About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida. I have 13 years of experience as a therapist and am board-certified in telemental health. I take a personalized, integrative and collaborative approach to counseling and psychotherapy, utilizing a wide array of techniques from depth psychology and individual psychology, narrative therapy, trauma-informed and person-centered therapy, humanistic and transpersonal psychology, cognitive behavioral therapy, and others. I also believe in the power of expressive arts therapy and often incorporate music, art and poetry.

I am well-versed in the treatment of depression, anxiety, addiction, and other mental health disorders. I also assist clients with issues such as life transitions, confidence and self-esteem, identity development, motivation, burnout, adjustment, relationship problems, grief and loss, and other life challenges.

My undergraduate degree is in music from the University of Miami. I earned a master’s degree in Liberal Arts from the University of North Carolina at Asheville, where I studied the confluence of Psychology, Philosophy and Religion. I received my Master’s in Social Work from Florida State University, with a concentration in clinical social work.

My goal is to create a caring and supportive space for you to feel. To feel safe, and seen, and heard. Fertile ground to fully be and become the unique individual that you are. Let's get to work.
