As a native Floridian, I've always felt grounded in this community. I completed my bachelor's degree at the University of Central Florida before earning my Master of Social Work from the University of West Florida. Today, I provide therapy in Orlando, Florida, and offer secure online therapy to individuals throughout Florida.
I was drawn to this work through both a natural desire to help others and personal experiences that deepened my passion for supporting individuals through life's challenges. I believe therapy is not about having all the answers, it's about having a safe space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making sense of what you're experiencing.
I believe every person deserves to feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment. My approach is person-centered, meaning I strive to meet you where you are with empathy, curiosity, and respect for your unique experiences. I integrate evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and trauma-informed care, tailoring our work to your individual needs, strengths, and goals.
I work with individuals experiencing trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, emotional regulation difficulties, and the unique pressures that often come with being a high achiever. I'm passionate about helping people who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected heal from difficult experiences, better understand their emotions, and develop healthy coping skills that allow them to move through life with greater confidence.
Whether you're processing past experiences, navigating a difficult season of life, or simply wanting to reconnect with yourself, my goal is to help you create meaningful change while developing a healthier, more compassionate relationship with yourself. I believe healing is possible, and that what you've experienced does not have to define who you become.
Taking the first step toward therapy can feel intimidating, and that's okay. I strive to create a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel comfortable being your authentic self. Together, we'll start where you are and work toward a life that feels more balanced, fulfilling, and true to who you are.
