Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern
My interest in counseling began as I earned a Bachelor’s of Science in Psychology from the University of Florida. Post-undergraduate studies, I ventured into the workforce as a case manager, providing services and opportunities to some of the most vulnerable families within the community. After a few years, I completed a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida with a focus in CBT, Play Therapy, Family Systems and Trauma. My clinical approach is to provide a safe space to be your authentic self when expressing your deepest emotions and feelings. Fundamentally, I also believe that humans are inherently resilient in nature and has the ability to overcome life’s challenges with the support of others. And as you stand in your truth, I will tend to you with an unbiased heart.

You don’t have to be positive all the time. It’s perfectly okay to feel sad, angry, annoyed, frustrated, scared and anxious. Having feelings doesn’t make you a negative person. It makes you human
