About Me:

I have been working as a Mental Health Counselor for the past 10 years. I completed my undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Florida and my graduate degree in Mental Health Counseling at Florida State University. 

About BreakThrough Wellness:

Breakthrough - (noun) a sudden, dramatic, and important discovery or development. 

Wellness - (noun) a state of being in good health, especially as an actively pursued goal. 

I was inspired to start BreakThrough Wellness during one of the hardest times for many of us, the COVID-19 pandemic. There have been so many challenges during these scary times, mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially. My desire is to help make day-to-day life challenges less difficult for you. 

My Philosophy:

My personal belief is that everyone is the expert of their own life. After all, we spend more time with ourselves than anyone else. The challenge is in trusting ourselves, being fully aware of our emotions and actions, and feeling empowered to act in a way that will allow us to access our own happiness.

 I combine a variety of therapeutic approaches to meet each individual client's unique need, including using a multicultural lens and faith-based approach when appropriate. I am also EMDR trained and Certified in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. I have experience providing services to a variety of different populations such as children, adolescents, adults, couples and families throughout my career. I enjoy working with a wide range of presenting concerns including anxiety, depression, family of origin concerns, adjustment disorders, trauma, interpersonal concerns, grief, etc.
