Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in South Florida. I have 6 years of therapy experience rooted in trauma, abuse, anxiety, depression, and delinquency. I’m a proponent of inclusion and honoring self-determination of an individual. I have worked with adolescents and family units, empowering them to have more agency over their life choices and mental health. I have had the honor of working with the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas shooting in Parkland at the wellness center developed as a response to heal a community affected by gun violence. I assisted in developing treatment plans that centered on holistic health through wellness activities like exercise, art therapy, and support groups. I’m currently working in hospice supporting families through their journey of grief and loss.
My modalities that I incorporate are trauma-informed care approach which focuses on: safety, choice, collaboration, trustworthiness, and empowerment. I also utilize other evidence based approaches like cognitive behavior therapy, and solution- focused therapy.
My number one objective is to hold a safe place that fosters healing, learning, self- awareness and overall mental peace by highlighting your own strengths to build your toolbox to overcome challenges. Thank you for your time as you invest in a better version of yourself!

Many people wonder whether remote therapy can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be just as effective as traditional in-person sessions.
A key advantage is flexibility. Individuals can connect with a therapist in the format that feels most comfortable and convenient – by video call, phone session, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life.
Sessions are offered by licensed professionals, and people may choose to switch therapists at any time if they want a different fit. For many, online therapy provides a practical, evidence-supported option for addressing everyday mental health needs while maintaining flexibility and accessibility.
