- LMHC
I'm a licensed therapist in Florida with extensive experience supporting individuals and families through life's most challenging moments. My work spans relationship and family dynamics, trauma and abuse recovery, grief, parenting concerns, and a wide range of mental health challenges.
I specialize in helping clients navigate communication difficulties, attachment issues, anxiety, mood concerns, and trauma-related experiences. I also work with individuals exploring identity, sexuality, life purpose, and self-compassion. My practice includes support for life transitions, caregiver stress, chronic illness, addiction recovery, and end-of-life concerns.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person's unique journey. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your experiences and build meaningful change at your own pace. I draw on evidence-based therapeutic practices tailored to your specific needs and values.
Whether you're working through relationship challenges, processing trauma, navigating family dynamics, or seeking greater self-understanding, I'm here to support you with genuine care and professional expertise. I'm honored to walk alongside you as you move toward healing and growth.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
