Optum Therapists in Florida

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 20 years of experience working with adult population with issues of decreased motivation and anxiety. It is my thinking that everyone should have someone to speak to about things on their minds, both good and not great, and I will provide a confidential and safe space for this. I use various types of therapeutic interventions while engaging my clients in conversation and helping them see how they can improve in their life choices and to feel better about themselves. As humans, we all make mistakes and in making these mistake, we learn to improve ourselves. I work with Cognitive Behavioral therapeutic techniques as the way we think about things affects how we feel, which in turn affects our behaviors. I urge for self care and help my clients with feelings of low confidence. My focus is in the areas of depression and anxiety and I use a blend of evidence based techniques to make my clients feel happier with their lives and their choices. I have experience with group work and with individual therapy and will help you find what works for you throughout our time together.

My passion is rooted in working with individuals who may find themselves faced with challenges such as depression, anxiety, life transitions, as well as racial trauma. Additionally, I enjoy working with clients within the Black and POC community to help address and decrease the stigma and barriers associated with receiving mental health treatment. *in person appointments available on Tuesdays only

Life’s challenges—anxiety, depression, stress, and difficult relationships—can leave you feeling stuck. While these struggles can feel overwhelming, meaningful change is possible. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor at Nourish Within, working with teens, college students, young professionals, and adults. I specialize in eating disorders, body image concerns, trauma, and mood and anxiety challenges. My passion for this work comes from both professional training and lived experience, including my own journey with an eating disorder and depression, which allows me to approach therapy with compassion and understanding. My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, integrating CBT, ACT, DBT, ERP, and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART). ART uses guided eye movements to support trauma relief, helping the brain process distressing experiences—many clients noticing improvement in as few as one session.

I work with women navigating ADHD, anxiety, and burnout in a digitally-overloaded and fast-paced world.
