Therapy is a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgment. It's a sign of strength, not weakness, to seek help, and therapy is a collaborative process aimed at finding the best strategies for you. You're not alone, and taking the first step can lead to personal growth, healing, and resilience.
Welcome! I'm a dedicated mental health professional with a passion for supporting individuals through their toughest moments. My journey began at the University of Alabama, where I honed my research skills and mentored students, laying the groundwork for a career built on knowledge and compassion. At Gracepoint Wellness, I embraced the challenge of adult emergency services, offering both individual and group therapy to those grappling with mental health and substance use issues. Similarly, at the Counseling Service Center, I provided guidance to individuals navigating court-mandated programs, covering vital topics such as domestic violence and anger management. Beyond my professional roles, I believe in giving back. Volunteering at Gracepoint Wellness and the Counseling Service Center has allowed me to offer pro bono therapy, making a difference in many lives. My commitment extends to the Florida Thoroughbred Association and Divine Province Thrift Store, where I support community initiatives. As a proud member of both the American Mental Health Counselors Association and Suncoast Mental Counselors Association, I stay connected to the latest in our field. My dedication to continuous learning is reflected in my recent certifications in crisis intervention, psychological first aid, safety administration, and life support among others. These ensure that I am equipped with cutting-edge strategies to help you navigate life's challenges. With expertise in evidence-based therapies like Trauma Focused-Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), I'm committed to finding the approach that works best for you. And rest assured, my computer literacy means your records are kept meticulously for seamless care coordination. Thank you for considering me as your partner on this journey toward wellness. Together, we'll work towards healing and resilience. Hey there!
