I became a therapist because I believe in the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of authentic connection. From a young age, I’ve been drawn to people’s stories, struggles, dreams, and the strength they find to keep going through pain and uncertainty. I chose this path because I want to walk alongside others as they navigate life’s difficulties and discover purpose and meaning in their lives. What inspires me most are the powerful moments of growth that can happen in therapy, when someone begins to believe in their worth again, when patterns start to shift, or when a long-held burden begins to feel a little lighter. Being a therapist allows me to hold space for those moments and guide the process of healing and change. To me, therapy isn’t about labeling people as broken or flawed; it's about recognizing when something in life isn’t working and finding new ways forward. We all reach points where our usual ways of coping fall short, and it takes courage to ask for help. I see therapy as a space to explore what’s not working, build on what is, and discover new tools, insights, and directions. It’s a privilege to walk alongside people as they make sense of their experiences and move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life. I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet each client’s unique needs. Every person responds differently to treatment, and part of my role is to help identify and apply the approach that best fits your goals and values. My work is grounded in a client-centered perspective, which means I see therapy as a collaborative process where I walk alongside clients as they move toward self-discovery and meaningful change. I also take a trauma-informed approach, which prioritizes emotional safety and recognizes how trauma can impact a person’s view of themselves and the world. In addition, I incorporate evidence-based practices (EBPs) to support structured, goal-oriented change. During my clinical training at the Orlando VA Healthcare System, I completed specialized training in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I also use solution-focused therapy and am currently integrating acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which helps clients align their actions with their values while learning to navigate difficult emotions more effectively. Treatment Areas I have experience working with young adults, adults, and Veterans. I enjoy supporting clients through life transitions and helping them manage challenges such as depression, anxiety, anger, and spiritual struggles. I also work with individuals processing trauma, drawing from my extensive experience at the Orlando VA. Additional areas I address include self-esteem and self-worth, burnout and work-related stress, performance anxiety, and existential concerns such as identity, purpose, and mortality. I aim to create a space where clients feel supported, empowered, and understood so they can move toward the kind of life they want to live.

At Belief Counseling, we believe that meaningful change begins in a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and respected. Our approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each client’s unique needs, strengths, experiences, and goals. We work with children, adolescents, adults, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), behavioral and emotional challenges, trauma, grief, family conflict, life transitions, and school-related stress. Rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach, we incorporate evidence-based interventions such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), mindfulness, motivational interviewing, solution-focused strategies, psychoeducation, and the Modular Approach to Therapy for Children (MATCH), when clinically appropriate. With children and adolescents, we strive to make therapy engaging and developmentally appropriate while helping them strengthen emotional regulation, coping, communication, confidence, and problem-solving skills. We also recognize the important role of parents and caregivers, and we collaborate with families when appropriate to support progress beyond the therapy session. For adults, therapy provides a supportive space to better understand emotions, recognize unhelpful patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, strengthen relationships, and work toward meaningful personal goals. At Belief Counseling, our goal is not simply to focus on symptoms, but to understand the whole person and help each client build practical skills that can be used in everyday life. We meet clients where they are and work alongside them as they move toward greater emotional well-being, resilience, and meaningful change. Services are available in English and Spanish, both in person and through telehealth in Florida.

Are you feeling overwhelmed by life? Struggling to find the joy? Wondering what it all means? I am dedicated to providing a safe and loving space for you to discuss your deepest concerns without fear of judgment or misunderstanding. With over 30 years of experience in the healthcare helping professions, I have a deep and candid interest in understanding your perspective and supporting you as you learn to make the changes that will lead you closer to the life that you desire and deserve.

A client's relationship with his or her therapist is very important. Real change is possible only when a client feels comfortable being genuine with the therapist. This ability to be oneself fosters change within a safe environment where clients can explore their experiences. Together we can help you achieve more awareness and a more authentic life. I'm excited to help you choose a path to guide your life's choices. When working with a child who is struggling, I believe the entire family should be involved. Many challenges begin at home, making the family unit an important focal point. Within the confines of a judgment-free relationships, I can help you identify problematic family dynamics. With an understanding that no two situations are alike and that every person's struggles arise from a different background, we are able to set a personalized approach to your therapy.

I believe therapy works best when it feels safe, honest, and collaborative. My approach is warm, direct, and grounded in helping you understand not only what you are struggling with, but why certain patterns keep showing up in your life. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, depression, addiction, relationship stress, and major life transitions. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or tired of repeating the same cycles. Together, we slow things down, identify what is happening beneath the surface, and build practical tools for lasting change. My style combines evidence-based therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) informed trauma work, mindfulness, and a person-centered approach. I do not believe therapy is about judgment, blame, or being told what to do. It is about creating space to understand yourself more clearly, process painful experiences, and begin making choices that align with the life you want. I also bring years of experience working in treatment settings, which has shaped my belief that healing is possible even when things feel complicated or deeply rooted. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, trauma, addiction, or relationship concerns, my goal is to help you feel less alone, more grounded, and more capable of moving forward.
