Our Stories
We choose this work because we believe change happens best in connection. Our education and training are rooted in learning how to walk alongside people as they seek what they most want for themselves. We focus on listening deeply, honoring each person’s lived experience, and supporting movement that reflects what they most want in their lives—not someone else’s expectations.

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate and a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist Associate, and a graduate of the University of Central Florida's College of Community Innovation and Education with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.
My work draws from multiple theoretical orientations with my primary therapeutic structure revolving around NARM (Neuroaffective Relational Model) trauma-informed principles, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I see each person as the culmination of all the unique experiences that came before their time in the office with me and I pride myself in working with clients where they are at and collaborating with them on accomplishing their goals.
I’m guided by the belief that our unique experiences and our responses to them are the most important determinants to how our lives will go. I am not a believer in someone choosing the “wrong” path or making the “wrong” choices, these choices or paths are simply “our” choices or paths and the way we respond to the consequences they create have led us to where we are today.
One of my dreams is to eventually open my own addictions treatment facility to continue my work towards helping those who are notoriously stigmatized and underserved while furthering my ability to mentor and support newly-minted clinicians.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist, and a graduate of Fordham University’s Graduate School of Social Services.
In my work, I draw from trauma-informed, evidence-based approaches including the NeuroAffective Relational Model (NARM), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Havening Techniques. I tailor therapy to each person, meeting them where they are and supporting what they want for themselves.
I also enjoy supporting the growth of other clinicians through supervision and mentorship, and I value blending education, clinical skill, and genuine compassion in the work.
I’m guided by a belief that healing happens through experience and relationship. One of my dreams is to open a donkey sanctuary that could be incorporated into therapy—creating a grounded, calming space that supports connection, regulation, and self-awareness.
