Intro

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida who specializes in working with folks who have a history of trauma. (And in today's world, that includes most of us).  Trauma comes from many sources (sadly sometimes even from those we love).  Unresolved trauma tends to creep into our relationships, how we function in our various roles, even in how we view ourselves in the world. My therapeutic approach is person-centered and I primarily use cognitive behavioral therapy. Trauma resolution is a journey worth taking, and I'm always honored to be a part of it with a client.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I have family, friends, and many clients over the years who are neurodivergent or on the spectrum. I'm thrilled to be a part of Prosper Health's mission in bringing therapeutic services to this underserved population.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I believe our society has often taught folks to "fit in", which leads to masking and ultimately anxiety/depression/anger.    An important role of a therapist is to help clients embrace who they are, and helping them identify their many strengths is a big part of that.
