Welcome! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker that is dually licensed in Florida and Arizona and am originally from California where I obtained my Bachelor's in Psychology. My background in social work, along with my counseling experience gives me a better understanding of all of the external factors that can contribute to an individual's mental health. I have been working in the mental health field for the past nine years with children, adolescents, and families in an outpatient setting. My experience has consisted of treating childhood disorders, improving family relationships, parenting techniques, psycho-education regarding mental illness, perinatal depression and anxiety, postpartum depression, couples counseling, adolescent changes, and stress management. I utilize a strengths based, solutions focused treatment to therapy, incorporating cognitive behavioral therapy as well. I have found that our thoughts are what tend to cause us the most distress, and if we are able to recognize and change those thoughts, we can have an improved quality of life. My goals as a therapist are to make you feel safe, validated, and empowered. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, with the client setting their goals and priorities for treatment. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, traveling, and reading a good book. I look forward to working with you!

I am licensed in Florida with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I believe we are the sum of what we encounter in life and how we react to these encounters. Encounters began during the time where we relied on others to love and protect us. When we didn’t have control over what happened to us. Sometimes leaving us with an uneasy perception of the world. If the perception is bad, the world is bad. If the perception is unsafe, the world is unsafe. If the perception is untrustworthy, the world is untrusting. Now the world in front of us has become full of unsatisfying feelings and a journey trying to escape emotional pain. As a Licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I combine the world of mental health and family/relational conflicts to help guide clients to a space where healing can begin. For over 13 years, my work includes working with children from infancy to teenagers; young adults to geriatric; and with families, from single parents to blended. If you are tired of running from memories; need help with regaining the control you thought you lost or you’re ready to deal with the personality that life experiences have created in you, we can join forces and I can help guide you to a place of healing and understanding. However, I utilize psychoeducational concepts in addition to other strategies and my environment is very relaxing. If you need someone to tell you how to feel, I may not be able to be that one and that's ok. The journey is yours to understand so that you can heal. Let’s work on developing a new meaning of your life so you can become a better you.
