I am here to welcome you with open arms as we begin this journey together. With more than 14 years of experience as a licensed therapist in Florida.

My greatest joy lies in creating a sanctuary where you can feel completely at ease expressing yourself, knowing that you are embraced with warmth and understanding, free from any worry of judgment.
My academic journey led me to earn a master’s degree in social work from Southern Illinois University and a master’s in teaching from Aurora University in Illinois. These experiences have equipped me with a rich understanding of human behavior and a deep appreciation for the complexities of the human experience. Trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I’m passionate about offering transformative tools that empower individuals to navigate life’s challenges with resilience and grace.

In our sessions, I prioritize creating a compassionate environment where self-discovery and growth can flourish. Drawing from approaches like client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing, we’ll tailor our work to suit your unique needs and preferences. Whether you’re grappling with stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, depression, or any other issue, rest assured that you’re not alone. Together, we’ll explore your strengths and develop strategies to help you navigate life’s ups and downs with resilience and self-compassion.

In my practice, I view each client through a multicultural lens, honoring and celebrating the diverse backgrounds and experiences that shape who they are. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of walking alongside clients from various cultural backgrounds, fostering deep connections and witnessing profound transformations on their therapeutic journeys.

I embrace self-compassion in my daily life, welcoming all my feelings and embracing every facet of who I am – the highs and the lows alike. I’ve come to understand that mistakes are simply steppingstones on the path of growth and learning, and I’m wholeheartedly dedicated to evolving into the most authentic version of myself.

Here are some fun tidbits about me: I hail from the vibrant Chicagoland area! When I’m not busy, you can find me sweating it out at the gym, basking in the sun at the beach, or cherishing moments with my beloved family – including my furry friend Taylor – and my cherished circle of friends.
