I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of FL. with over 20 years experience in both the Community Mental Health setting as well as working with individuals, couples and families as a licensed counselor. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, & families around issues of depression/anxiety, behavioral concerns, parenting, relationships/family issues, adjustment/transitions, and trauma. My role is to guide and support you in learning about and implementing skills that will assist you live your best life. I meet each client where you are and build on your strengths while identifying and strengthening your weaknesses. My style is not always “easy”, I will most often push you past your comfort zone, but I will always be empathetic and patient ensuring your well being at all times. My therapeutic approach is strength based with eclectic therapeutic techniques that conform to the individualized needs of my clients. I have extensive trainings in trauma, grief and cognitive behavior therapy. I am an avid believer in a holistic approach to mental health therapy: mind, body, emotional and social factors. I am heavily involved in continued research of the different trends of therapy. Oftentimes, clients aren’t aware of what is holding them back and keeping them stuck in unhealthy patterns. As your therapist I will assist you in identifying those things. It has taken a life time to create the person who you are currently and it is small changes that will assist in creating the person who you want to become. I look forward to supporting and guiding you on your journey to improved mental and emotional well being.
