I am a licensed mental health counselor specializing in care for LGBTQ+ clients age 18+ in Florida. Clients ready to work with me are highly motivated for change and have typically engaged in previous therapy. I am passionate about helping clients embrace their true self through life transitions like coming out, getting sober, graduating from college, launching a new career, ending a relationship, or grieving a loss.

I use tools of Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Relational Cultural Therapy (RCT) to assist people in making meaningful change over time from the inside out.
I screen ALL prospective clients virtually prior to the first initial intake appointment to assess for appropriate fit.
