For as long as she can remember, she has been intrigued by the study of psychology and the lens it has allowed her to view the world through. It is important to emphasize that she is a person driven to continue learning and maintaining a deep desire to make a meaningful impact in the lives of others. However, she recognizes that seeking help can be difficult, which is why she continuously acknowledges the courageous steps taken by her clients to work towards bettering their mental health.

 

She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Tampa and her Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology from Adler University. In working to achieve her Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology, she has spent the past three years of her career working with children, adolescents, and adults in multiple settings. She established the basis of her training within the education system, where she worked to foster the socio-emotional development of children. She eventually transitioned into diagnostic work with adults in a college counseling setting. Later, she began working as a behavioral health counselor for individuals struggling with mood, anxiety, and eating disorders in a residential treatment facility.

 

She specializes in psychodynamic therapy and uses a multicultural approach. The unique blend of psychodynamic and multicultural perspectives allows the complexities of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors to be explored through intersections of identity. However, she draws from a range of evidence-based modalities because she is passionate about tailoring the therapeutic process to fit each individual’s needs. Her specialties include mood disorders, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She believes in a collaborative therapeutic space that assists individuals in navigating complex dynamics that will aid their personal growth, resilience, and empowerment. When she is not working or studying, she enjoys reading, Pilates, FaceTiming her sisters, traveling, and watching movies.
