I enjoy assisting clients with getting started on their therapy journey, advocating for yourself can be difficult and i'm proud of our clients that reach out for help and guidance. I will be there to help with any questions/concerns you have about starting your wellness journey. Some of my hobbies include photography, fishing, and my family loves spending time at Disneyland.

What is the greatest thing about working in the mental health field?

Feeling like i'm making a difference in the current mental health crisis. Helping clients establish care that gives them the tools to live a better life.

I'm a Florida Native who received their Bachelor's in Psychology with a minor in Social Welfare at the University of North Florida. I am currently working towards my Master's in Social Work at Florida State University with the hopes of being a therapist in the near future. I believe mental health is very important and everyone should have access to care no matter where you are at in life. I enjoy helping others and making sure they feel heard and valued as individuals. I started off as an intern at Healing Solutions Family Therapy Center and have been given the opportunity to work with their Medication Management team to help bridge the gap for client's seeking services from our Psychiatric Nurse Practitioners. I am able to help schedule appointments, relay messages to the client's nurse practitioners, connect them to their appointments, and offer any other assistance they may need.
