A bit more about me…

Ever thought to yourself, Maybe I should talk to someone? I am here to validate and confirm that asking for help doesn’t need to feel uncomfortable or shameful. My goal as a clinician has always been to contribute to the paradigm shift that Therapy is for EVERYONE.

As a Millennial in modern-day America, along with many others, I understand that the struggle is real. I am no stranger to the discomfort, pressure, and sky-high expectations of living in today’s society. I am passionate about working with Adolescents and young adults to navigate this changing world. I have found that despite its negative track record when used strategically, social media can become a tool to inspire and empower us. Let me show you how!

As a queer woman, I am passionate about creating safe and affirming spaces for those who identify under the LGBTQIA+ Umbrella. Whether you are questioning, struggling with identity, or looking to explore your sexuality, rest assured you do not need to do it alone with many years of lived experience and experience working with LGBTQIA+ individuals at an Inpatient Psych. The facility, my office, is a safe space for you to be unapologetically and authentically yourself.

Are you a self-proclaimed people-pleaser? Have you ever wished you were more assertive or confident? In our lives, we may sometimes find ourselves experiencing compassion fatigue or developing underlying resentment due to poor boundary setting. I am here to educate and assist with identifying characteristics of codependency, poor boundaries, and negative self-talk. Instead, we will work to develop healthy boundaries and alternative behaviors to co-dependency and learn positive self-talk. A foolproof guide to creating and maintaining healthy boundaries and meaningful relationships, if you will. Hard work at first, but you’ll thank yourself later.

I received my Bachelor’s in Social Work from Saint Leo University and continued to receive my Masters in Social Work From Florida State University. I am currently a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern under supervision while I work towards my clinical license (LCSW). Throughout my career, I have worked in a variety of settings. I previously worked as a Behavioral Health Therapist on a Crisis Stabilization unit, as well as worked as a counselor in an outpatient substance abuse center. Each role gave me experience and lessons that assist my work with clients today.

Working with Adolescents, college students, and young adults to navigate life’s challenges.

Building self-esteem and developing personalized self-care plans to enhance the quality of life.

Learning how to tackle anxiety and depression with grounding techniques, self-care, and the development of self-esteem.

Gaining knowledge on attachment styles to enhance platonic and romantic relationships in your life.

Learning how to cope with stress from work, college, relationships, family, and lack of self-care.

My Fun Facts:

I am a HUGE Hockey Fan. (Go Lightning!!!) I have also visited 13 out of 32 NHL Arenas. I have made a habit of purchasing a home team puck from every stadium I visit to add them to a display case in my home office. Someday, I hope to visit all 32 Arenas!

I love to travel and visit the US National Parks. Hiking has become an excellent way for me to stay active and appreciate all of mother nature’s wonders. I also love indoor/outdoor rock climbing in my spare time. It has become such a great way to stay active and self-care.

I have a 4yr old long-haired Chihuahua named Kai, who is my entire world. You can often find us hanging in a hammock at Vinoy park. I find reading by the water therapeutic, and Kai enjoys watching the squirrels dodge rollerbladers and bikers on the sidewalks around us.

Although there are technically five love languages, Coffee should be the 6th. As a Pinterest quote once said, “I don’t drink coffee to wake up. I wake up to drink coffee.” During my travels, one of my favorite things is researching the best coffee shops each city has to offer. As a St. Pete local, I am proud to say some of our very own are in my top 10!

Nice to meet you!

Let’s get to know each other!

As a therapist, I believe that meaningful change starts with feeling seen, heard, and understood. My approach is rooted in building genuine, trusting relationships where clients feel safe to explore their thoughts and emotions. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and I’m committed to walking alongside each person at their own pace, honoring their experiences, and helping them reconnect with their strengths.
I work with teens, adults, and couples facing a wide range of concerns—from anxiety, depression, and life transitions to sexual dysfunction, stress, and relational challenges. I also have a special passion for supporting couples in deepening emotional intimacy, improving communication, and rebuilding trust using research-based Gottman techniques. Whether you’re navigating a major life change or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to help you move forward with clarity and purpose.
Each session is intentionally tailored to meet your unique needs. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Gottman techniques, and Positive Psychology. These approaches allow me to help clients challenge unhelpful thought patterns, develop practical coping strategies, and build on their existing strengths in a way that feels empowering and sustainable.
Whether you’re stepping into therapy for the first time or returning to continue your personal growth, I’m here to support you with empathy, encouragement, and evidence-based care that truly fits your life.

A bit more about me…

Outside of the therapy space, I’m someone who genuinely loves connecting with my community. I believe healing doesn’t just happen in sessions—it happens in the little moments of daily life, relationships, and self-discovery. My passion for mental health is deeply rooted in a desire to help others feel more at ease in their own skin and more confident navigating the ups and downs of life.
When I’m not working with clients, you might find me getting involved in local community projects, enjoying the slower pace of small-town living, or simply recharging with a good book and a cup of coffee. I bring that same grounded, thoughtful energy into my sessions—meeting people where they are and helping them feel both supported and empowered.
As a therapist, I’m always learning and growing, just like the clients I work with. I stay current with continuing education and regularly explore new tools and techniques that may benefit the people I serve. My goal is to provide a space where you not only feel safe and heard, but also inspired to make meaningful changes that last.

My Fun Facts:

• My wife and I live in Brooksville, FL with our 5 cats and German Shepherd (all rescues!)
• I love photography and utilize old film cameras.
• I went to Flagler College in St. Augustine, FL as well as Nova Southeastern University in Tampa, FL.
• I collect vinyl records.

Nice to meet you!

Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC)

Let’s get to know each other!

I am a Registered Mental Health Intern with roughly 2 years of experience in therapeutic work, specializing mainly in grief/loss, trauma, and behavioral disorders. I have experience in telehealth video sessions as well as in-person work. My main approach with clients is humanistic and heavily client-centered; the other main component to my approach is trauma-focused work.

I cannot wait to begin a new journey with you. Mentors in the past have told me that, every client is the foremost experts on themselves—and I agree! In counseling, my main goal is to support you while you take the next steps in your personal journey. My office and conversations with me are a safe space for us to find you in the middle of.

I have dabbled in a few positions in order to learn how to help each client individually, to tailor my approach. My main goal has always been to land in private practice, engaging in the face to face work with each client. My most expansive experience is with those struggling with:

• Depression
• Grief and Recent Loss
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• Trauma
• Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

Although my service with clients has ranged across all ages and many disorders or life situations, I primarily work with:

• Adolescents
• Young Adults
• Adults (of all ages!)

A bit more about me…

I welcome all individuals regardless of religion, age, gender, sexuality, ability, culture,and more. Clients will find in session with me, they are at the ‘helm’ of our journey. I believe that as a client in the therapeutic space, my obligation is to be alongside you as we engage in the work involved in handling your presenting issue. This means that what a client comes to the therapeutic space with is what we will tackle, together. I do tailor each approach to each client, and our work together is a collaboration between us.

Clients can expect a session with me to look like 50 minutes spent focusing on what they bring into the room. I understand that the thread that runs through therapeutic work is non-linear, so whatever you bring to the table, we will unwrap it regardless of the subject.

I make use of several modalities while working with clients, including CBT, DBT, person-centered theory, humanistic theory, mindfulness interventions, polyvagal interventions, and trauma-focused interventions.

My combination of interventions mean that my approach in session is significantly guided by clients and, specifically means that the focus is on building a strong therapeutic relationship before we delve into deeper parts of our work together. I am able to meet with clients in person as well as over telehealth.

My Fun Facts:

• I am a Registered Mental Health Intern and National Certified Counselor (NCC).
• I am a twin! (The younger of the two!)
• I have played an instrument—the viola—for the last 19 years.
• Some of my favorite things include: coffee, books, new words, ballet, and musical theater.
