“The flower that blooms in adversity is the most rare and beautiful of all.” — Mulan

For the past five years, I have been honored to walk alongside my clients as they navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, relationship issues, and self-esteem issues. I also work with clients struggling with mood disorders, OCD, and personality disorders, amongst other conditions. My journey in this field began with my education at the University of Central Florida, where I built the foundation for my clinical practice. It has been my mission to create a space where you can be yourself and we can work together towards healing.

If you're looking for a therapist who honors your story, sees the systems around you, and supports your growth with compassion and curiosity, look no further. With over 15 years of experience in mental health, I have had the privilege of working alongside extraordinary people, believing that people heal best when they feel seen. I value the concept of slowing down, breathing, and reconnecting with one's strengths. I work with individuals, teens, couples, and families, and I'm especially passionate about supporting people who juggle multiple roles or feel the weight of others' expectations. I have a bachelor's in human development and family studies, a master's in clinical mental health counseling, and I am currently working towards a doctorate degree in marriage and family therapy.

I’m a licensed clinical neuropsychologist and Certified Brain Injury Specialist (CBIS) who provides warm, collaborative, and evidence-based care for adults experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, cognitive concerns, neurological conditions, and life stressors. My approach blends empathy with structure, helping clients better understand both their emotional experiences and the brain-based patterns that may be contributing to them.

I specialize in working with individuals experiencing difficulties related to attention, memory, executive functioning, brain injury, stroke, chronic stress, and adjustment to medical or neurological conditions. I also provide cognitive rehabilitation and neuropsychological evaluations.

Clients often describe my style as calm, supportive, direct, and easy to talk to. I focus on creating a space where you feel genuinely heard while also providing practical tools, psychoeducation, and clear guidance to help therapy feel meaningful and productive. My goal is to help you gain clarity, reduce distress, strengthen coping skills, and feel more confident navigating daily life.

If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.
