Therapists in Florida

I am a licensed mental health professional in Florida, with 20+ years of experience. My approach to therapy focuses on a positive and empowering approach, encompassing a range of techniques from different theories. I will assist you in focusing on your strengths and how you can increase your own resilience and adaptability to help you through difficult times versus focusing trying to change things beyond your control. I believe that mental health is a lifestyle, just as we need to maintain our physical health, mental health requires work and attention too. Mental health is not a 2-sided concept--it is not that you are or you are not mentally healthy, think of it as more of a continuum or spectrum with optimal functioning on end and least optimal functioning on the other end. Where is your health on the spectrum and how can we help you move more into the optimal direction? There are no quick fixes or magic cures for all that troubles you, but with some lifestyle adjustments you can improve your overall well-being. I would like to help you examine your life and create lifestyle improvements that are unique to your needs and abilities.

It takes courage to take the first steps towards a change. I applaud you for taking the first step toward a more fulfilling, happier life. I believe that YOU are the expert on you. To help you, I bring a boatload of curiosity and a searching, inquisitive nature. You come to therapy with all the clues inside of you. It is my job to help you find the answers. I bring tons of life experience – more than this page can fit. It all serves to aid me in helping you know yourself better. Having confronted my own life’s challenges (with plenty of counseling along the way), I may be the best fit for what you are dealing with. It was always my destiny to become a therapist. I have been studying psychology and neuroscience since I was 17. That curiosity of mine has led me to specialize in different counseling models so that I can create a specialized plan of therapy just for you. I took a long road to become a professional therapist, doing many non-professional interventions along the way. My graduate degree is from Rollins College in Florida, a small liberal arts school with the best counselor education program I could find. My clients have ranged from 17 to 70, with the majority seeking help with depression, anxiety issues, or life changes. I know you and I will work well together. I look forward to beginning the therapy journey with you.

Greetings and welcome! I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with over 20 years of experience working with diverse populations. I graduated with a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology in 1997 from Palm Beach Atlantic University. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, relationship/communication issues, marital conflict, singleness, grief/loss, anger management, low self-esteem, trauma, and spiritual concerns. I served as an adjunct professor for many years, teaching psychology and counseling at the graduate level. For the past seven years, I worked at a university counseling center providing therapy to both graduate and undergraduate students. I primarily counsel from a cognitive-behavioral approach. My therapy style is warm and non-judgmental. I understand how difficult it can be to talk openly with a stranger about personal things. Know that I will speak the truth in a genuine, loving way that is guided by my desire to see my clients grow personally, as well as in their relationship with others. Counseling is not just a profession to me, but a calling to care for others to the best of my ability. You may have heard the saying, "It may get worse before it gets better." I want my clients to know that change can be difficult sometimes, so if you feel tired, worn out, or uncomfortably challenged after a counseling session, that's okay. We're doing something right! Don't give up. Counseling is a process that may take some time, so stick with it and we will work together as a team. My joy is to see you reap the rewards. Please Note: Currently, I am offering daytime appointments only, ranging from 9am-3pm on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. I look forward to the privilege of working with you!
