At Surfside Counseling of SWFL, I believe therapy is far more than a place to vent—it's where you gain the clarity and tools to transform your life. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), I specialize in walking alongside individuals who have carried heavy weights with quiet grace. I work with clients navigating substance abuse, trauma, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and ADHD in both inpatient and outpatient settings. My approach is deeply collaborative, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Existentialism, Feminist Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing, while incorporating Mindfulness and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT).

I am particularly passionate about creating affirming spaces for those who feel 'othered' by the world—whether as members of the LGBTQIA+ community, individuals navigating marginalized spaces, or those whose brains process life differently. My ideal clients are resilient and capable individuals who have reached a point where 'just getting by' has become exhausting. They seek a collaborative partner, not a passive observer, to help untangle the complexities of a life that feels like a marathon. At Surfside Counseling, you don't have to have all the answers or 'perform' wellness—you can simply be you, at a pace that feels entirely safe.
