I have been practicing professional counseling since 1991. I am a licensed mental health counselor, and my license is from Florida. Much of my work has been trauma-related. As such I have worked not only with individuals who have experienced trauma, but also with their loved ones (spouse, family) so that all understand the dynamics related to trauma. For some trauma-sufferers, substance misuse has become a way of coping with the intrusive thoughts and feelings. I can help with substance misuse, also. My counseling framework/practice includes cognitive-behavioral, transtheoretical (the Stage of Change model), solution-focused, and humanistic-existential. I believe we all have four majors components to our lives: biological, psychological, social, and spiritual. Effective counseling addresses all four areas, though not all at the same time.

I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I don't believe in focusing on stigmatizing labels. Diagnosis is helpful to understand the symptoms and etiology. My approach is strength based and empowering. I use therapy styles such as cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, psychodynamic and mindfulness therapy. As a social worker I take strong consideration in a systems perspective. I believe its important to understand the whole person and all of the macro and micro systems that have affected the individual. Treatment will be tailored to meet your unique and individual needs. It takes a lot of courage and willingness to take that first step in seeking help which can have a dramatic and life long positive affect. If you are ready to move forward in this journey, I am here to guide you. I look forward to working with you!
