About me

I have been licensed in Florida for less than one year but have 6 years of experience working as an adult trauma therapist at a recovery center. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, mid-life crises, stress, low self-esteem, abandonment issues, empty nesters, coping with addictions, trauma and abuse, motivation, grief, good girl trauma, self-esteem, codependence, and confidence. I have also helped many women who have struggled with childhood trauma to include all forms of abuse.

My therapy style is warm, person-centered, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, empathy, and compassion, and I don’t believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, dialectical behavioral, psychodynamic, gestalt, solution-focused, and rational-emotive therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to be willing to ask for help and take the first steps towards change. To seek a more fulfilling and happier life through transformation and growth. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Penelope is such a great therapist. I feel so comfortable talking with her and expressing any feelings I have with her. She has been very helpful in my healing journey.

Penelope is down to earth and easy to talk to. She is good at getting you to open up without feeling any judgement. She makes you feel heard and helps you get back on the path you need to be on.

Penelope has a true gift for listening to what you have to say. In time, and at the right time she will provide you with exactly what you need to know. She is honest and she tells it like it is.
