🌟 As the founder and lead psychologist at Finding Hope Wellness Center, I am dedicated to creating a safe and supportive environment where individuals and families can find healing, growth, and hope. With a focus on clients aged 6 through adulthood, I provide: - Therapeutic Services: Helping children, teens, and adults navigate challenges, develop resilience, and achieve their goals through evidence-based therapy. - Psychological Evaluations: Conducting comprehensive assessments to provide clarity, diagnosis, and actionable steps for children and adults. - Clinical Supervision: Guiding and mentoring emerging mental health professionals to ensure high-quality, ethical care for their clients. My mission is to empower individuals and families with tools for growth and healing while fostering a collaborative and compassionate approach to wellness. At Finding Hope, we don’t just treat challenges—we work together to build a brighter future.

I am a Florida Licensed Psychologist specializing in working with children, teens, and young adults through individual therapy. My approach is empathetic, collaborative, and interactive. I focus on truly hearing my clients' concerns and providing clear, comprehensive treatment plans to help them achieve their goals. I ensure my clients have a clear understanding of what to expect in therapy, take time to answer their questions, and create an open, supportive space for growth. In addition to therapy, I have extensive experience conducting psychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults. These evaluations provide valuable insights and personalized recommendations for treatment interventions tailored to each individual's needs. I strive to create a warm, empathetic environment where my clients feel safe to share their worries and concerns, knowing they are heard and understood. From the very first session, I am intentional about gathering the information needed to offer hope, clarity, and actionable steps toward healing and growth.

I have had the privilege of working with children, adolescents, and families facing a wide range of challenges, including trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, school-related issues, bullying, and family conflict. My extensive training spans counseling, evaluation, and consultation services, working with individuals as young as five through older adults. My clinical experiences have been diverse, including roles in school settings, hospitals, extended day treatment programs for children, community mental health centers, and private practices. These varied settings have enriched my perspective and deepened my ability to meet the unique needs of each client. I am passionate about guiding and supporting individuals and families as they navigate their challenges, helping them set and achieve personal goals, and fostering resilience and growth along the way.
