I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 10 years of clinical experience. I enjoy working with a variety of clients from all walks of life and have specialized training in perinatal mental health, trauma, substance abuse, and career counseling. I am an ALLY trained, culturally competent therapist, with years of experience in helping individuals from marginalized groups. I have extensive experience working with military service members and their families. I am passionate about helping individuals with performance/sports psychology issues, particularly athletes. As a counselor, I enjoy meeting new people and motivating them towards positive change by helping them find and implement their own solutions. Professionally, I utilize cognitive analytic, solution-focused brief therapy approaches to help clients formulate and find success in their own goals. Trauma informed practices and motivational interviewing techniques are essential in this approach. I bring my own background of teaching and coaching into the clinical arena in helping individuals explore new alternatives and solutions that work for them individually, as I believe each person brings his or her own unique challenges and strengths into the therapy environment.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the state of Florida. I studied at Florida Atlantic University where I received my Bachelors degree in Psychology (2011), and Masters degree in Social Work (2014) specializing in practice with Adults and Families. During my education I completed my internships in a Crisis Stabilization Unit (Baker Act Facility) and in a college counseling center. Since then I have continued my career as a Therapist working for a community mental health agency working with client's of all ages with diverse backgrounds. I have also volunteered at an LGBT resource center where I functioned as a peer counselor and researcher for healthcare disparities in the LGBT community. Additionally I have developed and facilitated LGBT safe zone trainings to improve support in the community. My approach to treatment is focused treating clients as real people who deserve a therapeutic relationship that is honest, validates their feelings and experiences, and challenges them to change. My counseling style is a more laid back, and I have been described as supportive, caring, and compassionate, with a pretty good sense of humor, and able to "be real" with clients. I employ education as a tool alongside cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, trauma informed care, and mindfulness skills to help my clients identify and reach their goals.
