Get To Know Me
What was your path to becoming a therapist? What inspired you to choose this profession?
I began my career in corporate learning and development, helping professionals build skills and grow in their roles. But as I worked closely with people, I saw recurring patterns — challenges that weren't just about work performance but rooted in deeper emotional and personal struggles. Those observations ignited a fascination with human thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and a desire to offer more than temporary solutions. I wanted to provide real, lasting support that helps people heal, grow, and thrive in all areas of life. This led me to transition into counseling, where I now help motivated adults navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationships, self-esteem, stress, and professional effectiveness. Using a collaborative, CBT-focused approach, we build practical skills for deeper awareness and meaningful, long-term change. My background in corporate settings gives me a unique understanding of how personal and professional lives intersect — and I'm passionate about helping you find balance and confidence in both. If you're ready for that deeper level of support, reach out — let's start your journey.
In what ways does your personality influence your approach to therapy?
My therapeutic style is deeply influenced by who I am at my core: a personable, solutions-driven person who genuinely enjoys connecting with people and helping them move forward. I strive to create a space where you feel immediately comfortable, truly valued, and genuinely motivated to grow. Sessions with me are warm and approachable — I bring an energetic, positive presence that helps lighten the weight of what you're carrying, while staying firmly grounded in reality and practical steps. I'm optimistic about your capacity for change because I've seen it happen time and again, but I'm also realistic: meaningful growth rarely comes from insight alone. That's why I emphasize action — together, we identify clear, tangible steps you can take to shift patterns, build skills, and create the life you truly want. Above everything, I care deeply about your well-being. My goal isn't just to help you feel better in the moment, but to empower you with the tools, perspectives, and confidence needed for lasting fulfillment — whether that's managing anxiety, rebuilding self-esteem, navigating relationships, or finding balance in your professional life. Therapy with me feels like a genuine partnership: supportive, encouraging, and focused on real progress. If you're ready for that kind of collaborative, uplifting support, I'm here for you.

Work HistoryWith over two decades of dedicated experience in mental health and counseling, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado, and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). My journey in this field has spanned a wide range of therapeutic settings — from private practice and behavioral health institutions to clinical leadership roles — giving me a well-rounded, versatile perspective on supporting individuals through life's challenges. I earned my Master of Education in Counseling & Development from Winthrop University, building on my Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a Minor in Dance from Lander University. These foundations have shaped my holistic view of personal growth, blending emotional insight with practical, strengths-based strategies. Throughout my career, I've held diverse roles in therapy, intervention services, and leadership, which have deepened my ability to tailor support to each person's unique needs. Whether working one-on-one in private practice or guiding teams in institutional settings, I've consistently focused on creating compassionate, non-judgmental spaces where clients feel truly heard and empowered. My multi-state licensure reflects my commitment to accessibility and broad expertise, allowing me to serve adults across Florida and Colorado (primarily via telehealth). I bring this depth of experience to every session, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction, relationship issues, stress, self-esteem, and life transitions with personalized, goal-oriented care rooted in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). If you're ready to build resilience, gain clarity, and move toward a more balanced, fulfilling life, I'm honored to partner with you. Reach out — let's begin your journey together.
