What would be important for someone to know about working with you?
Although I have over 20 years of social work experience, I use real-world, life experiences to treatment. I mainly speak from the heart versus a textbook.

Education
Barry University, Trauma-Informed Care for Males with Eating Disorders and Trauma, 2025
Work HistoryI have been a social worker for more than 20 years, providing compassionate, evidence-based care across diverse settings. Throughout my career, I have delivered psychotherapy, crisis intervention, substance use treatment, and victim advocacy services to children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. This breadth of experience has shaped a holistic, trauma-informed approach that honors each person’s unique story and strengths.
Today, I am a psychotherapist in private practice, where I specialize in working with individuals navigating eating disorders, trauma and PTSD, mood disorders, life transitions, and grief and loss. My work is grounded in collaboration, respect, and a deep commitment to helping clients build meaningful, sustainable change.
