Get To Know Me
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I’m so glad you’re here. Life can be messy, complicated, and downright overwhelming at times, and let’s be honest—it doesn’t come with an instruction manual. That’s where I come in. My goal is to provide you with a space where you can feel safe, heard, and maybe even crack a smile as we tackle whatever brought you here.
Whether you’re here to figure out a tricky situation, deal with stress, or just make life a little more manageable, we’ll work together to create a plan that feels right for you. And while we’ll dive into the important stuff, I like to keep things real—there’s always room for honesty, understanding, and maybe a bit of humor along the way.
Feel free to ask questions, share your thoughts, or just take a deep breath and settle in. You’re in the right place, and I’m here to support you however I can.
Looking forward to working with you,

Professional Background

Education
Florida State University, Master of Social Work, Clinical Social Work, 2002
Work HistoryI began my career in social work through child welfare during graduate school, where I developed a deep understanding of the challenges faced by families navigating difficult circumstances. This early experience shaped my commitment to helping others and laid the foundation for my professional journey.
For the next two decades, I provided counseling to individuals and families in a community-based agency. Working with a diverse range of people, I gained invaluable insight into the strength and resilience that individuals bring to life’s challenges. These years gave me the privilege of walking alongside clients as they navigated grief, conflict, personal growth, and healing.
These opportunities also deepened my appreciation for the courage it takes to reach out for help and the incredible potential for change when people feel supported. Each experience has reinforced my belief in the power of connection, compassion, and a safe space to find one’s way.
