I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the State of Florida and have been practicing for 10 years.

A great deal of my therapeutic work has been with clients experiencing a broad range of concerns including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, relationship issues, career challenges, OCD, eating disorders, and ADHD.

I believe in helping clients gain new perspectives and insights in order to bring about positive change in their lives. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida . I practice a multifaceted approach of: Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Solution Based Theray, and Existentialism. I tailor treatment to the client’s needs allowing for individualized care. My counseling style is open and provides clients an area where they can explore the root of their current distress with no judgement and a sense of ease. My aim as your counselor is to allow you to put down the emotional baggage you have been carrying around and be free of that weight. I will help my clients navigate stressful decisions and/or situations in a safe environment. Together, we will focus on identifying your strengths and helping you to maximize them to overcome your obstacles. I'm here to help you sort through the things that are difficult right now, and offer you a safe place to be open and honest without fear of judgment. I encourage mindfulness techniques in my practice (i.e. meditation, deep breathing exercises, yoga, etc.) I am holistic in my approach and tailor therapy to the client’s needs. That said, I also believe in the power of medicine ( psychiatry), and have seen first hand the benefits of medicine, in conjunction with therapy, have for an individual. The ultimate goal of my style of counseling is to leave the client with a sense of security in their abilities to cope with life and to ultimately be happier and their own healer. Counseling can be just as important as physical exercise in terms of a mental workout. If you plan to have an impact in this world or just live your life, then you will most likely experience stress and negative emotions as a part of life. It is not only brave but healthy to seek out help as we all need it and are not immune to the trials that life puts in our way. A lot of life is out of our control but we find ways to react to it that allow us to thrive. I studied at the University of Central Florida earning a Bachelor of Science in Psychology and at Nova Southeastern University where I earned a Master's in Mental Health Counseling. I spent a majority of my undergraduate degree studying and working in the anxiety clinic and the media and migrations lab on campus. There I participated in research designed to help alleviate anxiety symptoms and specific phobias. While earning my Master's degree I worked with at risk youths and young adults who were exposed to high degrees of stress. My post- graduate work was spent working with adults who suffered with addiction and mental health disorders. I worked with ages ranging from 9 to 60+ years of age throughout the past 12 years. A majority of my experience is in: stress management, depression, anxiety, constant worry, guilt, shame, fear, and life changes. Once we decide to work together, I will challenge you to consider the areas in your life that are harmful to your mental health and how to begin to change them in order to live a healthier and happier way. Counseling doesn’t have to have a long time frame, and healing can happen faster once we harness your already built skill set in session. I am looking forward to helping you find the peace and/or path you are looking for to live the life you want. You are taking the first in healing, I know it’s not easy, but I am here to help you . You don’t have to go this alone.
