Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Certified Neuropsychotherapist (C-NPT) based in Florida. I earned my master’s degree from Troy University and am a certified trauma professional. I’m passionate about supporting individuals navigating depression, anxiety, and post‑traumatic stress disorder. A core part of my work is helping people understand the neurobiology behind their emotions. When clients learn how their brains function, they often discover they have far more influence over their emotional world than they ever realized. My goal is to empower each person with practical tools that foster confidence, joy, and a renewed sense of peace.
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions and then explore the specific challenges you’re facing. This helps me create a personalized plan for our follow‑up sessions. I will always follow your lead and will never push you to discuss anything before you’re ready. Think of our first meeting as gently dipping your toes into the therapy pool. You can come knowing you’ll be in a safe, comfortable, and supportive environment. Our work together is fully collaborative, and I’m always happy to answer any questions you may have along the way.
Over the past four years, I’ve had the privilege of working closely with individuals who have experienced trauma. Through our collaboration, I’ve watched so many reclaim a sense of joy, peace, and confidence in their lives. Supporting that transformation is truly the work I love.
I love working with adults who have had difficulty navigating life after trauma. My clients are eager to improve their quality of life but don't yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious and need help on their journey.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers several benefits, including helping individuals identify and change negative thought patterns, develop coping mechanisms for managing stress and difficult situations, improve emotional regulation, build self-esteem, and effectively treat mental health conditions like anxiety and depression by providing practical strategies to address challenges in a more positive way
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) primarily benefits individuals by significantly reducing symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) by helping them identify and challenge negative thoughts related to their traumatic experience, leading to improved daily functioning, reduced distress around trauma memories, and a better ability to manage emotions like anxiety, anger, guilt, and shame; essentially allowing them to reframe their understanding of the traumatic event and its impact on their life.
Psychoeducation
Psychoeducation can help people understand their mental health and develop coping strategies. It can improve their psychological wellness, increase self-awareness, and help them feel in control of their health.
Motivational Interviewing
Motivational interviewing (MI) in counseling offers several benefits, including: increasing a client's intrinsic motivation to change, fostering a collaborative relationship with the counselor, resolving ambivalence about change, enhancing self-efficacy, empowering clients to make their own decisions, and improving engagement in the therapeutic process by allowing clients to identify their own reasons for change rather than being directed by the counselor.
Mind-body approach
A mind-body approach in counseling offers several benefits, including improved emotional regulation, enhanced self-awareness, better stress management, increased resilience, a deeper understanding of the connection between thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, and the ability to address both psychological and physical symptoms holistically, potentially leading to more comprehensive healing and improved overall well-being.
