As a neurodiversity and LGBTQI+ affirming therapist, I will help you tackle these struggles by empowering you to find and use your unique strengths, beliefs, and passions to attain your personal goals.
I believe connection is vital and I strive to help you feel safe and heard. My motto is to always have your back. I want you to know that I will always hear you and see you. My number one goal is to help foster safety so you feel safe enough to share your story free of judgment.
I have a strong background in helping children, adolescents, and young adults manage/explore:
In my years of working with a diverse child, adolescent, and young adult population, I have learned there is no battle that it "too big" or "too small." With a safe and judgement free space, there is endless room to explore, conquer your battles, and create a life story that you can be proud of!
With a person-centered approach, I will adjust my treatment plans uniquely to compliment your personality and needs. I will do my best to work around your schedule so that we can meet during times you feel most comfortable.
Additionally, I am certified in AutPlay Therapy. This comprehensive approach focuses on supporting neurodivergent individuals ages 3-18 who are searching for a nurturing, play-like environment where therapy revolves around the client's preferences and strengths.
Prior to joining Capon Counseling, I worked at South Tampa Therapy and Mediation, where I provided individual, family, and couples counseling. During that time, I discovered my love and passion for working with children and teens. I also worked at the Crisis Center of Tampa Bay, gaining invaluable trauma and crisis counseling experience.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Social and Behavioral Health Sciences and my Master's degree in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling from University of South Florida. I am licensed in Maryland as a Licensed Graduate Professional Counselor (LGPC). I am also registered in Florida as a mental health counselor and I am certified in Marriage and Family Therapy.
