About My Clients
I work with adults and adolescents that may be struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, ADHD, or relationship problems. During initial sessions we will explore your strengths and resiliency and develop your goals. I can help you gain purpose, perspective and clarity, and teach you coping skills to manage your symptoms. Most of my clients see improvement within the first month!
My Background and Approach
I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida. I provide a safe space for virtual therapy and you may click on Headway link to schedule a session immediately. My approach is compassionate, open-minded, collaborative, and strength-based. I tailor therapy to your individual needs using evidence-based methods such as CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Strength-Based Therapy. I help clients build resilience, increase self-awareness, and create meaningful and lasting change. In our first session, we’ll talk about what’s been happening, determine what support feels most helpful, and discuss the goals you’d like to work toward. There is no pressure to have everything figured out—we’ll begin wherever you are. I believe that YOU are the expert of your own life and my approach focuses on your strengths and resiliency. Our time together is a supportive space where you can heal, regain gain perspective and self-awareness and move forward to a better life with peace and clarity.
My Personal Beliefs and Interests
I am accepting clients from age 12 and up. I have worked with clients across the lifespan and from diverse backgrounds, and I strive to create a space where nothing feels surprising or too difficult to talk about. I bring a wide range of life and clinical experiences into my work, including my own personal challenges, which have deepened my empathy and understanding of the human experience. I am an expert in grief therapy and particularly loss by suicide. I am the co-founder for the Tampa Bay Chapter for the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention (AFSP) and this organization is very close to my heart. I have almost 10 year experience working with hospice and palliative care patients and their families. I also have over 20 years experience working with children. I look forward to walking with you through this journey and helping you overcome your struggles and help you live your life to it's fullest potential!
