My Approach

An Integrated Model Built Around You

My counseling approach is integrative — meaning I draw from multiple evidence-based frameworks and tailor them to the unique needs, goals, and lived experience of each person I work with. There is no single roadmap to healing, and I believe deeply in honoring the individual journey.

I frequently weave together strengths-based, existential, narrative, and holistic methods. Rather than focusing solely on symptoms, I help clients explore meaning, identity, and possibility — building insight that supports long-term, lasting change.

As the owner of Integrated Counseling Solutions, a clinical mental health and consulting practice in Central Florida, I bring over 15 years of clinical experience alongside a Ph.D. in Counselor Education & Supervision, full licensure (LMHC, NCC, ACS), and advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy.

Who I Work With

You Might Be a Good Fit If…

People who are drawn to my work tend to value holistic wellbeing, culturally affirming methods, self-love, and long-term healing. They are often high-achieving individuals who feel something quietly holding them back — and they are ready to do the meaningful work of figuring out why.

🌀

High-Functioning Anxiety

You appear to have it all together from the outside, but inside you're carrying worry, overthinking, and a relentless pressure to perform.

🌧

High-Functioning Depression

You show up, fulfill your responsibilities, and keep moving — while quietly living with emptiness, fatigue, or a sense that something is missing.

🌱

Trauma & Past Experiences

You carry experiences that have shaped how you see yourself and the world — and you're ready to process, heal, and reclaim your narrative.

🔥

Burnout

You've given so much to others — your work, your family, your community — that you've lost touch with yourself. Rest and rebuilding are possible.

🪞

Identity & Cultural Concerns

You're navigating questions of self, belonging, culture, and identity — and you want a therapist who truly sees and affirms the fullness of who you are.

⚖️

Stress & Life Balance

You're juggling it all and longing for a life that feels both purposeful and sustainable — one where happiness and health aren't in competition.
