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 committed to creating a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Whether you’re seeking clarity, healing, or simply a place to feel heard, I am here to walk alongside you. I work best with individuals who are open to growth and ready to take meaningful steps toward change—even if they’re unsure where to begin. Our work will be collaborative, intentional, and centered around your goals and priorities. For relationship concerns, I incorporate the Gottman Method to help couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and navigate conflict more effectively. If you’re ready to begin a journey of self-discovery and growth, I would be honored to support you. Reach out to schedule a session or ask any questions—I look forward to connecting with you.
