It takes courage to heal and having a relationship with someone you trust has proven to be effective when seeking a more fulfilling and happier life. So as you take the first steps towards a change, if you are ready to take that step and willing to do your work, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

Welcome! Are you experiencing a major life transition? Are you feeling stressed hopeless, or overwhelmed? If so, I'm here to help. At some point in our lives we all go through some challenges and need support. Therapy can be that support. I am committed to providing a safe nonjudgmental environment where clients can explore their feelings and learn about the issues they are dealing with in order to grow and transition into who they would like to be. I have a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Florida International University. I graduated in 2013 with a Master of Science in Marriage and Family Therapy from St. Thomas University. I am also a member of the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where we can set attainable goals and achieve success through different therapeutic techniques such as solution-focused, cognitive behavioral, and narrative therapy. I have experience in individual, couples, and family therapy. Along with depression, anxiety, anger management, goal setting, and life transitions. Helping my clients to develop communication skills is one of my specialties.

**Welcome — I’m So Glad You’re Here** Deciding to explore counseling is not always easy. It takes courage to say, “I need some extra support right now,” and I want to honor the strength it took to arrive here. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, stress, low moods, or just feeling stuck in patterns that don’t serve you anymore—you’ve already taken the first step toward change by being here. My approach is rooted in “Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)”, a method that has helped countless people find relief and build resilience. What I love about CBT is that it’s not just about talking—it’s about learning skills and strategies you can actually use in your day-to-day life. Together, we’ll explore the thoughts and habits that may be keeping you stuck, and I’ll support you in gently shifting them so you can begin to feel lighter, more balanced, and more in control. Here’s what you can expect when we work together: * A warm, welcoming space where you’ll feel truly heard and never judged * Practical tools to help you break free from cycles of worry, stress, or self-doubt * Support in building coping strategies that *fit you and your life* * Guidance in reconnecting with your strengths so you can start to feel more like yourself again I don’t believe in “quick fixes,” and I don’t believe anyone is broken. What I do believe is that small, steady steps forward—when taken with support—can lead to lasting change. My role is to walk alongside you, offering encouragement and practical skills as you navigate your journey. So, welcome. You don’t have to do this alone. If you’re ready to take the next step, I’d love to connect with you. Reach out today to schedule a session—and let’s begin this journey together.

I began my working career as an elementary school teacher. Together, my students and I worked on academic goals. I soon noticed that learning issues of some of my students stemmed from relationship problems at home and at school. This effected learning behaviors often producing non-compliance, anger, depression, and anxiety for these children. These behaviors, sometimes with diagnosed or undiagnosed mental health issues, were usually not being addressed clinically and were taking a toll on their academic progress. I continued my education in counseling to better understand these learning barriers so that I could assist children and their parents. As I learned, I gained knowledge and skills to not only help children and parents, but also to help adults and families to navigate life’s problems and to attain their goals. Goals for the counseling process are associated with maintaining healthy relationships as well as adapting various changes that can produce a positive impact upon our lives. During therapy, my clients are made aware of the power they possess, how to dodge problems, how to accomplish goals, and how to perceive life in a positive manner. I now realize that I cared for my students more than for their academic progress. I cared about their personal well-being. I wanted them to feel productive and capable. I wanted them unencumbered by life’s problems but to have the resilience to overcome their deep seeded issues that affected their lives as a whole. I am interested most in sharing what I have learned to influence people reach their goals. It would be a privilege to assist you in this work.
