About me

I am a compassionate therapist committed to helping my patients become the best authentic version of themselves and owning their story. My work focuses on being client-centered and solution-focused while addressing various factors including dealing with difficult emotions, stress, relationship issues, parenting, family conflict, addictions (eating disorders and/or substance misuse), depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, low self-esteem, women’s issues, trauma, behavioral concerns, and other mood disorders. I enjoy working with teens and adults. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and provide a safe space where my patients feel supported, connected, and heard. As well as motivated to work toward their goals.

I graduated from The University of South Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology. I received my Masters in Social Work (with an advanced clinical focus) from Saint Leo University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and have over 10 years of clinical experience serving children, teens, adults, and families in a variety of settings including Community Mental Health and School Social Work. I am also a certified yoga teacher through Yoga Alliance.

My strengths include incorporating a holistic mind-body approach with yoga, meditation, and mindfulness (when appropriate). I blend these into the sessions when asked and needed to promote a more mind/body balance. I also am very empathetic and non-judgmental and easy to talk with. I provide a calm, accepting, and safe place to help you along your journey.

I am a big proponent of self-care, and love spending time in nature, at the beach, reading, traveling, doing yoga, meditation, journaling, aromatherapy, and being in my garden. I am a wife, mother, sister, and friend, and bring my own unique personal and professional skills to the therapy process.
