About me

Hello, nice to meet you. I look forward to talking with you. A little information about my personality is I am bouncy, bubbly, honest, and to the point. I believe we all need a encouragement in our lives to help us in a tough time. “Believe you can and you're halfway there." — Theodore Roosevelt. I am licensed in Florida with 4
years of professional work experience.” working with crisis, disasters, youth, teens, family, and adults. Prior to that, I did case management to help stabilize families and individuals who are in need with community resources. I also worked 10 years in law enforcement as a housing deputy and have experience with trauma and first responder burnout. I like helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, family conflicts, & parenting issues. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
