I have worked with individuals, children, and families from a wide range of backgrounds throughout my career. However, I specialize in treating women struggling with anxiety, life transitions, self-love, and healthy relationships. In addition, as a biracial woman of color, I especially enjoy helping people work through multicultural concerns. I deeply honor each person's individuality and unique life experiences. For this reason, my treatment method is tailored to fit the needs of each individual I work with. The feedback I have received from clients is that they find me to be warm, empathetic, laidback and light-hearted.

I have a master's degree from the University of Central Florida, in the field of Counselor Education. I have been licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida since 2001. I have worked a combination of private practice, agency work as well as with the public school system. I am married, I have three children and one grandson. My foundation is that of a Person Centered Counselor, and important aspects of this include the use of empathy, unconditional positive regard and warmth. I also rely heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I apply a lot of reason in the counseling process and I believe that a good therapist doesn't work any harder than the clients that they are trying to help. I am a trained hypnotherapist and I find that this can be very helpful in working with individuals who have a past trauma that they continue to struggle with. I find that a career as a counselor is a very fulfilling occupation and I truly enjoy helping individual's find a healthier path with their life.
