ABOUT
ME
Passionate About Inspiring Others
Imagine a life where intrusive thoughts no longer dictate your actions. Picture yourself enjoying a meal without the burden of guilt or anxiety. I believe that everyone deserves to experience these moments of true liberation. That's why I offer a comprehensive, evidence-based approach tailored specifically to OCD and eating disorders.
At Shoreline Counseling, I understand the overwhelming challenges that individuals facing OCD and eating disorders encounter every day. I'm here to tell you that there is hope and a path to freedom. I have spent my professional career specialized in helping individuals just like you overcome the shackles of these conditions and embrace a life filled with possibilities.
In my practice, my utmost priority is to provide you with compassionate support as we navigate the path of self-discovery together. Drawing upon a diverse range of strength-based and evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Exposure and Response Prevention, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), I tailor our sessions to meet your unique needs and circumstances.
​
With a specialization in the treatment of eating disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), I bring years of valuable experience to our therapeutic relationship. My commitment to professional growth and excellence has led me to pursue extra credentialing and receive mentorship from distinguished experts in these fields. Currently, I am working diligently towards obtaining my certification as an Eating Disorder Specialist (CED-S). Additionally, I possess a specific focus on treating Avoidant Food Restrictive Intake Disorder (AFRID), a less common subtype of eating disorder.
​
I firmly believe in your potential for positive change and personal growth. Together, we will navigate the intricacies of your journey, surmount obstacles, and help you embrace the fulfilling life that you deserve. I am dedicated to providing unwavering support and guidance as you take meaningful steps towards healing and transformation.
​
It would be an absolute honor to accompany you on this transformative process. I warmly invite you to take the next courageous step on your path to personal growth by reaching out to schedule a consultation. Together, we will embark on a collaborative and empowering therapeutic journey, enabling you to embrace the life you've always envisioned.
​
I wholeheartedly look forward to meeting you and being a part of your extraordinary journey.
Journey of Personal Transformation
Elevating Mental Health through Experience and Research
​It is with great satisfaction that I share my academic achievements and practical experience in the field of Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Having successfully completed my Master of Science at the esteemed University of North Florida, I have been equipped with a comprehensive foundation to provide exceptional care to those in need.
​
During my academic journey, I had the privilege of engaging in invaluable clinical experiences. I had the opportunity to work closely with adolescents, teens, and young adults in diverse settings, including both outpatient and intensive outpatient/partial hospitalization programs. These experiences have fostered a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals in these age groups and have honed my ability to provide tailored support and guidance.
​
In addition to my hands-on experience, I have actively contributed to the field of mental health through research endeavors that hold great significance to me. I take immense pride in having published a number of papers centered around the critical topic of eating disorders. With a specific focus on different stages of life, particularly among college students, I have delved into areas such as recidivism and the intricate relationship between depression and anxiety. These research contributions have not only deepened my understanding of the complexities surrounding these issues but have also equipped me with invaluable insights to better assist individuals facing these challenges.
​
As we embark on a therapeutic journey together, you can be assured that my academic background, practical experience, and commitment to ongoing research allow me to offer you the most up-to-date and effective support. Your well-being is my priority, and I am dedicated to providing the highest standard of care based on a foundation of both theory and practice.
