My clients say that they really appreciate the feeling that I am "on their side" helping them understand how to cope and deal with life. I always say if the behavior you are doing is getting you what you want out of life, keep doing it! If not, let's work together to see what we can change so you can get what you want out of life. I am a good listener and try to be the kind of counselor that I needed myself but never could find. I use mindfulness in my practice and truly believe Jon Kabat Zin when he said " As long as you are breathing, there is more right with you than wrong with you, no matter what is wrong". I work with my clients to help them develop insights. I try to teach them coping skills and tools so they can recognize life's little landmines and be able to navigate through and around them. Everyone has strengths and we explore yours so you can put them to the highest use in your life. Let's face it, life is not supposed to be painful and confusing. For some people it is. A good therapist can help you find your way out of the woods and to feel better, do better and prosper. I really love working with clients and am proud of the progress my clients in my private practice have made. Maybe I can help you too. My goal is to help you find better solutions through mindfulness, kindness, compassion and to add a little humor. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Board Certified Patient Advocate. I am also Certified as a Life Coach. But most importantly, I am a human being just like you and people say I have the knack for helping them feel better.

Do you often second-guess yourself? Do you have a hard time remembering some things? Do you often wonder why you do and say the things that you do and say? Do you feel anxious about… everything? Our lives are like puzzles. Some scenes and pictures are more complicated than others and require assistance being put together. The pieces often get mixed up, flipped over, and sometimes put in the wrong box. I'm here to help you flip those pieces over and arrange them in their appropriate spots to help you gain perspective, increase your self-awareness, and develop healthy coping mechanisms in a safe, relaxing, validating, and judgment free environment. I empower individuals in overcoming anxiety, setting boundaries, and identifying and processing traumatic or life altering events that may have been overlooked. Together we take a holistic approach, addressing your physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual self, as well as the different roles you play in your daily life. Therapy should not be a scary experience. Connecting with your therapist is an important part of the therapeutic process. My laid back and humorous approach offers a welcoming environment that helps put you at ease and open up. My own personal physical disability also offers assistance in connecting with and relating to individuals with physical struggles. I know it’s hard to believe, but one size does NOT fit all. Different injuries call for different treatments. You wouldn't slap a Band-Aid on a severed limb, just like you wouldn't get stitches for a paper cut. If left untreated and ignored, initial injuries have a way of creating more and bigger injuries. Getting to know you and listening to your story helps me guide you to the most appropriate treatments. Imagine a warm, calm, inviting environment with no judgments and open conversations. An environment where therapy is enjoyable. I value comfort and safety when establishing therapeutic relationships.

I am licensed in Florida with 3 years of professional work experience. To give you some information on my educational and career back ground, not only do I provide therapeutic services through the BetterHelp platform, I am also an adjunct Psychology Professor, at The University of Arizona Global Campus. In addition to teaching, my main occupation is working with Veterans and military families as a Primary Care Mental Health Integration (PCMHI) Licensed Clinical Psychologist within the Department of Veterans Affairs, located in Cape Coral, Florida. Regarding my clinical background, I received my M.A. and Psy.D. in Clinical Psychology from Midwestern University – Downers Grove Campus in 2022, after completing my doctoral internship in Health Psychology at Richard L. Roudebush VAMC in Indianapolis, IN. In 2023, I completed my Post Doctoral Fellowship in Neuropsychology & Geropsychology at the Bruce W. Carter VA Medical Center in Miami, FL. Currently, my clinical interests combine aspects of Clinical Psychology and Health Psychology, focusing on the impacts regarding cognition that health-related behaviors such as medication adherence, smoking, as well as diet and exercise all have. In addition to working with civilian populations, I am highly motivated to explore these clinical interests specifically working with service members, veterans, and their families. Presently, I am also an active advocate for extending military cultural awareness to members of my professional and personal community, serving as a member of the American Psychological Association's Society for Military Psychology. In combining my clinical interests and advocacy for service members, I dedicated my doctoral dissertation to understanding the efficacy and effectiveness of various components of biofeedback therapy for the treatment of PTSD in both civilian and service members. I expanded upon my research with service members and dedicated my post-doctoral research to understanding the needs of veterans living with dementia, incapacitating neurodegenerative diseases, or physical illness, to improve healthcare services, quality of life, and communication with providers from multiple specialties and disciplines. Following the completion of my research, I was offered and accepted a leadership position within the Department of Veteran's Affairs as Webinar Coordinator for the Early Career Psychologist Special Interest Group (ECP SIG), and have utilized my position to build a PCMHI Memory Clinic for Veterans at the VA location where I am employed. I currently am the program director of the PCMHI Memory Clinic where I am able to provide same day memory care, including assessment and brief cognitive rehabilitation to Veterans who are suffering from cognitive decline or impairment. Lastly, I serve as the suicide prevention - primary care coordinator to connect Veterans, who call into our crisis line, with mental health services and provide them with immediate aid. As evidenced from my experiences noted above, I have experience in helping clients with a plethora of challenges including, but not limited to, somatic and health-related issues, neurocognitive disorders, stress and anxiety, relationship issues, motivation, self esteem, confidence, depression, and women's issues. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process.
