INTEGRATIVE PSYCHOTHERAPY · PALM BEACH COUNTY
Founder · MSW
A direct, supportive relationship.
Therapy that makes room for all of you.
I founded Inner Compass Counseling in 2025 to create a practice grounded in authentic connection, thoughtful care, and respect for each person’s experience. I have worked in mental health and addiction treatment for over five years and hold a Master of Social Work from Florida Atlantic University. Before becoming a clinician, I worked in street outreach for a South Florida nonprofit serving people experiencing homelessness. I met people where they were, built trust, and helped them take steps toward accepting support and connecting with housing and community resources.
I went on to spend years in treatment settings, helping individuals and families navigate addiction and severe mental illness. In private practice, I have continued this work while broadening my focus to include people who may appear to be managing well outwardly but are struggling internally. I support adults and adolescents through emotional, behavioral, and relationship challenges, with attention to each person’s history, circumstances, and goals.

MY APPROACH
I practice integrative psychotherapy: we draw from different approaches according to your needs, rather than expecting you to fit one method. Our working relationship is central. I make space for honesty and curiosity, including conversations about what is helping and what needs to change.
I don’t see the struggles people bring to therapy as proof that something is wrong with them. Anxiety, depression, addiction, and other difficulties are often misunderstood reactions or adaptations to a person’s environment: a normal response to an abnormal situation. Very little about modern society is “normal,” and humans were not designed to live the way our world is currently set up. Seeing your struggles in that light can make room for compassion as well as change.
My experience includes work with anxiety and phobias, major depression and suicidal ideation, substance and process addictions, obsessive compulsive tendencies, men’s issues, adolescents, dual diagnosis, ADHD, grief, and first responders and veterans.
I am LGBTQ+ affirming and competent in working with concerns involving sexuality and sexual identity.
WORKING TOGETHER
We explore your experiences, relationships, and the patterns you want to change, drawing from different approaches according to your needs. When we work with difficult memories, I often bring EMDR and Internal Family Systems together, with careful attention to preparation and pacing.
