About me

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 20 years of experience providing counseling and psycho-therapy. I have a dual masters degree in Mental Health Counseling and School Guidance Counseling. I have worked with clients suffering from wide ranges of issues including depression, anxiety, psychotic disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD along with sexual disfunctions. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse and criminalization.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I look forward to working with you!

Noel listens and give helpful advice. He has helped me on my journey to sobriety and has opened my eyes to thoughts and coping skills I never used before

Written on Jan 24, 2024 after therapy with Noel for 1 year and 4 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, and career difficulties

Noel is an awesome therapist that listens without judging. He was able to help me find some triggers that were leading to the behavior I was trying to change and work with me to change those behaviors.

Noel is caring, compassionate, and patient. He takes the time to listen to your concerns. He asks you about your day and weekend which usually gets the conversation going. I'm happy to start our call every week and pleased to recommend Noel. If you are new to therapy or have been attending therapy for years, give Noel an opportunity to change your view, which could ultimately change your life.

Friendly, warm, and welcoming to this new experience for me.

Written on May 08, 2023 after therapy with Noel for 3 weeks on issues concerning trauma and abuse

Being completely new to therapy, I wasn't sure what to expect. Therapy is something I've always wanted to explore but wasn't sure how to get started or what exactly I was even looking for. Noel has been great to work with, he shows a wonderful level of care and provides great feedback and perspective to our discussions. I couldn't recommend him more!
