Hello! I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist through the state of Florida with a passion for helping my clients heal broken relationships with themselves and others. We all struggle, and we all could use a confidant, sounding board, mediator, and encourager on our team - this is where I come in! I have had 11 years of experience in the field of counseling since graduating with my Master's in Counselor Education and Specialist in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Florida in 2012. After graduate school, I completed my registered intern hours at a mental health hospital, working with severely mentally ill patients. Once licensed, I became a Primary Therapist at an eating disorder treatment center, where I counseled clients with disordered eating, as well as comorbidity with depression, anxiety, and OCD for 3 years. With these clients, I did extensive group therapy and family therapy work in conjunction with their individual counseling. Since 2020, I have run my own private practice with a focus on relationship issues and attachment styles. I became certified in Integrated Attachment Theory in 2024. In my work with both individuals and couples, we uncover the core wounds behind their attachment styles and work toward healing said wounds and becoming more securely attached, which can lead to improved mental health and healthier relationships. Whether I am working with an individual, couple, or family, I am always assessing the role each person's ingrained beliefs obtained from family of origin are playing in his or her life and relationships. Though coping skills are crucial, I will assist you in addressing the underlying belief system that is driving the symptoms. I look at things from a systemic perspective, taking all impactful relationships and the beliefs that arose from those relationships into consideration. My mission is to leave people better than I found them. Together, let’s improve your life!

14 years offering treatment
I am a licensed mental health counselor practicing in the state of Florida for the past 13 years. Much of my experience comes from working in a community mental health non-profit. This has given me the good fortune to work with adults and adolescents from all walks of life with all sorts of struggles, from mood disorders such as depression, difficulties with anger management and anxiety, to struggles within a family or relationship, to finding ways to cope with the everyday stressors that come with living in a very complicated time. I am a firm believer that anyone can benefit from counseling without some negative stigma. We all have times when a little outside perspective can help. I believe therapy should be an active conversation; we have moved far beyond laying on a couch and staring at a ceiling. My interventions often tend to be eclectic - a mixture of cognitive behavioral therapy, existentialism, solution focused treatment, client centered treatment, and even some humor when appropriate. Opening up about the difficulties we face can be a challenging but liberating experience. I applaud you taking this first step, and look forward to working with you.

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide.
