I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker based in Florida. I graduated from New Mexico Highlands University in 2021 after several years working in community-based agencies. I was drawn to social services in 1996 out of a desire to not only help others, but to access the resources I needed to help myself heal. I have a personal understanding of what it takes to pull yourself up out of darkness and learn the skills to heal, grow, and move forward to a happy and stable life. Trust me - you can feel better. If you are here, you're already using your innate strength to take the first step to relief.

 

I am interested and experienced in (but not limited to) neurodivergence, systemic issues, women’s issues, men’s issues, parenting at all stages, narcissistic abuse, domestic abuse, anxiety, depression, life transitions, navigating divorce, break ups, no-contact, feeling misunderstood and out of place, resolving childhood issues, losses of all kinds, and cancer.

 

My approach is humanistic, trauma-informed, gender-affirming, and grounded in attachment theory. Using a strengths-based approach, I incorporate a variety of techniques that are tailored to you and your unique needs. These include solutions-focused, nature, mindfulness, meditation, breathwork, and cognitive restructuring. I am trained in EMDR and always use a trauma-informed approach. 

 

I am dedicated to supporting you in your healing. You are seen and heard without judgment as you heal from the complexities of life and relationships, and are empowered to move through the process of change at your pace. We’ll collaborate to identify goals to work towards while developing self-awareness, self-compassion, and coping skills. This is not coaching - this is a therapeutic relationship that is meant to heal the hurts you may have experienced in other relationships. We'll take the time you need to feel stable.
