About

I completed my Masters in 2005, while also starting my journey in the field in 2004. I spent a year working in Opiate addiction but my true passion was children and families. I moved on to intensive services, working with underserved children and their families in rural areas, from 2005-2007. After leaving that position, I moved onto a company doing similar work. where I continued to work with children, families and adults that were underserved. I provided therapy in homes, schools and the office setting. I began to focus in on Trauma work as well as anxiety disorders to include OCD and all other anxiety disorders. After spending nearly 10 years in the field, I decided to get my license in the state of Florida (LMHC-Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and move into a management role where worked for the past 8 years. I supervised therapists, working to become licensed, so I spent a lot of time consulting on cases of all kinds. In this time I was also trained in various forms of trauma based cognitive behavioral approaches as well as EMDR (still learning however). My love of Psychology blossomed in my senior year of high school after taking Psychology as an elective course. I was fascinated by human behavior and why us humans were so unique. But enough about me...I am so excited to meet you. I know choosing someone to tell your deepest darkest secrets is not an easy task and can be downright scary. But us keepers of secrets understand the personal nature of this decision. You must choose wisely and choose what's best for yourself. That's the first step in this journey. Either way congratulations on just making this decision to try to take care of yourself. If I do become your choice we will make the most of our journey together and I do promise to meet you where you are at. The best analogy I can come up with is that I am the passenger in your car. You are in the driver's seat. I am going to do my best not to be a "backseat driver." I am only there to remind you to keep your eyes on the road, help you find your direction, and to hold the steering wheel for that moment when you just can't. My goal will be to get you to your destination safely. Wherever you choose that destination to be. No judgement just empowerment. Thank you for considering me as your therapist and good luck to you in wherever your journey takes you.
