I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida with approximately 15 years of experience working with adults. I am also a Certified Clinical Mental Health Counselor Supervisor in Florida, where I provide supervision and support to counselors entering the profession and developing their clinical skills.I specialize in helping clients navigate OCD, trauma, depression, anxiety, life transitions, stress, academic and work-related concerns, anger management, self-esteem, parenting, grief, and bereavement.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and tailored to each individual’s goals, needs, strengths, and challenges.
