You’re not broken, you’re navigating complex experiences that deserve care and understanding. My role is to help you process trauma, break free from old patterns, deepen intimacy, and build more authentic connections with yourself and others.

I’m a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist in Florida, Nevada, and Colorado, and a doctoral candidate. My work is rooted in a trauma-focused lens, blending EMDR, sex therapy, and systems theory to support healing of both mind and body. Clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, and collaborative, while also direct when it’s needed.

“TRAUMA IS NOT JUST AN EVENT THAT TOOK PLACE SOMETIME IN THE PAST; IT IS ALSO THE IMPRINT LEFT BY THAT EXPERIENCE ON MIND, BRAIN, AND BODY.” - BESSEL VAN DER KOLK

Using a mix of Holistic wellness with specific Western modalities from clinical research such as:

Bowen Therapy looks at how your family history and relationship patterns shape who you are today. It’s based on the idea that we’re all deeply connected to our family systems, whether we realize it or not. This approach helps you explore your emotional responses, understand generational dynamics, and cultivate more conscious ways of being present in your relationships and life.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing: is a trauma-focused therapy that helps you heal from painful experiences that feel “stuck” in the body or mind. Through bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements), EMDR helps your brain reprocess trauma so that it no longer feels overwhelming or emotionally triggering. It’s been extensively researched and is especially effective for PTSD, anxiety, and trauma-related symptoms.

Narrative therapy invites you to separate yourself from the problem and see it with fresh eyes. It’s based on the idea that we all carry stories about who we are, what we’ve been through, and what we’re capable of. This approach helps you explore how your current story formed, how it may be protecting you, and how you can re-author it in a way that feels more aligned with your truth, purpose, and power.
