I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!

Hello! Welcome to the BetterHelp Community! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 7 years of experience working as a therapist. I graduated from Florida Atlantic University with a Master in Social Work. I am passionate about supporting people in accomplishing their goals and finding solutions to the challenges they may be facing. Throughout my experience, I have worked with adult individuals, couples, and families that are experiencing a variety of different problems. I have worked with those struggling with various addictions, mental health diagnoses, physical health conditions, trauma, and varying life problems. I view the therapeutic relationship as the most important aspect of counseling. We will work together as a team and you are the expert of your own unique, life experiences. Former clients have mentioned to me in the past that when working with me, they feel understood and don't feel judged. I treat each individual with respect, compassion, and acceptance. I take an empathetic and patient approach when working with my clients. Everyone's problems are different and my counseling style will be tailored to fit your individual needs to progress through your identified treatment goals. I will spend time asking you questions to get to know you better and to improve my understanding of your own personal experiences. This information is important in building the therapeutic relationship and to discuss your goals for counseling. I may assign "homework" in-between our sessions to reinforce skills or topics of our conversations. These homework assignments may include techniques to practice, completing worksheets, or thinking and writing exercises. I commend you for taking the vulnerable step toward seeking help. Change can be very scary and overwhelming however, can open the door to endless opportunities to empower and improve your life. I would love to help and support you on your journey to overcome these challenges. I look forward to working with you!

It's important to consider changing the way you think about your life. Making changes involves understanding that it's okay to reach out for help and support. Life is full of challenges, and each of us has our own unique perspective. I believe that everyone faces mental health struggles at some point. Grief and loss can take many forms, from losing a job or a loved one to feeling isolated, experiencing difficulty sleeping, relationship issues, lack of effective communication and/or dealing with depression and anxiety. Family issues and feeling like you lack the ability to lead a happier life can also contribute to feelings of loss. I've been privileged to work with clients like yourself who have bravely reached out to gain a better understanding of themselves. Remember, there are no quick fixes, and true self-discovery happens when you open yourself up to the challenge of examining your life. As a licensed therapist in Florida with 20 years of professional work experience, I've had the honor of supporting clients dealing with a wide range of issues, including stress, anxiety, relationship challenges, grief and loss, and motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I truly believe that you are the expert of your own story, and I'm here to help you recognize and harness your strengths to overcome life's obstacles. I understand that taking the step to seek therapy can be daunting, and I want to commend you for your courage in taking this first step.
