I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the mental health field. I began my journey into the helping professions in 1995 at Stetson University. In 1999 I graduated from that institution with a Bachelors degree in Psychology and a minor in Music. After a brief hiatus to "catch my breath", I returned to school at the University of Central Florida. I completed my studies at UCF in 2002, graduating with a Masters degree in Clinical Psychology. Following a 2 year post-Masters internship and a wealth of real world experience I was awarded my license in Mental Health Counseling in 2007. My approach to therapy varies from person to person. Some may benefit from a Cognitive Behavioral perspective to tackle negative thoughts and emotions while others may benefit from a more Existential approach. My focus is always on the needs and wants of the individual seeking help. Regardless of the method we employ, I also view therapy as a process that should be productive. A person receiving counseling should be able to see increased insight, more effective coping strategies, clarity, better decision-making skills or a combination of these. The counseling I provide is typically a combination of multiple modalities, including Solution Focused Therapy. The core values that drive my philosophy with regard to therapy are choice, authenticity, honesty, cultural awareness and positive regard. You are a unique individual. There has never been and will never be another you. Who you are is determined by a host of factors including genetics, upbringing , your heritage and the culture in which you were raised. You've taken an amazing first step by coming to BetterHelp.com. If you like, we can take the next steps on your journey together. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified addictions professional and an advanced heart-centered hypnotherapist in Florida with over 10 years of experience working as a therapist- counselor and hypnotherapist. I work with many different types of clients with a wide range of concerns: depression, anxiety, codependency, coping with process addictions to people / behaviors and substances, LGBT-related issues, relationship issues, spirituality, career challenges, trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is a mix between warm, interactive, thoughtful, and client centered. I go where you feel you want and need to go. My orientation is that I believe you have the power to heal yourself. I believe in being fully present to my clients so that I can truly hear what is in their heart. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines helping you sort through how you think, what you are saying to yourself; how you feel – as a way of watching what flags your body is sending up that you need to be aware of, and what patterns you use to cope (past and present) to see how they work, and do not work, for you now. I use regular talking therapy and if we both agree it will be helpful, I also some occasional light hypnotherapy as well to supplement / support the regular talking therapy. I am also a SMART Recovery facilitator and conversant with 12-Step Programs. My interventions with addictions and compulsions (with behaviors, people, substances) combines SMART Recovery work (known as Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy) as well as looking at underlying causes of hurt and avoidance to help my clients be more present to themselves so that they can move through the avoidance of addiction and forward to recovery. I have formal theological training in Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Pagan and other religions and spiritualties. I have worked with clients from many different mainstream, alternative and minority religions, non-religions, philosophies and spiritualities. I celebrate and fully support how each individual client chooses to connect to what is meaningful for them. I believe that how we connect with ourselves, others, and the universe as we personally understand it can be a potentially important personal resource. I tailor dialog and treatment planning to you as an individual with your unique and specific needs. Therapy is about personal transformation, moving into an expression of your highest and best self. I love to watch and support people consciously working to move themselves forward on their Life Path. When you are ready to change and move forward, I am here to hold space for you in your work. PAPERWORK BEFORE YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT: New Florida laws require that I get all of my Clients, including my Clients here in BetterHelp, to sign legally required paperwork before I can see / work with them. When you initially reach out to me here in BetterHelp I will ask you for your first and last name, email address and phone number and then email you a link so you can sign the legally required paperwork. Its easy, its free and allows me to work with you here in BetterHelp. SCHEDULING INFORMATION: How I use BetterHelp's Scheduling System: BH allows Therapists to schedule in 30 or 45 minute blocks; however, I choose to only schedule 45-minute blocks. If you choose to work with me and you only want a shorter 30-minute session, no problem...just let me know when we start the session and/or schedule for only a 30 minute increment. If you want to go the full 60 minutes....no problem....just let me know that too. I'll work with you. NOTICE FOR COURT CASES / FMLA / SERVICE ANIMALS / OTHER: If your primary focus in seeking therapy is only related to obtaining or submitting documentation (FMLA, letters for emotional support animals, etc.) and/or related to intensive court involvement where therapy has been court ordered and where a therapist will be required to appear in court or submit reports to a court of law, please select another therapist / provider. I look forward to working with you!

Have you ever wondered why certain things affect you so strongly or cause you to space out, shut down or avoid a situation altogether seemingly on autopilot? Maybe you're secretly asking yourself "why does this situation always happen to me"? The short answer: dysfunctional stored memory. I am a EMDR trained therapist who is licensed in Florida with 3 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, & motivation, self esteem, and confidence. I also have experience working with depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. As an EMDR trained professional, my therapeutic approach differs from traditional talk therapy. EMDR stands for eye movement desensitization and reprocessing. It is a "bottom up" type of therapy that focuses on the past, present and future through regulation of the disturbances going on within such as intense emotions or sensations, images or non supportive thoughts. From an EMDR perspective, these symptoms exist in the present because of an unresolved memory, experience or event that either occurred or did not occur (I.e. emotional neglect from a caregiver) during childhood typically. We begin by with identifying your symptoms in the present, understanding the root causes behind those symptoms by delving into the past and then prepare you to handle situations in the future! Whether you are curious or have seen potential of EMDR, I welcome the opportunity to work with you as we tune within and navigate the mind-body connection with the intention of being able of promoting wholeness from the inside out.

Frequently asked questions (FAQs) about therapists and mental health services
Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Melbourne area can be found below:
How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Melbourne therapist?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Melbourne due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- Counseling with therapists: $100-300
- Therapy with a clinician: $100
While many psychologists in Melbourne may not take health insurance, some in the state of Florida may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Florida you can expect significantly more affordable options, with sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Melbourne?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Melbourne therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, such as art therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?
Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based licensed clinician in Melbourne, Florida can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.
Melbourne has many clinicians who practice person or client-centered individual therapy in-person and through online sessions to assist clients in their healing journey. If you opt into online therapy, you might also be able to meet with providers all over the United States and change easily at any time. Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.
Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
