As a licensed therapist in Florida, I bring over two decades of compassionate counseling experience to supporting individuals through life's most challenging transitions. My approach is deeply rooted in understanding and respecting each client's unique journey, with a special commitment to providing faith-informed, conservative-friendly therapeutic support.
My professional expertise centers on helping individuals navigate complex emotional landscapes, including depression, anxiety, grief, and self-esteem challenges. I specialize in supporting older adults and those seeking a therapeutic approach that honors traditional values and spiritual perspectives.
Drawing from years of clinical experience, I create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their emotions, develop resilient coping strategies, and cultivate meaningful personal growth. My goal is to walk alongside you, offering gentle guidance and professional support as you work through life's transitions and challenges.
I am dedicated to providing thoughtful, personalized care that respects your individual needs, beliefs, and emotional well-being. Together, we can develop strategies that empower you to move forward with confidence and hope.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
