I am a family and marriage counselor licensed in Florida. I've been working with families, couples and individuals since 1999. I've worked primarily in community mental health with families and children. I have deep experience in domestic violence and sexual abuse, trauma, depression, anxiety, PTSD, suicide prevention as well as gender and LGBTQ issues. I believe in putting the client in “the driver's seat”. I place a high value on the autonomy of the people I serve. You are the the best judge of what you need (although, it's not always feel that way). I enjoy working from a client-centered perspective, but I draw from other evidence based practices as well, especially Cognitive-behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy and family systems theory. I also pride myself on working with people from a variety of cultural, ethnic and religious backgrounds. I truly honor and enjoy the unique character and journey of the person I am working with. Everyone needs a hand with life's “heavy lifting” from time to time. It would be my privilege to work with you. Peace!

Counseling is a process where we can work together to bring about change or help you adjust to change that has been forced upon you, with the ultimate goal of improving your quality of life. I am also designated as an adoption competent therapist. I enjoy working with adoptive parents, adults who were adopted, as well as, my personal heroes, the birth mothers. I have also completed training to use Eye Movement, Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). With training in both Social Work and Accounting, I am particularly well equipped to help families as they navigate through financial challenges and deal with the relational issues that these challenges may raise. And then there is life and sometimes it is just hard. As Mr. Rogers said, “Anything that’s human is mentionable, and anything that is mentionable can be more manageable. When we can talk about our feelings, they become less overwhelming, less upsetting, and less scary. The people we trust with that important talk can help us know that we are not alone.” I believe that I can be that person you can trust. I never want to think of anybody being alone, holding on what they’ve been told is unmentionable. As a friend of mine says, “Life is not a dress rehearsal.” We don’t get a do-over. Let’s work together to make the most of it! So, contact me and let’s get together and see if I am someone who you are comfortable with. I’d love to help.
