I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern working toward full licensure in Florida. I earned my Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, where I specialized in Military Families and Culture and Addiction Counseling. I also hold a Bachelor of Health Administration from the University of North Florida, where I graduated with highest honors. I completed a year-long internship at a residential treatment facility specializing in addictions and have experience working with a range of diagnoses, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, ADHD, autism, OCD, and personality disorders.

I use evidence-based approaches tailored to each client, including DBT, CBT, rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), person-centered therapy, and motivational interviewing. I believe that a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach keeps clients in the driver's seat—empowering them to find their own solutions.
