About My Clients

Individual Therapy for Women: Have you ever said “ I will never drink/use again” only to find yourself hours later drinking and/or using? Do you feel isolated, alone & misunderstood? Do you find yourself stuck in the same patterns of behavior and unable to break free? I have dedicated my professional career to supporting adult women struggling with alcohol use, anxiety, low self-worth, and life transitions. I’m so glad you've taken the courageous step of being here.

My Background and Approach

I use an eclectic person-centered approach to therapy. We are all unique and one-size doesn't always fit all. I work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based approach and I draw from Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, CBT, Positive Psychology and continue to pursue training in order to provide the best possible experience for my clients.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

My goal is to instill a sense of hope that change is possible and to support individuals seeking solutions to their challenges. It is never too late to make a decision to change your life and it is my honor and privilege to serve as a guide throughout your journey. I consider myself lucky to have been given the opportunity to live in Africa, Brazil, and France. Having been exposed to such vastly different cultures, religions and languages, I found myself drawn to and fascinated by the study of human behavior and the role that culture plays in day to day interactions. In an effort to learn more, I received my Bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Anthropology from Boston University. After taking a detour from my true passion, I made the decision to go back to graduate school and obtained my Master’s in Science with a dual specialization in Clinical Mental Health Counseling & Marriage, Couple, Family Counseling and Therapy from Barry University located in Miami, FL.
