keeps coming to trip your defenses at all the wrong moments, in your present. I can be that supporting presence who will help sort it out by listening- really hearing you. Reflect your depth of feelings back to you. Validate what are your unmet emotional needs. I practice the therapy of defining personal meaning, so, together we will facilitate your thinking of your options, planning, purpose, and goals for living a meaningful life without being afraid of tripping over your past or yourself. I practice person centered therapy by meeting you where you are. I strive to be culturally sensitive, non-prejudicial and use strength-based therapy as a jump point, truly believing I am the guide for you, but you are the treasure/wisdom keeper. Of all the reasons people come to therapy: anger, guilt, anxiety, changes, transitions, depression, trauma, jealousy, and “it is just not working anymore”, the extra burden of race and racism is more than just a nuance to be nodded at in therapy. I will view race as central to all the other pieces, when it is central to you. I am inclusive, secular, competent, affirming and non-judgmental. I have worked with people in transition, people who are very much defined, “but things got complicated”, people in the communities of LGBTQA, Polyamory, Kink, non-gendered. Each are safe and welcome here.

As a licensed therapist in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop deeper self-understanding, heal from past experiences, and build resilient coping strategies. I have extensive experience addressing challenges like depression, anxiety, Trauma, relationship dynamics, and social interactions. My therapeutic work focuses on creating a compassionate, affirming space where clients can explore their inner experiences. I'm particularly passionate about supporting individuals working through social anxiety, attachment challenges, posttraumatic stress, and personal growth journeys. My practice emphasizes self-love, effective communication, and healing from difficult emotional patterns.

I’m a trauma-informed therapist who supports adults navigating anxiety, depression, and trauma. My work integrates Polyvagal Theory and Internal Family Systems (IFS), with a focus on helping your nervous system settle so real change can happen. I offer sessions by phone, which many people find allows them to feel safer in their bodies, less self-conscious, and more able to focus on what they’re experiencing internally. I was drawn to this work after seeing how quietly anxiety, trauma, and depression can take over daily life—disrupting sleep, relationships, confidence, and a sense of safety. I repeatedly met people who were doing everything they could and still felt overwhelmed or stuck. I wanted to help people experience real relief, not just manage symptoms. That path led me into trauma-informed private practice, where I help clients feel calmer, steadier, and more like themselves again. When we begin working together, we move at a thoughtful, supportive pace. Intake isn’t about rushing through your story; it’s about understanding what you’re carrying, how stress shows up in your body and mind, and what feels most important right now. We focus on building safety and trust first. Progress often looks like anxiety becoming less consuming, emotional reactions softening, and a greater sense of grounding in everyday life. I work best with adults who are seeking meaningful relief and are open to deeper healing at a pace that feels respectful and manageable. I’m committed to ongoing learning because effective therapy should continue to evolve. I regularly pursue advanced training in trauma-informed care, nervous system regulation, and body-based approaches, including Polyvagal Theory and IFS. I’m especially interested in how stress and trauma live in the body—and how therapy can help you feel safer, more regulated, and less overwhelmed in daily life.

In our work together, I strive to create a safe, welcoming space where you can slow down, reflect, and reconnect with your inner strengths. My approach honors each person’s unique journey and may include faith-based support for those who desire it. I also have extensive experience working with couples, adults and caregivers, helping them find balance, renewal, and emotional healing through life’s changing seasons. I believe therapy is a collaborative process one that empowers you to cultivate self-compassion, resilience, and a deeper sense of purpose.
