Licensed Therapist: Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist

What problem do you strive to overcome? Starting therapy can feel intimidating and overwhelming. Many people come in feeling unsure of where to begin, worried they should already have answers, or wondering if therapy will even help. When life feels heavy, taking that first step can feel like too much.

I take a collaborative, holistic, and client-centered approach to therapy. I meet you exactly where you are—without pressure, judgment, or expectations to have it all figured out. My work is grounded in empathy, flexibility, and an understanding that everyone’s journey looks different.

My goal is to create a safe, welcoming, and supportive space where you feel seen, heard, and understood. Together, we focus on building insight, resilience, and meaningful change that feels sustainable and aligned with your life.

Experience: I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in the Tampa area since 2020. I earned my Master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from National Louis University and my Bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida. My professional experience includes outpatient therapy, school-based services, community and homeless outreach, inpatient psychiatric care, and work with abused and neglected children. These diverse settings have shaped my trauma-informed, relational, and culturally responsive approach.

Client Focus: Individual and group therapy including teens (13+), Couples, and Families

Types of Therapy: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care

Issues: Anxiety, Depression, Life Transitions, Trauma

Specialities: Family dynamics, Identity exploration, Relationship stress, Adjustment challenges

More than just my work: My favorite color is turquoise blue, which fits my love for water (even though I can’t swim).

Traveling is my favorite way to reset and gain new perspective.

And in my next life, I’ll be a youth basketball coach—cheering people on, teaching confidence, and reminding them of their potential 🏀
