About
A counselor who sees you, not just your diagnosis.
I earned my Master's degree and spent years refining my clinical skills so that every session is both professionally sound and deeply human. My practice in Florence is built on the conviction that lasting change happens when clients feel genuinely heard — not judged, not rushed, and never reduced to a label.
I work with adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and the kind of life transitions that leave anyone feeling unmoored. Whether you are navigating a crisis or simply want to understand yourself better, you will find a steady, supportive presence here.

My Approach
Therapy that meets you where you are
I draw from several evidence-based modalities — Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, trauma-informed techniques, and solution-focused strategies — and I choose what fits you, not the other way around.

Evidence-Based
Every technique I use is grounded in research and proven to create real, lasting change.

You are the expert on your life. I am here to guide, not to dictate — together we set the pace.
03
Culturally Aware
Your background, identity, and experiences shape how you see the world. I honor all of that in our work together.
04
Confidential & Safe
What we discuss stays between us. You will always feel respected, never rushed, and never minimized.
