My vision for therapy is that everyone should have access to connective and individualized care. While embarking the field for almost a decade, my years of experience have focused on a person-centered approach. I have various skills and training to include EMDR Therapy, Trauma-Focused Care, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Child Centered and Filial Play Therapy, Adverse Childhood Experiences and Youth Resiliency training, Attachment and trauma, and Suicide Intervention Training. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (Virginia) and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (Florida). I am a Registered Play Therapist through the Association of Play Therapy and a Certified EMDR Therapist through the EMDR International Association. I am also a Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) provider and Certified Autplay Therapist. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Developmental Psychology from the University of Pittsburgh’s School of Education and a Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling from Grand Canyon University. I not only help motivate and build clients, I believe in motivating and building therapists as a Licensure Clinical Supervisor, Adjunct Professor, and EMDR Consultant. I believe counseling can be a fun and empowering journey and am excited to help facilitate that with others!

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I am dedicated to providing trauma-informed care and utilizing techniques to help individuals unlock their fullest potential and navigate life's challenges. I believe in the innate capacity for growth and change within each person and view therapy as a powerful tool for facilitating this process. In my practice, I prioritize creating a safe and open environment where clients feel empowered to share their experiences. Central to my approach is the cultivation of empathy and understanding, which I believe are fundamental to effective therapy. I am committed to building strong therapeutic relationships with my clients based on trust and mutual respect.

I am trained in EMDR and other evidence-based practices, and my therapeutic approach is flexible and tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual. I have a Master's in Social Work from the University of Utah and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have years of experience using a diverse array of techniques and modalities to support clients in exploring their thoughts and emotions, identifying strengths, and developing practical strategies for personal growth. Whether you are seeking support for trauma recovery, navigating life transitions, or striving to achieve personal goals, I am here to collaborate with you on your journey toward greater well-being and fulfillment. 

I have a passion for facilitating positive change and empowering individuals on their mental health journey. My clinical experience is rooted in providing support for anxiety and depression, trauma, and substance abuse. I have had the privilege of working with diverse populations, including adults, adolescents, and members of the LGBTQIA+ community. Drawing from evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, and Mindfulness, I believe in the power of a collaborative counseling process. Each individual is unique, and I am dedicated to tailoring my approach to meet the specific needs of every client. I hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of South Florida and a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida. My ultimate goal is to create a safe and inclusive space where clients can explore their challenges, discover their strengths, and work towards achieving their personal goals. I am a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (FL) under the clinical supervision of Renata Huewitt, LPC, LMHC, RPT and Kathrina Cann, LMHC
