About

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida. My background has been diverse on the journey to becoming a therapist. My first degree is in Christian Counseling and Bible. I was a cross-cultural therapist and Relational Minister in Bulgaria for about 5 years. During this time, I really dove into concepts such as "doing flows from being" and "life is a relationship process."

When I returned to the US, I later used that education to segue into Case Management for adoptions and other family related issues. During that time, I saw a focus on strength-based services and Solution Focused Therapy. Over the years, I began to recognize that my ability to help as a case manager had limitations and I went back to school to get my MSW and ultimately my licensure as an LCSW.

My experiences have led me to believe that in almost every instance, we become who we are because of our experiences. And in that vein, I have also become a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional. I began to notice that many of my clients have experienced trauma, loss, and dissociation. Struggle for identity, dysphoria, and a need for self-worth are also common themes.

I approach therapy from a stance of warmth and acceptance. If you are ready to work, let's get started!
