“All of us, at some time or other, need help. Whether we’re giving or receiving help, each one of us has something valuable to bring to this world.” - Fred Rogers
If there are just two things I would want to share with my clients, it’s the above observation from Mister Rogers and my belief that asking for help is an act of courage. Life inevitably presents us with challenges, and we won’t always know how to respond. As a therapist, I aim to meet you where you are, help you uncover and rediscover your strengths, and empower you to thrive.
I earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2016 from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. The program’s emphasis on multiculturalism and social justice helped develop my view that to be a therapist is to be an advocate for one’s clients, as well as igniting my passion about equitable access to mental health care. I had the privilege of completing my practicum and internship at the BETA Center, a high school in Orlando for pregnant teens and teen mothers, during the 2015-2016 school year. Since then, I have worked with children, adolescents, and adults in a variety of settings and levels of care, from in-home and in-school services to residential treatment facilities, and have provided individual, family, and group therapy.
I specialize in supporting adolescents and young adults with eating disorders, as well as navigating anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and self-esteem issues. I am also an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. Whatever it is that brings you to Abundant Life Partners, I am here to provide a safe, non-judgmental space if you need help processing your emotions, developing a broader set of coping skills, or just need someone to listen.
