Nice to see you here!
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring 11 years of dedicated experience supporting individuals through complex life challenges. My practice centers on creating a compassionate, affirming space for clients navigating stress, anxiety, mood instability, grief, and significant life transitions.
I specialize in addressing a wide range of diagnoses. I am very interested in those with anxiety, mood instability, depression, psychoses, and healing from past traumas. My approach is psychodynamic and tailored to each individual's unique experience. I tend to focus on supporting adults seeking a progressive, therapeutic environment. My therapy is not faith-based, but I am Christian in upbringing.
I am glad you are here! I'm committed to helping clients develop resilience, understand themselves more deeply, and create meaningful pathways toward emotional wellness and personal empowerment.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
