This is me
Clients begin their healing journey by reclaiming their hope, identifying their resiliency, and thriving beyond their struggles. Because I believe that you are the expert of your life, you can expect to be able to set your goals to help you through this process.
My clients and their families are supported in improving their outlook about themselves and the world around them while acknowledging the hurt and experiences they have endured throughout the therapeutic process.
Authenticity is practiced because I do not believe in creating a false reality with positivity that does not live in truth. I believe that creating a space where you are comfortable saying “I don’t know” or “ I don’t like…”.
One of the most important parts of our professional relationship is allowing you to feel comfortable enough to say when you are not ok.
Your sessions with me:
Professional Identity
I am licensed in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC #13412). I am also a registered telehealth provider in the state of Florida (TPMC4762). I hold a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and a certification in Child and Adolescent Psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Prior to that, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Northwestern State University of Louisiana.
I also hold the premier counseling certification as a National Certified Counselor (NCC) from The National Board for Certified Counselors, Inc. (NBCC).
I have specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and the Collaborative Assessment & Management of Suicidality (CAMS).
Prior to private practice, I worked in community agencies serving clients that were part of failing school systems, disrupted family systems, foster care systems, or the justice system (both adult and juvenile). Some of my clients have also struggled with self-harm, their internal will to live and substance misuse. I have been able to utilize my formal training and hands-on clinical experience to define my professional identity and approach.
As a mother of busy kids, a military spouse, and a career-driven individual, I have lived experiences that may resemble those of my clients, and I am able to translate those experiences into the clinical and therapeutic spaces to help my clients.
