I am a clinical mental health counselor licensed in Florida and Hawaii with seven years of experience. Counseling is my second career path, as I am also a licensed pharmacist with over 28 years of experience. I have worked with many clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is to work as a team with my clients to figure out what works best for them. I believe in treating all individuals from all walks of life with respect and compassion. My theoretical approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy, reality therapy, brief solution-focused therapy, career/vocational counseling, and mindfulness. I will personalize our sessions and your therapeutic treatment plan to meet your unique needs and goals. It takes courage and strength to seek 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 look forward to working with you!

Hello and thank you for viewing my profile. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in both New York and Florida, with over 27 years of experience in counseling, personal development, and mental health coaching. I approach our work together from a collaborative, strength-based perspective on mental wellness. My practice focuses on a whole-person model of care, emphasizing dignity, respect, sensitivity, and choice. I intentionally avoid stigmatizing labels and deficit-focused language, fostering a safe, non-judgmental environment where growth and healing can happen. I help adults navigating major life transitions overcome feelings of anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, low self-esteem, self-sabotaging thoughts, or limiting beliefs. Through compassionate, person-centered care, I offer practical strategies to rebuild confidence and gain clarity. Sessions are not just about talking but about developing skills and designing actionable steps toward conflict resolution, increased self-awareness of unhelpful thoughts & patterns of behavior, and decreasing negative self-talk. Together, as a team, we will create a personalized plan for meaningful growth, self-acceptance, and lasting transformation.
