I became a counselor because I’ve always had a deep desire to help others achieve their personal best. I consider it an honor when someone trusts me with their story — especially the parts that are hard to share. With over 17 years of experience, I bring both professional expertise and genuine care to every client I work with.

Professional Background
My journey in mental health began in 2009 at Circles of Care in Brevard County, where I worked as a Mental Health Technician serving chronically ill patients in a residential treatment setting. I went on to work at La Amistad in Winter Park, where I worked with children and adolescents with behavioral challenges, as well as adults navigating PTSD and addiction recovery.
While completing my graduate degree, I gained clinical experience at the UCF Counseling Clinic, followed by four years as a Certified School Counselor at Altamonte Elementary, where I supported students and families in a K-5 setting.
In 2017 I transitioned to telehealth, joining BetterHelp well before remote therapy became mainstream. That experience confirmed what I already believed — that flexible, accessible counseling can be just as meaningful and effective as in-person work.
Why Serenity Solutions Counseling?
After years of working within larger organizations, I founded Serenity Solutions Counseling because I wanted to provide something different — a private, personalized practice where I could tailor treatment specifically to each client’s needs, values, and goals without the restrictions of a corporation. As a self-pay practice, your sessions remain completely private and are never shared with insurance companies or government agencies. Your care is between you and me.
