I am licensed in Florida with 12 years of postgraduate clinical experience. I have worked with varied populations helping clients with presenting problems including self-esteem, family issues, stress, anxiety, addiction, relationships, trauma, depression, other chronic mental health diagnoses, career issues and more. I started my career before I’d graduated college, working at a crisis hotline. I went on to work with individuals struggling with severe and persistent mental illnesses in community mental health both before and after graduate school. Once licensed in 2015, I was able to expand the reach of my practice, working with more children, families, couples and individuals, who either had a mental health diagnosis, or a specific situational concern. I took some time away from practicing after that to be a stay at home mom and focus on my own healing and learning. I've learned so much since becoming a mom, that I now feel that’s my best qualification- the journey of healing and growth that I’ve personally taken. It has made me a better therapist, and fostered in me a new motivation to help others reconnect with their inner resources and purpose. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be processed with a sense of safety and acceptance. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey.
