Doctoral-level trained, down-to-earth, trauma-informed, neurodivergent psychotherapist
Lantana, Florida

I am a neurodivergent, trauma-informed psychotherapist dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate space where healing can unfold at your pace. I specialize in treating eating disorders, trauma, grief and loss, mood disorders, and life transitions, understanding how deeply these experiences can shape one’s sense of self and relationships. My approach is warm, empathic, and person-centered, grounded in respect for your lived experience and innate resilience. I believe therapy is a collaborative process—one that honors your strengths while gently exploring the patterns that may be keeping you stuck. My goal is to walk alongside you with authenticity and care as you move toward greater clarity, stability, and meaningful change.

Approach to Therapy

My approach to psychotherapy is trauma-informed, gender-responsive, and grounded in deep respect for the client’s lived experience. I view therapy as a collaborative partnership built on mutuality, transparency, and trust. Healing unfolds within a safe, attuned relationship where power is shared and each client’s voice is honored. As a psychotherapist with lived, real-world experience, I integrate clinical insight with authenticity and humility. My work is informed by doctoral-level training and guided by evidence-based treatments, thoughtfully tailored to the unique needs, identities, and goals of each individual. Together, we create a therapeutic process that is compassionate, empowering, and grounded in both science and humanity.
