My areas of expertise encompass anxiety, eating disorders (including anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, and OSFED), sexual health, and mindfulness. I work with individuals struggling with general life stressors, change, relationships, as well as those needing a little more direction in life.

I am also an LGBTQIA+ affirming therapist. Additionally, I am trained as a Yoga Therapy Teacher and Children's Yoga Teacher, integrating these practices with clients open to the approach. Certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), I blend evidence-based modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness skills to create personalized treatment plans. My diverse professional background includes roles in the Hillsborough County Public School System as a School Social Worker, Child Protective Services, the Public Defender's Office, dual-diagnosis treatment centers, personal training, and bariatric mental health therapy.
