As a licensed Marriage and Family therapist, I believe I’m in the joy and happiness business.
My work is about helping individuals rediscover joy, heal old wounds, reconnect with parts of themselves that may have been lost along the way, and create lives that feel more authentic, fulfilling, and meaningful. I also support couples in rebuilding connection, strengthening communication, deepening understanding, and rediscovering the sense of partnership and closeness that brings greater happiness to their relationship.
I work collaboratively, creating a safe and supportive space where you can explore what’s working, what’s not, and what you want to be different. When core beliefs or behaviors are no longer serving you, we will examine them together and create more helpful ways of thinking, communicating, and relating.
I do this work because I’ve done the work myself. Therapy helped me truly understand how powerful self-awareness, accountability, and communication can be-not just for healing, but for building strong, lasting relationships. I know firsthand what it takes to grow as an individual and as a partner, and I’ve seen how meaningful change can happen when people feel supported rather than judged, and are willing to put the effort in to grow.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida. I hold a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University, where I graduated with high honors, and a bachelor’s degree from the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!) In addition to my clinical training, I am a graduate of Coach U’s training program in core and professional essentials. I have a background as a professional life, business and mentor coach. I’ve also held senior leadership roles in both corporate and non-profit organizations across New York City and Florida. These experiences allow me to understand not only relationships and emotional health, but also the real-life pressures of work, family and responsibility.
I’ve been happily married for over 20 years and I am the mother of a young adult son. I don’t believe in “perfect” relationships, but I do believe in healthy ones-relationships where both people feel respected, heard, and supported.
