I am a psychotherapist/mental health counselor licensed in the state of Florida with over 30 years of experience working in a community mental health setting. While I do not provide counseling anymore in my current professional capacity, I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns particularly those with severe mental illness including those with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, addiction, thought process disturbances, and affective/mood problems. On a limited basis, I also helped individuals who experienced emotional abuse. My counseling work is through the community mental health agency for which I work which I integrated in my administrative capacity to enhance my clinical expertise. I am an eclectic counselor who conducts my assessment from a psychodynamic/psychoanalytic and social learning perspective. My counseling approach is direct and interactive that combines cognitive-behavioral, social learning, motivational interviewing, solution-focused, and rational-emotive approaches. It is my belief that you have the solutions within you to overcome the challenges that you are facing, and I am here to guide you and uncover your inner strength. It does take courage to reach out for help in your search for a more fulfilling and happier life, and an even stronger courage to take the first step towards a change.

Hello! I am a Clinical Social Worker licensed in the state of Florida. I earned my Bachelor's degree from Brandeis University and completed my Master's degree at Florida International University. I spent much of my career in the non profit arena, working with children, adults and families experiencing a wide range of challenges. I have also supervised therapists and program directors. In addition to clinical activities, I was very involved with continuous quality improvement and quality assurance. This experience allowed me to ensure clinical services were effective, efficient and in compliance with best practice standards. Since there is really not one right way to conduct therapy, it is crucial to monitor the therapeutic interventions to make sure they are effective for each person and his or her unique situation. I am a very warm and caring person, and this can be seen during our first interaction. I truly value the individual and the situations they are currently addressing. Besides the warm and fuzzy , I am also able to view situations objectively and sensibly. I think quickly and positively. I believe in solution focused interventions, and utilize techniques from various approaches to reach goals in a timely manner; including Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Didactic Behavioral (DBT), Motivational Interviewing, Humanistic, Person Centered and Holistic. I am down to earth and have a great sense of humor too. (We all need to laugh sometimes!)
