We listen, act, and transform
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Hodges University. I specialize in helping individuals navigate trauma and anxiety using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). My approach is client-centered, believing that the answers you seek are already within you. I create a safe, compassionate, and honest environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace.
With experience working with clients aged 6 to 65 in settings like family reunification, intensive outpatient programs, and private practice, I have developed a deep understanding of diverse needs and backgrounds. I am committed to ongoing professional development and am currently training to become a certified trauma professional. I stay current with the latest mental health research and trends to provide the best possible care.
I offer flexible scheduling with online sessions available throughout Florida and in-person appointments in Naples, FL, making it easy for you to access support. Outside of my practice, I enjoy working with clay, spending time at the beach, and staying active through exercise and outdoor activities, which help me maintain a balanced and creative mindset. I am also actively involved in my community through volunteer work, fostering a strong sense of connection and support.
If you're ready to take the next step towards healing and personal growth, I invite you to reach out and schedule a session through my website. Let's work together to create a meaningful and fulfilling path forward.
