Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello! I’ve been a licensed psychotherapist in the state of Florida for the past 11 years. I graduated summa cum laude from Barry University with a Master of Social Work. I’ve worked in different areas of practice, including community mental health, addictions, and children and families. I have a special place in my heart for helping teenagers, parents of children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and individuals with anxiety and depression – especially women who have experienced post-partum depression and psychosis. I strive to be my most authentic self and when appropriate, sprinkle in some humor into our sessions.
I tap into your existing inner strengths and use those to help you figure out solutions and come up with strategies. I specialize in working with teens and adults who experience issues with stress, self-esteem/confidence, anxiety, family conflict, depression, grief/loss, and trauma (I’m trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy).
We’re a team and we will figure things out together – whatever it is. I deeply care about the people I help. Clinical skills are very important for a therapist to have, but what I think matters most is the rapport and trust clients have with their therapist. I want to empower my clients to build insight and skills to better handle what life throws at them.

Many people ask whether remote therapy really helps. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, or adjusting to life changes, research and clinical experience indicate that online therapy can be as effective as traditional in-person care.
One major benefit is flexibility – individuals can connect in the format that fits their lifestyle, whether by video, phone, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability often makes it easier to attend sessions consistently and integrate therapy into a busy schedule.
Therapists offering online services are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to change therapists if they feel a different match would be more helpful. Online therapy can be a practical, accessible way to get support for everyday mental health challenges and transitions.
