My approach is warm, collaborative, and solution-focused. I value creating a safe, inclusive space where clients feel heard and supported, emphasizing partnership in therapy. I empower clients with tools, strategies, and guidance to apply new skills in daily life, and I integrate evidence-based practices and behavioral approaches, often sharing worksheets, apps, and readings to support progress between sessions.

I offer telehealth services in Texas, Maine, and Ohio, supporting adults, teens, and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, behavioral concerns, and life transitions. Fluent in multiple languages, I tailor therapy to diverse backgrounds, helping clients build resilience and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

I believe in starting where each client is and moving at a pace that feels right. I am open, understanding, and supportive, while also willing to gently challenge unhelpful thinking when appropriate. I begin by exploring what brings a patient to therapy and understanding their current circumstances. Through a collaborative, humanistic approach, I examine both present concerns and relevant life experiences that shape today's challenges. I integrate a range of therapeutic tools and practical strategies so clients can begin building skills and finding relief right away. I have worked with trauma, LGBTQAI+ clients, chronic health concerns, anxiety, stress, sobriety from alcohol, self-esteem issues, and life transitions such as marriage, divorce, career changes, relocation, and caring for aging parents.

In the first session, I create a welcoming space to discuss challenges, goals, and personal history, reviewing confidentiality and treatment structure. Together, the patient and I develop a personalized plan. Ongoing sessions focus on exploring thoughts and feelings, identifying patterns, and practicing skills to support meaningful change, with regular goal review and reflection on progress.

I completed my internship at Seton Medical Center, gaining experience in the emergency room and specialty clinics. I have worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings and have training in DBT, CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused, and person-centered counseling.

I am authentic, realistic, and reliable, and I believe therapy should be a supportive and empowering experience. I am deeply committed to helping clients reach their maximum potential by fostering insight, resilience, and personal growth. I focus on empowering clients to take control of their lives while creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where they feel heard, respected, and supported throughout the therapeutic process.

After the initial introduction, I collaborate with clients to discuss what to expect from therapy and to establish clear goals and objectives.

My work emphasizes identifying barriers to success and examining unhelpful core beliefs, allowing patients to move toward meaningful and sustainable change. I spend the first one to two sessions gaining a clear understanding of where patients are coming from and where they would like to go. From there, I collaborate with patients to develop individualized goals, revisiting and refining them over time to support clarity, growth, and progress throughout therapy.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with experience working across a wide range of populations. I earned my master's degree in counseling psychology from National University and completed my intern hours working with adolescents in foster care and adults with severe mental illness in community-based programs. Early in my career, I served as an addictions specialist in high schools, prisons, and intensive outpatient and residential settings. Over the past four years, I have focused on mental and behavioral health in a telehealth setting, treating lower-acuity concerns such as anxiety, depression, panic, and adjustment disorders, along with trauma work using EMDR.

My style is warm, collaborative, and direct, balancing validation with gentle challenge when patterns are no longer serving the client. I prioritize transparency, autonomy, and pacing therapy in a way that feels safe, respectful, and empowering. I am trained in trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches emphasizing attachment, nervous system regulation, emotional safety, and sustainable coping skills. I understand how overwhelming it can feel to navigate mental health, medical, or recovery systems that often move faster than emotions can process.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with experience across inpatient acute psychiatric settings, inpatient substance use and addiction recovery, and outpatient care. My clinical background includes supporting individuals experiencing acute mental health crises, co-occurring disorders, and complex psychosocial stressors. I also bring firsthand experience advocating for medically complex children and their families, which informs a deep understanding of caregiver stress, medical trauma, and systems fatigue.

I begin by taking time to understand each client's story, goals, strengths, and current challenges. Early sessions focus on building trust, stabilizing where needed, and identifying patterns shaped by past experiences. Together, we develop an individualized treatment plan aligned with the client's values and readiness. Sessions may include skill-building, trauma processing, recovery support, and strengthening emotional regulation and self-awareness, with regular check-ins to ensure therapy remains collaborative and effective.

As a therapist, I work with adults and seniors navigating anxiety, depression, and the particular weight of grief and loss. Over the past 14 years, I've practiced in both inpatient and outpatient settings, and I've spent a good deal of that time alongside people facing chronic or serious medical illness, the kind of situation where the diagnosis is only part of what you're actually living with. I find that I connect best with patients who are interested in a collaborative, growth-oriented partnership. Our shared goals may include achieving breakthroughs in how you think about and approach people/situations, and building a deeper self-awareness.  

My approach leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy woven in when it fits. In practice, that means our early sessions are less about fixing and more about getting clear: I want to understand how you see yourself, where your strengths already are, and where there's genuine room to grow. I tend to be steady and practical rather than flashy, and I'll be straight with you about what I'm noticing. The insight we're after is yours, not mine, so I try to make space for you to arrive at it.

What I find rewarding is the connection itself, sitting with someone as they start to recognize what they're capable of. If any of this resonates, the beginning is simple: we talk, we get a sense of what you're up against, and we sort out the direction together from there.

‍

My style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, including our country's service men and women. My approach combines an eclectic style of cognitive-behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing techniques, and schema therapy techniques. I will tailor sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. Humor and deep insights are not incongruent to my practice or off limits! I am invested in a healthcare experience that addresses you wholistically. If you have daily hassles, life transitions, or chronic/acute health conditions that are becoming overwhelming, you are in the right place. I am interested in functional therapy that permits you to move forward. Where relevant, I can gently integrate psychospiritual issues regardless of religious background.

I am dually licensed as both a Family Therapist and Genetic Counselor with a combined 14 years of professional work experience.

My process begins with your first step to get help. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and I will support and empower that desire. I work collaboratively with your healthcare team and address your questions and needs directly. I can work on the specific challenge or need you may have and brainstorm your best starting place. While I cannot live your life or make your decisions, I can be responsive to your needs and provide the anticipatory guidance that can transform your internal dialogue or open the door that mends family divisions.

Outside of my professional life, I enjoy spending quality time with family and my two dogs. Whether hiking or relaxing by the beach, I cherish these moments of connection and tranquility.

I am a firm believer in meeting people at their own pace to accomplish their objectives at their own speed. My initial appointment is an assessment, gathering the client's background information and reason for seeking treatment, focusing on the client's own specific goals and desires for therapy, and helping the client envision what this would look like for them in order to establish a general roadmap toward their aspirations. After the first session, I concentrate on what complications exist to the client's objectives and how the client can utilize supportive tools and resources to help overcome these barriers. I then help clients establish weekly, smaller goals that can lead them to their larger-scale aspirations.

Meeting people where they are at is always my focus. I believe in the power of the relationship, to self and others, and work with each motivated individual to explore one's own unique experiences, challenge negative beliefs, and gain a deeper understanding of the mind-body connection.

I use a variety of modalities to help treat patients, including CBT, Narrative, and DBT.

I believe in a holistic approach to mental health, tailoring my treatment to foster independence, enhance coping skills, and guide clients through lifestyle changes that promote growth and healing. I utilize a well-rounded, integrative therapeutic modality, drawing on evidence-based practices to support clients in their journey towards emotional well-being.

My greatest passion is helping people make lasting change in their lives. My approach draws on both professional and personal experiences with addiction, trauma, first responders, relationships, and more. By creating a space and relationship where you feel safe, valued, and respected, I work together with you to overcome the challenges of today and build resiliency for the challenges yet to come. Therapy can be a truly transformative experience when it is built on human connection and dedication to change. I take an active approach, which includes asking tough questions while staying respectful, as well as humor and friendly conversations when appropriate. Therapy begins with building trust and a good relationship. I utilize experiences from various practice models, including Cognitive Processing Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience working in the fields of substance abuse and mental health. I have worked with clients with a large variety of concerns and backgrounds, with more experience with male and minority populations.

My therapeutic approach is client-centered and strengths-based, emphasizing collaboration and empowerment. I believe in creating a safe and supportive environment where clients can explore their concerns, gain insight, and develop skills to cope effectively with life's challenges. My clinical approach is to utilize the treatment model that best fits the unique needs of each individual. I strive to be sensitive to the various factors that might impact a person's identity, such as culture, ethnicity, disability, neurodivergence, or being part of the LGBTQ+ community. My work is informed by several different modalities, including CBT, DBT, IFS, and Mindfulness-based interventions. I have experience treating many mental health conditions such as Anxiety, Depression, Bipolar disorder, Trauma, Anger, Grief, and PTSD.

I specialize in the treatment of Insomnia Disorder, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, depression, anxiety, and trauma-related disorders.

My internships were completed in Portsmouth, OH, and my academic residencies were completed in Atlanta, GA.

My approach is eclectic, integrative, interdisciplinary, and holistic. It incorporates humanistic, family systems, lifestyle, cognitive behavioral, acceptance and commitment, mindfulness, strengths-based, and healthy attachment, as well as many other techniques into each session based on the unique needs, interests, and goals of each client. I am easily inspired and enjoy discovering each client's personal story, and I believe that working as a team with a common goal can foster personal growth, healing, health, and optimum wellbeing.

In addition to my clinical expertise, I have served as an adjunct professor and leader in clinical operations. I am committed to delivering accessible, high-quality care tailored to the unique needs of my clients.

My patients can expect warmth, kindness, and non-judgmental curiosity. I value understanding each individual deeply, while also empowering them to understand themselves. My approach emphasizes autonomy and collaboration, ensuring treatment reflects each person's own goals and journey. I build trust through reliability, honesty, and authentic care, offering a therapeutic relationship rooted in competence and gentleness. I do not seek to change minds but rather hold up a mirror, offering evidence-based approaches and tools so patients can move toward their own goals. With respect and support, I walk alongside them on their path to healing.

My process begins with a first session dedicated to diagnosis and connection, followed by collaborative treatment planning in the second session. From there, each meeting focuses on healing and growth, with attention to the eight Dimensions of Wellness: physical, emotional, social, intellectual, financial, occupational, environmental, and spiritual.

I integrate treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Focused CBT, Existential Therapy, and mindfulness techniques. In addition, I incorporate Sports Psychology in sessions where appropriate, as I believe physical activity can empower us and teach us life skills that boost self-esteem, promote team building, and aid in relaxation. These methods are proven to show reduction in anxiety and depression.

I specialize in treating PTSD among young adults, adults, and/or immigrant populations. I am also skilled in treating mental illnesses such as anxiety, depression, grief, emotional abuse, and life transitions.

Prior to becoming licensed as a psychotherapist, I was an educator in the state of Florida and New York with over 5 years of experience in the field. I am passionate about providing psychoeducation as it increases our insight into various mental health issues.

I do not see my role as a therapist as needing to "save the world" or "empower clients." Instead, I believe in working alongside clients to help them identify tools within themselves and community resources to successfully achieve their goals. The types of therapy I offer include, but are not limited to, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Culturally Sensitive Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Multicultural Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Alongside the use of evidenced-based practices and culturally informed care, I have developed a proven approach for helping clients (a) identify the root cause of their challenges and (b) create a tailored plan that leads to measurable progress.

I became a psychotherapist because I believe that mental health shapes and influences various aspects of life. Mental health is considered vital! I have been a Doctor of Social Work since 2021 and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker since 2019, with experience supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and adults with concerns such as trauma, substance abuse, intimate partner violence, depression, anxiety, PTSD, mood disorders, marital issues, and more.

I received a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University in Orlando, Florida, and established myself as a therapist working in community mental health in the Lakeland, Florida area. I spent several years working at Tri-County Human Services providing co-occurring outpatient substance abuse therapy. Later, I shifted to providing services to children through Tri-County's B-Net program and Children's Home Society. I went on to become the Clinical Supervisor at the Children's Home Society, providing care to children and adolescents impacted by trauma and the child welfare system. Before joining Talkiatry, I also served as the clinical supervisor and therapist at The Mary Welsh Foundation, providing care to individuals of all ages and specializing in trauma and family issues.

Throughout my years of experience as a therapist, I have worked with individuals dealing with a variety of mental health issues. I have worked with people of all ages and have experience working with families and couples. I have had additional training to serve individuals dealing with addictions and with processing trauma, and I have extensive experience working with individuals dealing with mood disorders and anxiety, as well as relationship and parenting issues.

I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with a strength-based, solution-focused approach, and I integrate Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques.

I have been certified as a Compassion Fatigue Educator and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional.

I received my Master's degree from the Hunter College School of Social Work in New York, and I hold clinical social work licenses in Florida, Maine, Vermont, and Wisconsin. I have held leadership and clinical roles in community mental health centers, housing programs, hospitals, and non-profit organizations. I am proficient in assisting clients to navigate transitions in all aspects of the life span.

Over the past 30 years, my experience has taught me that the most important aspect of therapy is the connection and comfort you feel with the person with whom you choose to share your personal struggles. I like to listen to what patients are telling me about what is important to them and what they would like to address in therapy. We can then start to set goals together and work towards the outcomes they want. We always go at a pace that is comfortable to the client.

I see individuals from the perspective of the various environments they interact in and how those environments impact them. I incorporate therapy from a Solution Focused perspective, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, and Attachment theory. I have also been trained in Crisis Intervention and Trauma Informed therapy. I am enthusiastic about collaborating with clients under the care of one of our psychiatric experts in order to allow for a more complete and personalized approach for each individual's needs.

I am fully licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist in multiple states, with decades of life experience supporting my 3 years of full licensure. I began my education later in life at Elgin Community College, then continued to acquire my bachelor's degree from Argosy University with honors. I went on to complete my Master's in Family Counseling at the CACREP accredited graduate school Northeastern Illinois University. My training included the externship for Emotion Focused Therapy with Dr. Sue Johnson.

My life experience and clientele have spanned all life cycles, races, and medical needs, as well as honoring all varieties of human beings. I have also supported clients through medical diagnosis and end of life, as well as grief. I bring enthusiasm for each client based on the belief that each person has unique purpose, strengths, and abilities on which to draw. The client's abilities, paired with tools and support acquired in therapy, will lead each of my clients to a life they choose to enhance.

I fully embrace whole-person care and am passionate about understanding and supporting a client's lifestyle by exploring the six pillars associated with a client's well-being: healthy eating habits, physical activity, stress management, avoidance of risky substances, restorative sleep, and social connection. This passion for lifestyle medicine stems from my personal story of living with a chronic medical condition and overcoming many challenging obstacles. My services address stress management, relational health, effective communication, and conflict resolution. I am Gottman Level One and Two trained and am a certified relationship educator. Other modalities I use include solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness coaching. My mission is to be a source of hope for my clients, while walking with them and exploring the roads that illuminate their life story.

I am a Staff Psychotherapist at Talkiatry and have been practicing in the mental health field since 2008. I studied psychology at the University of Central Florida and received my master's degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. I have worked directly with adults adjusting to life transitions related to medical issues, relationships, work, becoming a parent, and other life cycle changes.

Over the years, I have enjoyed seeing clients grow in confidence, experience new levels of peace, and start to flourish in their relationships and careers.

I believe people already carry so much of what they need within them, but sometimes life gets loud, painful, confusing, or overwhelming, and it helps to have someone work alongside you to sort through it with care. My role is to offer a space where you can feel safe enough to be honest, understood, and fully yourself.

I work with adults ages 18 and up who are navigating all kinds of challenges, whether that’s anxiety, depression, relationship stress, family pain, life transitions, burnout, grief, trauma, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of what comes next. I know how important it is to feel genuinely seen—not judged, rushed, or reduced to a problem to solve—and I try to bring that into every session.

My approach is client-centered, strength-based, and solution-focused. I draw from approaches like CBT and DBT, but more than anything, I believe therapy works best when it's real, collaborative, and human. Every person has their own story, their own strengths, and their own way forward, and I deeply respect that.

I care a lot about the people I work with and the relationships we build within the therapy space. I see therapy as a collaborative process—one where we make sense of what hurts, notice what’s getting in the way, and help you move toward a life that feels more grounded, meaningful, and true to who you are.

I provide a warm, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. I take a collaborative approach, tailoring therapy to each client's needs while integrating practical strategies for healing and growth. My sessions are focused on fostering insight, building emotional resilience, and equipping clients with tools to create lasting change. Whether working with individuals or couples, my goal is to help clients navigate life's challenges with greater clarity, connection, and confidence.

I specialize in helping couples rebuild trust after infidelity, strengthen emotional connection, and improve communication. I also support individuals facing anxiety, burnout, and the emotional impact of chronic illness, guiding them toward healing and resilience.

With over 15 years of experience, I provide compassionate, evidence-based care to individuals and couples navigating trauma, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I hold the credentials LICSW-S and PIP.

I place great importance on making treatment a unique experience for every individual, strongly believing that there is no single uniform answer to an individual's problems and that solutions should be tailored to that person's specific life circumstances. I have a foundation in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, but utilize practices as appropriate from a variety of treatment styles, including Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, Behavioral Activation, Play Therapy, and many more.

I am an experienced Licensed Independent Social Worker who has worked in a variety of clinical and non-clinical settings. My experience includes work as a case manager, mental health therapist, substance use and mental health group facilitator, a lead clinician for a school-based services program, and coordinator for adventure-based programming. This experience has allowed me to serve in a variety of settings, including schools, homes, hospitals, and outpatient clinics, as well as working with individuals from nearly every age range: anywhere from kindergarten-aged school children to adults in a nursing home and almost everywhere in between.

My approach is culturally aware, trauma informed, and client centered. I will work closely with my clients to ensure that the treatment approach and plan is thoughtful and matches what the client may need. I have primarily focused my clinical practice working with individuals who have experienced intimate partner violence, sexual assault, trauma from medical or physical health problems, substance use, and other forms of trauma. I have extended training in EMDR, TF-CBT, CBT, DBT, narrative therapy, motivational interviewing, developmental trauma, suicidality, and trauma informed care. I will encourage you to increase your awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present and to increase your personal sense of freedom and well-being. I hope to work with you to empower you and help you recognize your own strengths, with compassion for both yourself and for others.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and have worked in clinical practice for over 10 years. I received my undergraduate degree in Social Work at Colorado State University-Pueblo and my master's degree in social work from Newman University. I identify as a lifelong learner and incorporate that into my treatment approaches. Along with my clinical work, I teach undergraduate and graduate students of Social Work at the University of Colorado, Colorado Springs, because I value being able to work in my local communities to educate and teach.

I utilize a combination of approaches in working with my clients, including person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, solution focused techniques, and a variety of other techniques. I enjoy working with individuals who have co-occurring disorders, both mental health and substance use. I have experience working with a wide range of age groups and mental health issues including but not limited to depression, anxiety, trauma, stress management, grief, relationship issues, and a wide range of substance use issues. I will assess individuals' needs in their first few visits and work with them to develop an individualized treatment plan. I work to provide the empathetic listening and emotional support that my clients need to reach their goals. My dream has been to work myself out of a job, as I want to help my clients find healing and happiness.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with the Supervision Endorsement and a Licensed Independent Chemical Dependency Counselor, Clinical Supervisor Endorsement.

As a therapist, my work has given me in-depth insight into how multiple systems and important relationships can influence the course of a person's life. As a queer woman of Haitian descent, I explore different ways the intersectionality of culture, family, identity, and sexuality can impact our lives. I am fascinated by stories of vulnerability, always looking for strengths and solutions. I help people feel safe to be themselves and go from where they are to where they can be. I provide individual, couples, and family therapy, integrating Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), Solution-Focused Therapy, collaborative conversations, and systemic approaches to address LGBTQ+ issues, racial trauma, cultural identity exploration, and relational wounds.

I earned a B.S. in Psychology and Biblical Studies from Palm Beach Atlantic University, followed by my M.S. and PhD in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. In 2020, I was featured in Forbes for my study of resilience and intersecting identities in queer women of Afro-Caribbean descent. Past roles include bilingual mental health assessor, psychology instructor at Broward College, and Student Counselor at Lynn University.

Over the years in the mental health field, I have come to believe that the best approach to therapy is a collaborative process with the client to assist in achieving their goals. I have experience working with clients who are experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, grief, post-traumatic stress disorder, and other mental health concerns. My experience with modalities includes cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing, and dialectical behavioral therapy.

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York and an out-of-state telehealth provider in Florida. I received my Master of Mental Health Counseling from Alliance Graduate School of Counseling (now Alliance University). I have 9 years of experience providing client-centered individual and family therapy services to a wide variety of clients. I have worked in a variety of settings including an outpatient community clinic, in-home family therapy, treating undocumented minors with trauma history, and telehealth.

One of my main goals is to make counseling and therapy "user friendly." Many people are apprehensive about starting therapy, and from the first session I try to create an atmosphere where they feel safe and supported. My counseling style is rooted in unconditional positive regard, meaning I always approach therapy from a strength-based perspective. I treat my clients with respect, genuine care, compassion, and concern, and I work with them to create goals and find solutions that best suit their needs. I also consider myself a holistic counselor, focusing on the whole person: mind, body, and spirit. As Plato said, 'The part can never be well unless the whole is well.'

I specialize in areas such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, trauma from physical and sexual abuse, family and relationship issues, parenting problems, and LGBTQIA+ support. I also have significant experience working with the military and providing education and career counseling. My professional journey has been eclectic and wide-ranging, allowing me to work with a diverse range of populations and issues.

I am a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor with an MA, licensed in both Kentucky and Ohio, and I am also a Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider. Maya Angelou said, 'My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style.' My mission is to help you find the best way to overcome and thrive in your life.

I continue to provide psychotherapy with an eclectic, person-centered, and non-judgmental approach, offering a safe, secure, and empathetic warm environment. My clinical approach includes CBT, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic, and Trauma-Informed care. I also have experience working with the LGBT community, including relationships, intimacy issues, attachment issues, career difficulties, coaching, and compassion fatigue. As I often say, "The world can be a scary, cold, and insensitive place, and there is a lot of uncertainty going around, but together we can get through it." Although I am part of the BIPOC community, I welcome all races, creeds, and religions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, licensed in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware, and I have been a Social Worker since 2001. I completed my B.S. in Science with a major in Criminal Justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in 1992. I then worked as a Correction Counselor with the NYC Department of Corrections for a few years, working with female inmates who had substance abuse problems and with adolescents, facilitating treatment recovery groups and psychoeducation. In 1998, I began working with the Administration for Children Services while pursuing my Master's Degree at Hunter College School of Social Work, where I graduated in 2001 with my MSW. For 19 years I worked as a Discharge Planner in a hospital while attending Metropolitan Institute for Mental Health to study in the Adult Psychoanalytic Division. In 2012, I switched gears and began working as a Behavioral Health Care Manager, while also starting my own private practice, called "Live the Life you Want," because I strongly believe that all individuals should live their own lives the way they want to and desire. In 2022, I received a two-year certificate in Integrated Trauma from the Institute for Contemporary Psychotherapy, where I received training in EMDR and Somatic Experiencing, and I am currently working toward a certification as an Accelerated Experiential Psychodynamic Psychotherapist, an experiential model that seeks to alleviate patients' psychological suffering by helping them process the overwhelming emotions associated with trauma, depression, and anxiety. I have been in the mental health field for over 30 years.

I create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where patients are heard and validated, without needing to apologize for their pain or emotions. My therapeutic approach is collaborative: you actively work together with me to achieve your mental health goals, with progress reflecting the effort you put in. I begin by understanding your personal history to see how past experiences shape current behaviors and perspectives. Initial sessions focus on setting goals and identifying obstacles, followed by working together to overcome challenges and achieve those goals. This space encourages patients to express themselves authentically.

I earned my Bachelor's in Social Work from Augusta University and my Master's in Social Work from Barry University. I have extensive experience working with adults in inpatient and outpatient mental health and substance use settings, as well as in residential treatment for eating disorders.

I create a supportive and conversational environment where clients feel heard and respected. I strongly advocate for each client's well-being and work to empower them to take control of their symptoms. Open communication is central to my approach, and I believe therapy is most effective when clients and counselor collaborate to set clear, achievable goals together. Trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based approaches, I tailor treatment to meet the unique needs of each individual.

In the first session, I introduce coping skills rooted in CBT to provide immediate support. I partner with clients to identify their concerns and build individualized treatment plans that fit their lives. Throughout therapy, I guide clients in restructuring unhelpful thoughts, balancing emotions with rationality, and practicing new skills. My ultimate goal is to equip clients with tools they can confidently use long after therapy ends.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas, practicing since 2020. I bring diverse experience from working in jails, behavioral health hospitals, and private clinics, which allows me to understand and support clients from many different backgrounds.

I believe in tailoring interventions to each client's unique needs, fostering resilience and self-efficacy in their journey toward healing. My work spans multiple roles across inpatient and outpatient settings, with a strong focus on individuals facing substance use, domestic violence, and co-occurring conditions.

I hold an MSW from Louisiana State University and licensure in multiple states. At Lower Key Medical Center, I served as an inpatient social worker and the Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) coordinator, where I provided crisis intervention, therapy, and groups. In my role as IOP coordinator, I managed IOP tracks, ensuring patients received comprehensive psychotherapeutic support via group and individual therapy. Previously, my work at the Guidance/Care Center molded my expertise in crisis response, relapse prevention, and intensive therapeutic interventions across various settings. My work as a Clinical Counselor at the Children's Home Society, working closely with parents involved in the child welfare system and providing therapy and court-informed treatment recommendations, further solidified this knowledge.

I provide a structured, compassionate, and collaborative approach to care. I believe in meeting patients where they are while offering practical tools that create meaningful change. I emphasize accountability, skill-building, and measurable progress, particularly in treating addiction, OCD, anxiety, and trauma-related concerns. I begin with a comprehensive assessment to clarify goals and develop an individualized treatment plan, integrating evidence-based modalities such as CBT, ERP, and trauma-focused therapies, with ongoing evaluation of progress. Treatment includes clear goal setting, skill practice between sessions, and coordinated care when appropriate.

I value a person-centered and conversational approach to therapy, focusing on individual growth and meaningful change. I tailor my work to each patient's goals, ensuring that therapy aligns with their unique needs and values. My goal is to create a collaborative environment where patients feel comfortable exploring their challenges and empowered to make positive changes in their lives. I begin by exploring each patient's goals and expectations of therapy, emphasizing the importance of creating a safe, authentic space. I collaborate with patients to develop a personalized treatment plan, drawing from various therapeutic approaches to best support their individual needs and objectives. My process is flexible and adaptive, ensuring care that is both effective and deeply personal.
