I’m a mental health counselor with a master’s degree in Counseling from the University of Miami. My work focuses primarily on couples therapy, individual therapy, parent focused work, and relational dynamics across different stages of life.

​

I work primarily with relationships, communication, emotional awareness, personal growth, parenting dynamics, and the patterns people find themselves repeating in everyday life.

A large part of my work focuses on helping people better understand themselves, their relationships, and the ways past experiences can continue shaping how they respond to stress, conflict, connection, emotions, and change. I’m especially interested in the deeper relational patterns people carry into adulthood and the ways those patterns can quietly affect communication, self worth, boundaries, intimacy, and day to day life.

​

At the same time, I believe support should stay flexible and tailored to the individual person rather than rigidly following one approach. Depending on the person and situation, I may incorporate communication strategies, emotional regulation tools, mindfulness based work, behavioral approaches, psychoeducation, reflection based work, and practical problem solving.

​

In my work with couples, I often focus on communication patterns, emotional disconnection, recurring conflict, trust, intimacy, and helping people better understand the dynamic they create together rather than simply assigning blame. In parent and family focused work, I help parents and children better understand each other’s emotional needs, communication styles, stress responses, and overall relationship patterns.

I also facilitate epilepsy support groups, which is both professionally and personally meaningful to me as someone living with epilepsy myself.

Okay, now for the people who don’t speak fluent therapist language.

 

Basically, I help people slow things down enough to better understand themselves, their relationships, and the patterns they keep getting stuck in.

​

Sometimes that means helping a couple who keeps having the same argument over and over again but cannot figure out why they always end up in the exact same place. Sometimes it means helping someone who looks completely fine on the outside but internally feels anxious, overwhelmed, disconnected, exhausted, or stuck in survival mode.

 

A lot of the work comes down to patterns. The ways we communicate, avoid things, shut down, overthink, react defensively, people please, pull away, or keep repeating dynamics we swore we would never repeat.

With parents and families, I often help people better understand what is actually happening underneath the stress or conflict. Sometimes children communicate emotions indirectly through behavior. Sometimes parents are overwhelmed and trying their best with tools that are no longer helping the relationship. Most of the time, nobody is “the bad guy.” People are usually just stuck in patterns that no longer work.

​

Some sessions are practical and structured. Others go deeper into emotions, relationships, identity, communication, or the parts of ourselves we usually avoid slowing down long enough to look at. Most of the time, it ends up being a combination of both.
