With over 14 years of experience in the mental health field, I am a dedicated mental health counselor committed to supporting individuals and families through meaningful and lasting change. My clinical background spans a wide range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, trauma, and substance use disorders, with a strong focus on helping clients build resilience and restore balance in their lives.
I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an evidence-based approach that facilitates healing from trauma and distressing life experiences. EMDR can be integrated with a warm, client-centered therapeutic style to meet clients where they are and guide them toward improved emotional wellbeing.
With specialized training in play therapy, creative and developmentally appropriate techniques can be incorporated to engage children and adolescents. I believe in the power of involving the whole family in the therapeutic process, fostering healthier communication, stronger connections, and collaborative problem-solving within the home.
Grounded in empathy, authenticity, and a deep respect for each client’s unique journey, I strive to create a safe, supportive environment where healing can unfold. I am passionate about empowering clients of all ages to navigate challenges, discover strengths, and move forward with confidence and clarity.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical mental health counseling from Southern New Hampshire University and a Bachelor's degree in psychology from the University of North Florida.
Additionally, I hold specialty certification in complex trauma as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional - Level 2 (CCTP-II). My professional background spans correctional and forensic settings, community mental health, and private practice, giving me a well-rounded perspective on the unique stressors faced by each individual. I have experience working with diverse populations including military veterans, active-duty service members, first responders, court-ordered and forensic clients, trauma survivors, substance abuse, and individuals impacted by mood, anxiety, and personality disorders. I work with couples, families, the elderly, teens, and the everyday person like you and me. My passion for helping others who make the ultimate sacrifice for our communities and country led me to specialize in trauma work including first responders, active-duty military, veterans, and their spouses. Trauma disrupts an individual’s balance, and my mission is to help those affected restore that balance in their lives. I believe that everyone holds the capacity for transformation and acknowledge the importance of creating a place for both joy and suffering. It is important to feel comfortable and confident in a counselor who understands that change takes courage by providing a safe space to explore your inner world, life experiences, and relationships at a pace that feels right for you. I believe that every human being has the potential to thrive.
