I graduated with a Bachelor's degree from Flagler College in Psychology and Criminology in 2017. Following my passion for mental health, I pursued further education and obtained a Master's degree from the University of North Florida in Clinical Mental Health Counseling in 2021. I am also proud to hold a certification in Animal Assisted Therapy in Counseling (AAT-C).

My professional journey has equipped me with extensive experience in supporting survivors of complex trauma, substance use, and various other mental health challenges. I specialize in working with men's mental health issues and trauma, providing targeted support and understanding to address the unique challenges men face. I am certified in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), enabling me to provide specialized care to those in need.

Beyond my formal training, my dedication to continuous learning and growth in the field of mental health ensures that I am always prepared to offer the most effective and compassionate support to my clients. I believe in the transformative power of therapy and the importance of a strong therapeutic alliance.

When I am not in the counseling room, you can find me enjoying the company of my loyal dog, Kenzo, exploring the historic charm of Saint Augustine or relaxing with a good book on the beach. I believe in the importance of self-care and balance, and I find joy in nature and the simple pleasures of life.

Each great journey begins with a brave first step, and I am truly grateful you have chosen me to walk this path with you. I am committed to providing a safe, empathetic, and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings, overcome challenges, and achieve your personal goals. Let's embark on this journey together, one step at a time.
