I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University, along with a certification in child welfare. I am professionally licensed as a Clinical Social Worker in the State of Florida. I completed my internship at the Pace Center for Girls, where I provided strength-based, trauma-informed therapy to girls both on campus and in the community. I have extensive experience working with adolescents and families in school settings, supporting those facing emotional and behavioral challenges. My clinical expertise spans a range of areas, including anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral issues, and life skills development. With a client-centered and strengths-based approach, I integrate trauma-informed and cognitive behavioral interventions tailored to meet each client’s unique needs.

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.
