Therapists in Dunnellon, FL

Thank you for taking the time to view my profile! The field of psychology and behavior has been my academic and career path for over 10 years. My work is my passion and I enjoy watching others grown and flourish on their paths. I completed my Bachelors of Science in Psychology with concentrations in clinical rehabilitation and psychology of addictions in 2006 through Purdue University. While pursuing this degree, I aided in a longitudinal research study focused on intelligence and information processing through the Purdue Institute for Behavioral Sciences. While earning my Master’s, I volunteered for Riley’s Children Hospital as a behavior therapist with autistic children. During the same time, I also completed two practicums and internships (university setting and corrections), focusing my skills aiding adults with intense personal struggles and family dysfunction. While working with adults, I found my passion in those struggling daily with emotional concerns and addictions. My Master of Arts in clinical psychology was completed in 2008 at University of Indianapolis with a concentration in mental health counseling. Since then, I have worked in outpatient as well as inpatient settings, while also teaching psychology part-time as adjunct faculty for a local college. Thank you again for taking the time to learn some history about me and I look forward to sharing more of what I have learned through experience with you on your journey.

I am very excited to be able to provide services and connect with individuals that I could not otherwise thanks to this great medium! I currently practice in South Florida where I work with individuals dealing with interpersonal issues, substance abuse issues as well as relationship problems. I have dealt with families/couples who cannot get along but want to be ale to overcome their issues so that they can be in a happy place again. I also work with individuals who simply want to better themselves in order to reach their highest potential, or feel "stuck" at the current time.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in sunny South Florida, I've been lucky to work with individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges for over five years. I earned my master's degree in social work from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, where I gained valuable experience in providing individual and group therapy services for the treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions at all levels of care. My approach is client-centered, and I tailor my techniques to meet your unique needs.

My experience has prepared me to help with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, codependency, career-related concerns, trauma, and grief and loss. I'm dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel at ease exploring your struggles and working toward positive change. I understand that finding the right therapist and the right mode of communication is crucial for effective therapy. While many clients prefer live video sessions, I want to assure you that phone calls and live chat can be equally effective, especially if you’re waiting for a therapist to become available. 1. **Flexibility and Convenience**: Phone calls and live chat sessions offer greater flexibility, allowing you to connect with me from anywhere, whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go. This can be particularly helpful if you have a busy schedule or limited access to a private space for video calls. 2. **Immediate Support**: Sometimes, waiting for a video session can delay the support you need. With phone calls and live chat, you can receive timely assistance and continue your therapeutic progress without interruption. 3. **Comfort and Privacy**: Some clients find it easier to open up and discuss sensitive topics without the pressure of being on camera. Phone calls and live chat provide a level of anonymity that can make it easier to express your thoughts and feelings. 4. **Effective Communication**: Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship and the quality of communication are more important than the mode of delivery. Phone and chat sessions allow us to build a strong, trusting relationship and work effectively towards your goals. **Let’s Get Started** If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out and schedule a session. Together, we can find the best way to communicate and work towards your well-being.
