I am a licensed psychotherapist with extensive experience serving diverse populations struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, and various medical conditions such as cancer and chronic illness. I believe the most important catalyst for change is the relationship between therapist and client. My goal is to partner with you to reach your desired goals in a therapeutic environment. We will take these steps together to foster positive change while creating individual strategies for self-empowerment. I have been trained in EMDR which is a theory based on the belief that our brains have a natural system for processing information and experiences so that we can keep what we need for wisdom, learning, and growth. EMDR uses eye movements and other right-left stimulation to activate your brain’s processing system so you can successfully process past experiences and let go of what is not useful to you. I believe our past effects our present and future- both in adaptive and maladaptive ways. I would be honored to be a part of your journey to emotional wellbeing, inner peace, and self-love

Mental Wellness Specialties: Stress, AnxietyLGBTIntimacy-related issuesSelf esteemDepression
8 years offering treatment
I have been working in the mental health field for over 8 years working with clients through a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, intimacy, mood disorders, and impulsiveness. I use a positive and nonjudgmental approach in my counseling and I strongly believe in the importance of accepting who we truly are to find a sense of peace. Where one person sees a weakness, I see a strength that has not been polished yet. I would love to be the person who laughs and cries with you as we explore your life and other areas you want to discuss. My therapeutic approaches are very eclectic and will largely depend on the reasons you wish to speak with a therapist as well as how it matches with your personality. My main approaches in counseling include DBT, CBT, Solution-Focused Counseling, Gestalt, and Person-Centered. Why I might be the right therapist for you: I meet you where you are at emotionally, but I will provide gentle nudges to help you continue to flourish in life. I am not on BetterHelp to make money. I am currently one of two mental health educators in the state of Florida (teaching therapists how to do therapy in prison); I am on BetterHelp because I love therapy and I am unable to do therapy in my current position. I will not have a full caseload as some other therapists will have on here, giving me more time to put my energy into the select few clients I work with. I have a broad history of working in different populations such as teens (most of my experience has been working with juvenile males, but I have also worked with females regarding depression and anxiety), kiddos, adults in the community and incarcerated, sexual disorders, and adults in inpatient treatment. If you think it, I've probably already heard it or seen it, meaning I won't have any judgment toward you and your thoughts/behaviors. My goal is to work myself out of a job, meaning I want you to feel better. If you're willing to put the work in, so am I.
