About My Clients

We might be a good fit if you've ever felt like it isn't alright to be who you are. Maybe you have done all the "right" things in your life but still feel dissatisfied, unsettled, untethered, overwhelmed. You've followed society's instructions but doing so maybe wasn't really you being you. What if you could show up in life as who you really are? Can you imagine the freedom that would come with being yourself? This is possible, even if it doesn't feel like if right now. You, authentic, connected

My Background and Approach

I meet each person where they are, without judgment. I am holistic, meaning that I look at all the parts of you, including body, mind, spirit, energy, and emotions, and we work with all of this in session. I am engaged in my own personal healing work so when you work with me you know I am also walking the talk. Together we will work to do the healing work that will set you up with deeper authenticity, healing and wholeness. I am a licensed marriage and family therapist and a sex therapist in Florida. I have also just completed doctoral work in psychology.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I believe wholeheartedly in the amazing potential of each human being. It is my passion to help you reach your potential, live your best life, have your most fulfilling relationships and connections. I believe in the importance of love and connection. We are social beings. The fact that we love and connect is more important than how and who we love. I am accepting of all of the different ways people love and connect with each other consensually. I believe that almost everyone can benefit from therapy at some point in their lives. Sometimes, people get stuck. Relationships sometimes need a refresher or hit a rocky road. Sometimes, something from the past comes along and bites us or we have a new piece of insight that we don’t quite know what to do with. Therapy is a safe place to explore any of these things and many more. I believe in the value of authenticity – knowing who you truly are and acting from a place of personal truth.
