Learn MoreAbout Me
As a licensed therapist in Florida, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex life experiences with compassion and expertise. My practice centers on creating affirming, inclusive spaces for LGBTQ+ individuals, young adults, and those exploring identity, relationships, and personal growth.
I bring deep understanding to challenges around self-love, communication, social anxiety, mood fluctuations, and life transitions. My approach is holistic and person-centered, honoring each individual’s unique journey and lived experiences. I’m particularly passionate about supporting clients through gender identity exploration, relationship dynamics, and personal empowerment.
My therapeutic work draws from evidence-based practices, focusing on building resilience, developing healthy coping strategies, and supporting clients in discovering their authentic selves. I welcome individuals from all backgrounds and am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care that respects each person’s individual path.
