LMHC
Accepting Clients

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who works with adults, young adults, and adolescents who are ready to explore who they truly are.

Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Tampa, FL

About My Clients

My areas of focus are athletes & former athletes (performance, identity, burnout, transitions), anxiety & depression, trauma & complex trauma, identity exploration & life transitions, BIPOC mental health & racial stress/trauma, LGBTQIA+ affirming care (all gender identities & sexual orientations), neurodivergence, chronic pain & mind–body connection, along with self-worth, perfectionism, and people-pleasing. I work best with clients are who seeking growth, not just symptom relief.

My Background and Approach

am direct, supportive, and deeply invested in my clients’ growth. I believe therapy should be a safe and brave space — safe enough to feel supported and brave enough to be challenged. I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness-based interventions, while always tailoring therapy to the individual in front of me. My work is grounded in social justice, authenticity, and transformation. I am especially passionate about supporting athletes, BIPOC individuals, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community who may feel unseen, misunderstood, or pressured to perform, carry strength, or survive without support. At the same time, my work extends far beyond sport. I help clients unpack trauma, anxiety, depression, identity concerns, chronic pain, substance use, and the long-term impact of living in systems that were not built with them in mind.
