I am a Naples, FL native, and after spending almost two decades pursuing school and career opportunities away, I am thrilled to have started my private practice back on the paradise coast. One of my passions is helping people pursue their potential, while finding a deep sense of self-love and confidence. I am simply thriving most when I can assist others in feeling good about themselves. At this time, my practice works exclusively with adults and emerging adults.

I am a cognitive-behavioral therapist with an emphasis on a strengths-based and positive psychology orientation. I believe in knowing and using what you are good at to promote resiliency, and to strive to thrive rather than just reduce problems and distress. It is important in therapy to be flexible and adaptive, which is why I include a variety of effective and appropriate evidence-based practices. Therapy is both a temporal and financial investment, and it is important to me to be mindful and collaborative about the goals of therapy to make sure that we are using that time thoughtfully and expeditiously. 

My practice is based on the belief that most concerns driving us to seek help involve gaining clarity, pursuing purpose or connection, or finding peace. My job is to connect with you in a meaningful way so that we can work together to move closer to those goals. Adulting is just plain hard sometimes. We can all use a safe space with someone in our corner to help us grow skills and pursue self-knowledge, receive comfort and support, and explore and embrace who we are, while we work towards how we want to be.
