ABOUT
MY WHY
I BECAME A THERAPIST BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN THE TRANSFORMATIVE POWER OF UNDERSTANDING & CONNECTION.
With a culturally diverse background and specialized training in trauma and anxiety therapy, I am committed to helping you navigate life's transitions, set healthy boundaries, and achieve emotional well-being. Together, we will create a therapeutic journey that is as unique as you are.
I graduated from the University of South Florida with a major in Psychology and a minor in Biomedical Sciences and I received my Master’s Degree in Mental Health Counseling & Rehabilitation from the University of South Florida. With a life-long love of learning, I continually enrich my knowledge of psychology and therapeutic tools.
I have over 10 years of experience working with adolescents, young adults, and adults across the lifespan in various therapeutic settings, including inpatient, partial hospitalization programs, court-mandated services, outpatient services, academy settings, and community settings.
I specialize in anxiety and trauma with young adults. My approach to therapy is integrative, combining a holistic perspective with evidence-based treatments tailored to your specific concerns and incorporating all aspects of yourself.
OUTSIDE
OF THERAPY
I am your typical millennial that grew up in Europe watching Formula 1 and listening to Spice Girls and EDM. I love to explore new coffee shops, go to markets, love being outdoors, hanging out with my dogs, husband or family and friends. I enjoy arts and crafts and sometimes I just like being a homebody and binge watching my current fixation.
