I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with a background
in crisis stabilization, addiction treatment, and a wide range
of mental health concerns. Those experiences have shaped
me into a therapist who stays steady, grounded, and fully
present, even when things feel chaotic or complicated.
My path into social services began with a Bachelor of
Science in Community Health from the University of North
Florida, followed by a Master of Science with a
specialization in Mental Health Counseling and Marriage
and Family Therapy from Barry University.
Much of my career has been spent in inpatient, residential, and intensive outpatient
settings, where I’ve helped clients build insight and develop the skills needed for
longterm recovery. I blend empathy with directness, offering a therapeutic space that is
both supportive and accountable.
I don’t believe in onesizefitsall therapy. I meet you exactly where you are, whether
you’re dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, substance use, or a
major life transition. My style is nonjudgmental, conversational, and grounded in
evidencebased practices like CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and traumainformed care- but
always tailored to the individual sitting in front of me. I’m engaged, curious, and honest,
and I work to create a space where you feel safe enough to explore what’s happening
beneath the surface.
Patients often tell me they appreciate my calm presence, sense of humor, and ability to
make difficult topics feel manageable. My goal is to help you feel more confident in your
choices, more connected to yourself, and more capable of creating the life you want.
Outside of my clinical work, I enjoy spending time with my family, friends, and pets. I
love reading, staying active, and finding small, grounding moments in everyday life.
