I have a passion for supporting individuals by encouraging changes, healing, and empowerment. I have had the fantastic opportunity to practice as a mental health therapist and share my expertise by delivering educational services in Palm Beach County for over six years. I received a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from South University, and I currently hold a Master of Science in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I am currently completing an EdD with an emphasis in Behavioral Health at Grand Canyon University. I have experience working with children and families, adolescents, adults, couples, and groups. My approaches to therapy are client-centered, solution-focused, humanistic, and strengths-based. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, domestic violence, promoting maternal mental health during pregnancy, cultural bias, racial equity, child abuse and neglect, Motivational Interviewing, Brazelton Touchpoints, Infant Mental Health Levels 1 & 2, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR trained therapist), Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), and I am dialectical behavior therapy informed.  I have experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma and abuse, anxiety, depression, stress, and co-occurring disorders. I have also worked with clients dealing with single parenthood, partner relational conflict, childhood and generational trauma, grief, and loss issues. I specialize in child-parent/family issues and domestic abuse (intimate partner violence).  I believe that it is essential to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. As a nation, we must work towards reducing the stigma around mental health and mental illness so that we can begin to break generational trauma.

I have been a relational therapist for many years. We all face challenges and joys and I am no stranger to either. My road to therapy began about 15 years ago after experiencing my own trauma and grief. I was left feeling stuck on repeat and I needed to take back my power. Finding my way to the other side, my best side, was to learn and develop the tools to support others. I lean into supporting mothers and caregivers as it isn't always easy or predictable. My special education background lends me to advocate for children and families in the home and in the community. I love to support and make a plan for blended families. And my desire is to help couples and intimate partners find fulfillment and connection.

I work with women navigating ADHD, anxiety, and burnout in a digitally-overloaded and fast-paced world. Since 2011, I’ve been providing practical, evidence-based support to individuals looking for ways to feel more grounded, calm, and in control of their daily lives. If you feel exhausted trying to care for both yourself and others and overwhelmed trying to complete your never-ending to-do list, I can help you find the insight, routines, and skills needed for the balance you deserve. My approach is feminist at its core and is also LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and HAES-affirming and culturally responsive. I integrate mind-body, cognitive-behavioral, and attachment-based techniques and skills for change. I provide virtual therapy to California, Oregon, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, and Florida. I take Aetna, Optum, Carelon, and BCBS of Massachusetts insurance plans and provide superbills for out-of-network reimbursement. I look forward to connecting with you!
