I’m a Florida Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, Board Certified-TeleMental Health Provider, and harm reduction advocate. I have several years of clinical experience serving those who hold marginalized identities, such as the BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, and TGNB communities. I use a blend of evidence-based, strength-based, race-based, and trauma-informed approaches and interventions to provide an affirming and anti-oppressive space that supports your growth and healing. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, coping with grief and loss, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
