As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring over two decades of compassionate, culturally responsive counseling experience. My practice centers on supporting individuals through complex life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth. I specialize in addressing depression, anxiety, stress management, and family dynamics with a deep understanding of multicultural experiences.
My approach honors each client's unique journey, whether they're navigating military-related challenges, relationship transitions, body image concerns, or seeking support through significant life changes. I'm committed to creating a supportive, affirming space that respects individual experiences and promotes healing across diverse backgrounds.
Drawing from extensive clinical expertise, I offer empathetic guidance to help clients develop stronger communication skills, rebuild self-esteem, and cultivate healthier relationship patterns. My work is grounded in understanding the intricate ways personal experiences shape our emotional landscapes.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
