- LCSW
I am a licensed therapist in Florida and have a passion for helping people heal after traumatic events. I have extensive experience guiding clients to overcome negative experiences, build resilience, and move forward with unparalleled inner strength. I love empowering individuals to rewrite their stories and believe everyone can benefit from therapy. As social creatures, we thrive with support, and therapy can significantly enhance our success and well-being. Expression is very important to me, and I am dedicated to helping my clients gain the confidence to truly understand themselves and express their identities in ways that feel authentic to them.

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.
