Sometimes, the way we have been trained to frame situations hurts more than it helps. Remembering your journey is unique to you and other's experiences do not negate your own allows yourself the grace you need to be able to move forward without unnecessary guilt.

I believe that everyone has the power within themselves to take control and create the environment that they want to live in - sometimes it just takes help to draw it out. I provide guidance on this journey for those trying to establish mental and emotional goals and want a plan to reach them. Issues such as intimate partner violence, bullying, anxiety, just feeling lost and not in control are examples of things I have worked with clients to overcome. Through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Choice Theory application I work with my clients to evaluate negative and irrational beliefs about themselves and the world around them, while also exploring what they really want in life for themselves. Navigating barriers, whether they be mental, emotional, physical, or cultural, and developing ways to overcome and thrive is a huge part of why I truly enjoy this work. I love watching people reach goals they’ve worked for!

I received my Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2025 and am currently pursuing licensure, however I have worked alongside survivors of domestic abuse through volunteerism for 20 years, and have been an educator in Florida’s public school system for 21 years, with students that had established barriers to thriving in their educational journey.

Outside of therapy, I enjoy time with my two children and their established hobbies of dance and karate. I also enjoy trail hikes, paddleboarding our beautiful Florida springs, and relaxing at the beach. When I am home, writing, drawing, and cooking are my go-to activities. I love finding and experimenting with new recipes!

If this sounds like the type of guidance you are seeking, I offer a 15 minute consultation to make sure I am the right person for you. If I am, then I would love to help you or a family member begin the journey to living a joyful life in the quality world you desire!
