With nearly 20 years of experience in the mental health field, I have had the opportunity to work across a variety of treatment settings, including residential treatment, outpatient care, and intensive behavioral health programs. These diverse experiences, combined with my graduate studies at Nova Southeastern University and passion for helping others, have shaped the well-rounded and compassionate Licensed Mental Health Counselor I am today.
I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and empowering process centered on your unique needs, goals, and strengths. My decision to become an independent provider was driven by a commitment to delivering truly client-centered care, where each individual feels heard, supported, and respected throughout their therapeutic journey.
My role as a therapist is to help clients achieve meaningful personal growth by increasing self-awareness, strengthening emotional resilience, and developing practical tools to navigate life's challenges. I incorporate Choice Theory principles to help clients better understand how their decisions, behaviors, and relationships impact their overall well-being, empowering them to make positive and lasting changes.
My therapeutic approach is warm, supportive, and tailored to each client's individual needs. I utilize evidence-based modalities including Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Humanistic Therapy. Together, we will identify goals, build on your strengths, and develop effective strategies for creating the life you want.
Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, life transitions, or simply feeling stuck, I strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth can occur. My goal is to help you gain insight, build confidence, and move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and empowerment.
