Hi There! I am a dual licensed professional counselor in both Florida and California State. My last twenty years of direct support positions working with a myriad of populations and ages has included counseling adolescents in high schools and foster care agencies, newly homeless, pregnant women in a non-profit agency (suffering from depression due to domestic violence), chronically mentally ill patients in hospital care, elderly clientele in an adult care facility, adults facing trauma and grief, and all ages on a crisis and text line. Through all these experiences I have been extremely humbled by so many people allowing me to enter their worlds. As a therapist, I utilize a person-centered approach using warmth, compassion, and and humor to understand each person I meet. I am especially attuned to those suffering loss or trauma, as I personally have lost two family members to depression. These losses have given me a special gift to help heal those around me and compel me to soften the anxiety, depression, or confusion of those who need it. I especially try to help people become more resilient in their lives since I have had to personally be this way and not to succumb to the hardships I have had to face. Rather than letting these hardships define me, I have wanted to connect with others and provide support for others facing life struggles. On a personal level, I am especially connected to nature and animals and have been an avid animal rescuer my entire life. I look forward to hearing YOUR story.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with over 20 years of experience working as a counselor and psychotherapist. I have worked with clients of all ages who have experienced a wide range of issues including depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, and stage of life changes. My counseling style is sensitive, warm, and supportive. I come from a person-centered approach which involves treating my clients with respect, dignity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, mindfulness, and solution -focused processes. My clients enjoy the challenges presented in sessions and find the changes they make are the changes they seek; it just was not in their conscious thoughts. People usually have the answers inside them and just need help finding their way to make the changes they seek. Seeking help is difficult, we must admit to ourselves that we cannot figure this problem out on our own. Or maybe, we just want to improve our quality of life and become more productive, more independent, or more powerful person. People seek help for many reasons. Helping people is my passion. I love to see the changes my clients make. I believe that any good relationship is based on trust, and I promise to create a safe space for you to be heard and validated. I am described as compassionate, gentle, and kind but can also be firm when it’s needed. It is important to note that I practice unconditional regard and will never judge or shame you. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to working with you!

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida. I specialize in working with clients who struggle with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, low self esteem and career struggles, as well as those struggling to overcome addictions. I believe the most important part of working with an individual is to develop a strong therapeutic relationship with mutual respect as I work with my clients. I am always curious and seek first to know my client and understand why he or she is looking for help with a problem. I initially started my career working with employees in a corporate setting with a MS in Industrial psychology. I developed a passion for helping individuals make positive changes in their lives and went back to school to become a licensed MFT. As my client I will help you develop goals for change and then to implement a plan to make positive changes in your life. I use a variety of tools such as Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Solution Focused therapy and Narrative therapy. I am a believer in the tenants of positive psychology as a means to help you make positive changes in your life. I greatly look forward to meeting and working with you as a client. Together we can do the work and make positive changes in your life.

I am a licensed social worker with extensive experience in the mental health field. I have worked in psychiatric hospitals for over 17 years treating adolescents teens and adults. I have had a private practice the last few years helping people in the community on an outpatient basis. I am passionate about helping people survive and thrive through adversities. Often times depression, stress, an daily struggles run us down and debilitate us from being the best version of ourselves. It leads us to doubt our strength and abilities. and we become self destructive and loose our sense of self. Therapists like myself help to re program, hit the reset button and build your foundation again. We often need someone to believe in us and motivate us to make change and become invigorated. New coping skills and habits along side of a healthy, private, honest listener can help us begin to heal and strive in our own lives. It is a risk to disclose and discuss deeply buried feelings and insecurities which is why a therapist is helpful to label our feelings and help us reframe our thoughts and begin to unburden ourselves so we can become healthy and balanced again. Take a step and allow one of the therapists to help you get started today. I encourage you to be open and honest to change. Reach out to me or another therapist and start your journey. Take a deep breath hit the start button and begin............ I like to offer a safe, emotionally sound and inviting appointment for my clients.

Problem solving, listening and offering resources to work on the issues you feel are important to you. I assess the presenting problem, provide empathy, compassion, and problem-solving skills. Often I find just having someone understand us and support us in our own unique way is the best approach. I have worked with grief and loss issues in clients. I have compassion and tools to help navigate the survivor feelings and healing of those who experience the loss.
