My dedication to helping others was shaped by formative life experiences and has deepened over time through both personal growth and professional development. A pivotal moment in this journey was my service as a medic in the military, which solidified my commitment to supporting others in times of crisis and vulnerability. Since then, I’ve had the privilege of working in a variety of roles within the behavioral health field, each one deepening my understanding of human resilience and further strengthening my commitment to the helping profession. Over the years, I’ve supported individuals across the lifespan as they worked through a wide range of challenges, including trauma, grief, mental health concerns, life transitions, involvement with the legal system, and other impactful stressors. My education and clinical experience have strengthened my therapeutic skills, broadened my perspective, and deepened my empathy—enhancing my ability to effectively support and empower others while fostering my own personal and professional growth. Through this growth, I developed a strong alignment with an Adlerian theoretical orientation, which emphasizes a holistic, goal-oriented approach rooted in social connectedness, personal development, and the belief that every individual has the capacity to realize their full potential. This orientation also integrates evidence-based practices that promote harm reduction and wellness strategies, all aimed at improving overall quality of life. As Alfred Adler observed, “Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words.” In therapy, this movement—toward connection, self-awareness, and healing—signals the start of true transformation. I firmly believe that embracing this principle helps individuals recognize their full potential and fosters meaningful change through active engagement, ultimately leading to greater well-being.

I am very passionate and driven to help provide my clients with compassionate, empathetic, ethical, and culturally competent care that will help them achieve their objectives and goals. I believe therapy is not one size fits all, and that treatment should be tailored according to the unique needs of every client. I will meet you wherever you are at on your journey and help guide you every step of the way. My goal is to help provide you with a safe and caring environment to help foster a collaborative relationship and give you the best chance for success. I would be honored to walk with you on your journey. Please know that you are not alone, and you matter!

As a dedicated counselor, I guide individuals through the complexities of emotional well-being, relational patterns, and personal growth. My work is rooted in existential philosophy, blending eclectic and trauma-informed approaches to empower clients to explore their authentic selves and navigate life’s challenges with resilience and clarity. I believe in the profound impact of social connectedness on mental health and self-esteem, and I’m passionate about helping clients build relationships that foster trust, empathy, and belonging. My approach is grounded in evidence-based practices, and I offer compassionate support to those seeking to enhance their connections with themselves and others. Through a strength-based lens, I work collaboratively with clients to embrace vulnerability, acknowledge their unique stories, and empower them to make meaningful lasting change. True growth happens in relationship with others and with oneself.

As a dedicated mental health professional with a focus on cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), I am committed to helping clients identify and navigate their conscious and subconscious thoughts and feelings. My approach is centered on fostering overall well-being and empowerment, guiding you toward reenergizing your life and achieving your mental health goals. With a unique background as a military combat veteran and law enforcement officer, I bring a deep understanding of the challenges faced by individuals in high-stress professions. I recognize the complexities of experiences such as PTSD, anxiety, relationship difficulties, and various stressors that can impact personal and professional life. My lived experiences allow me to relate to clients on a profound level, fostering a safe and supportive environment for healing. In addition to addressing issues such as self-harm and depression, I am also equipped to support clients navigating faith-based and spiritual struggles. Together, we will explore therapeutic approaches tailored to your individual needs, helping you find the best path forward toward mental health and wellness. I invite you to embark on this journey with me, where your well-being is the priority, and together we can work towards a brighter, more fulfilling future.

As a therapist, I believe that healing begins in relationships - especially the one you have with yourself. I offer a warm, grounded, and collaborative space where you can explore your inner world, reconnect with your authentic self, and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach integrates person-centered therapy, attachment theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and relational psychodynamic work. I specialize in working with people navigating anxiety, attachment wounds, relationship struggles, low self-esteem, high sensitivity, and neurodivergence. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns that once helped them survive but are no longer serving them. Together, we explore those patterns with curiosity and compassion, not judgment. Clients often describe me as calming, present, and easy to talk to. At the same time, I am an active therapist: I don’t sit back silently, but instead engage thoughtfully, ask meaningful questions, and offer gentle guidance when needed. I see therapy as a shared journey, one where my role is to provide both a safe haven and a catalyst for meaningful change. Growth often involves discomfort, and I aim to support you in stretching just enough to foster that change, without overwhelming your system. Ultimately, I want therapy with me to feel like a place where you can bring your full self, messy, uncertain, hopeful, tender, and be met with care, insight, and genuine connection. In addition to my clinical work, I am passionate about research and am currently pursuing my PhD, focusing on culture shock, reverse culture shock, fluctuations in self-concept, and belonging.

I am a compassionate and experienced ANCC Board-Certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP) dedicated to providing high-quality mental health care. With over 15 years of nursing experience, I have had the privilege of caring for diverse populations across Florida, gaining valuable expertise in understanding and addressing a wide range of mental health needs. Currently, I focus on delivering virtual psychiatric care to patients in both Florida and Colorado, helping individuals access the support they need from the comfort of their homes. My approach emphasizes creating individualized treatment plans tailored to each person’s unique needs and goals, always prioritizing a client-centered, empathetic approach to care. Whether working with those facing anxiety, depression, or other challenges, my mission is to empower patients to achieve improved mental well-being and a better quality of life.

My passion is to be a beacon of light to all clients. I have the ability to bring authenticity, compassion, trust, and openness to the therapy setting. I desire to get clients to a place of thriving in this life when it feels like they are unable to just survive. I prioritize making connections with each client to discover who they uniquely are. I feel a sense of purpose and joy when engaging with clients by being fully present. I look forward to building a safe and warm therapeutic relationship that is beneficial to each client's growth and personal journey.

I believe trust and authenticity are what create a strong foundation in the therapeutic relationship. Everyone has a different perspective on the world. We all have hurts and experiences that make us feel like we need to do more or be more to feel worthy of a good life. No matter your hurts and experiences, I will meet you where you are with honesty and genuine curiosity about your worldview. I will walk with you through the hurdles of life. What therapy with me is like: I am an LGBTQ+ affirming clinician and use an integrative counseling approach, drawing from multiple modalities and theories. I most often draw from person-centered and reality therapy perspectives. I challenge my clients by offering multiple points of view while ensuring they feel they have the autonomy to take with them what works and leave the rest. I often assign homework between sessions so that growth can occur in and out of the therapy space. I welcome and encourage my clients to give me feedback about what is and isn’t working for them. While I have undergone extensive training to be an effective therapist, my clients are the experts of their own lives, and I strongly encourage them to use their instinctual sense of whether something is working or not. I also believe therapy is a great space to practice new ways of communicating and existing in the world—unsure how to have adaptive confrontation? I will support you in confronting me in sessions to practice a new skill. I work with my clients to feel their emotions and not just think about them. I incorporate artistic and somatic practices to improve one's ability to sit with, feel, and release emotions that weigh them down.

I love empowering my clients and helping them take control of their lives. Although we may share similar experiences, only you know what it's like to be in your shoes, so you get to decide what is best for you. Hi!
