Therapists in Florida

Therapy offers reflection and redefines what is possible in your life. For nearly two decades I have been in position to see a number of individuals and families take advantage of the opportunity that therapy provides to create functional responses to the ups and downs of being alive. The therapeutic relationship is sacred to me because it is through the client-therapist connection that the mirror of self-awareness becomes clear. It is not unusual for each member of the relationship to have their life touched and changed for the better. I see it as an honor and privilege whenever someone invites me into their life and their private thoughts. It is not our training or our education that makes us effective supporters of self-healing as much as it is our ability to create an environment of trust, honesty, and mutual understanding. Building this relationship and giving individuals the space to make decisions that support their emotional goals has been my area of expertise for quite some time. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, family issues, existential angst, and even spiritual crisis, the therapeutic relationship can work in your favor.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in the State of Florida and a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP). I have been clinically practicing therapy for over 5 years. I have experience in a range of clinical settings of residential programs, outpatient facilities, school based setting and private practice. I have worked with children, adolescents and adults for individual, couples and family therapy. As we all know we face many troubles within ourselves and without. Whether that be self-esteem, self-doubt, family, relationships, work, financial situations, co-parenting, etc. I believe that we all go through things in life that impacts us more than we know– some good, some bad and some indifferent. We experience some things that we can control and others we cannot. With that, I have found that it has become essential to focus on being INTENTIONAL in the way that you live, interact with others and go forth on your journey through life. I think that if we strive to take action in our life and not settle for the hand that we have been dealt, we can process, heal and grow to great depths. I utilize primarily Narrative and Solution-Focused based Therapy approach as it relates to my systemic background training, which allows for a non-judgmental, open space that allows a collaborative effort to assist you in making the needed changes in your life, because you are the expert! Working with me, collaboratively we will work towards unpacking, becoming more intentional (in the way you live, interact with self and others) and creating the life you deserve. I look forward to working with you!

Thank you for visiting my profile. I offer a safe and judgment-free opportunity for people to discuss problems or challenges they are facing. I work with a diverse combination of professionals, blue collar workers, parents, graduate students, agency administrators, seniors, and others. I enjoy helping clients explore alternatives for understanding the past, experiencing the present, and moving into the future. My approach involves talking in plain language and, as appropriate, with a bit of lightness and humor. I transitioned to counseling after a successful 32-year career as a private practice lawyer. My life experiences, previous professional history, and compassion help me help clients. I work with clients on relationship issues, toxic workplace concerns, anger management, grief, anxiety, depression, trauma, assertiveness training, career choices, and other concerns. I enjoy working with caregivers for the elderly, disabled, or ill.

I am passionate about helping the clients I serve as they navigate life challenges. With nearly two decades of experience in wilderness settings as well as clinical settings, I have helped my clients with trauma, interpersonal relationship issues, addiction, grief/loss, depression, anxiety, aging, and family dynamics. I seek to build a connection of trust, understanding, and empathy with my clients. Listening to your concerns and helping you discover the best path for your circumstances is always my primary focus. I use a variety of techniques in treatment, tailoring to best meet the individual needs of the client. Some of my favorites combine mindfulness and cognitive behavioral therapy such as meditation, mindfulness practices, identifying unproductive thought patterns and reshaping them to create new behavioral patterns.
