Life is beautiful and messy. I offer a warm, welcoming, and open setting with zero judgment. You are safe here. I believe we all have the ability inside ourselves to make the changes we want in our lives. If you are seeking a person-centered therapist to help you navigate change, recognize your pain, hear your voice, hold you accountable, and truly see you, I am here to walk through this process and build a connection with you. My distinctive skills as an experienced business professional and therapist provide a unique perspective.
A long-time resident of Orlando, I have many years of experience working in Central Florida. I have a Bachelor of Science from Florida State University and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Rollins College. I am a proud ally and active advocate of the LGBTQ+ community. I am trained in areas such as multicultural counseling, couples counseling, career and lifestyle transitions, social justice, and human sexuality. I am a member of the Mental Health Counselors of Central Florida, the Florida Mental Health Counselors Association, and the American Counseling Association.
With a dual career, I am a decades-long corporate and agency executive in brand, marketing, and sales in various industries such as finance, sports, restaurants, life sciences, and real estate. While practicing as a mental health therapist for individual adults and couples, I am also the CMO and principal of a marketing agency.

Approach

Couch in a brightly lit modern therapy space.
I approach individual and couples therapy for adults from highly relational and systemic perspectives.
Families are systems. Cultures are systems. Workplaces are systems. And so on. We do not travel out of one system and into another. We bring systems with us as part of who we are. Picture us with invisible briefcases and backpacks carrying around the “stuff" from our systems. Together, we will explore who you are and discover insights that help you as an individual and within your relationships. As an integrated therapist, I will employ approaches that are personalized. We will collaborate and navigate life transitions, grief and loss, relationship issues, anxiety, self-exploration and more.
AS A STRENGTH-BASED THERAPIST WITH AN INTEGRATED APPROACH, I PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FUNDAMENTALS, SUCH AS:
SLEEP
Nutrition
Movement
Self-Care

Self–Care

I believe self-awareness and connecting to our feelings are imperative to the therapeutic process. One size does not fit all. You are unique, and I will tailor your therapeutic relationship to your needs, not mine.

I am here to help you. I will listen deeply and provide good care. You and I will be a team. In time, you will recognize your strengths and make the changes you seek. I believe this because I see it happen daily with people like you. You are not alone.

PAUSE

Life is messy and beautiful. Sometimes we fluctuate between these two conditions faster than we would like. In between the moments are opportunities to pause. To feel inside our bodies, taking the cues of what is happening, and paying attention.

It is inside the pause where the magic happens: We can choose a different response when we are upset. Soak in a moment when we are hurrying through joy. Improve a relationship. Stare at nature. Go for a walk. Listen to that song one more time. Sit with our grief. Explore a career change. Understand ourselves more deeply.

When we are moving quickly, we can miss making a deliberate choice because our habitual reactions overtake our ability to choose a more careful response. It takes a surprising amount of self-awareness to notice an automatic pattern in relationships and make some space before reacting and choose a different response. I can help you do this.
