I obtained Master of Social Work from Saint Leo University and hold an (LCSW) Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I specialize in helping individuals manage anxiety and have extensive experience working with clients exploring diverse aspects of identity and relationships, including polyamory, polygamy, and kink-positive communities. My approach is rooted in evidence-based methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices. Each session is tailored to your unique needs, offering you a choice between a structured plan to achieve specific goals or a more relaxed approach that fosters exploration and growth. For those seeking spiritual integration, I also provide faith-based counseling. I believe in the transformative power of a strong therapeutic relationship, where genuine connection and understanding are at the core. Together, we’ll create a safe, non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts and feelings, discover your strengths, and foster personal growth. Take the first step today—I look forward to supporting you on your journey to wellness.
My Clients
I became a mental health clinician because of my deep passion for understanding people and helping them navigate life's complexities with compassion and care. Witnessing the resilience of individuals inspires me daily, and I am honored to provide a safe, supportive space where clients feel empowered to explore and embrace their authentic selves. My goal is to help individuals overcome challenges and build a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
