Get to know Renewal Counseling

Making the decision to begin therapy is not an easy one. I understand the inner tension between the desire for healing and the fear of being vulnerable and exploring your story. My true passion is walking alongside those that choose to walk into the harmful parts of their story in search of light. During our time together I will provide space for you to share your burdens, heal, and experience renewal in your relationships.

I have my bachelor’s degree in Special Education from the University of Central Florida, and my Master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Palm Beach Atlantic University. Over the past few years, I have sought out and completed 3 levels of training with the Allender Center in Seattle and am a facilitator for their Narrative Focused Trauma Care level 1 trainings. I have lived in Fort Lauderdale for 12 years and have a heart for this city and its people. I look forward to starting this journey with you.
