I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Florida with 15 years of professional Social Work and Mental Health experience. I am trained in dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), Trauma Informed Care, and experienced providing a variety of psychosocial interventions such as substance-abuse, symptom management, life-skills, and emotional coping. I have experience helping clients with family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues and pregnancy loss. I am an older therapist with life experiences, and believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My passion is to be a guide to help you navigate through life challenges. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am so proud of you for getting started.
