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.

I became a social worker because I like what social worker stands for. The social worker works with individuals, families, groups, and communities. Social workers work in an effort to meet the basic needs of an individual and enhance an individual social functioning, self-determination, optimal health, and overall well-being. I enjoy meeting people and am interested in listening to their stories. My work is rooted in helping each person reach their goals. Earning a bachelor’s degree in Social Work from Florida Atlantic University alongside my master’s degree in Social Work from Florida International University I focus on addressing the needs of the community and individuals by providing therapeutic services. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, my treatment approach is client-centered, strength-based, and cognitive behavioral therapy. I also use solution-focused practices that compliment my motivational interviewing skills to drive positive results within my client base.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in sunny South Florida, I've been lucky to work with individuals facing addiction and mental health challenges for over five years. I earned my master's degree in social work from Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, where I gained valuable experience in providing individual and group therapy services for the treatment of substance use disorders and co-occurring psychiatric conditions at all levels of care. My approach is client-centered, and I tailor my techniques to meet your unique needs. Whether we connect via phone, or chat, my goal is to support you in achieving your mental health and wellness goals. My experience has prepared me to help with a variety of issues, such as anxiety, depression, codependency, career-related concerns, trauma, and grief and loss. I'm dedicated to creating a safe, compassionate, and non-judgmental space where you can feel at ease exploring your struggles and working toward positive change. I understand that finding the right therapist and the right mode of communication is crucial for effective therapy. While many clients prefer live video sessions, I want to assure you that phone calls and live chat can be equally effective, especially if you’re waiting for a therapist to become available. 1. **Flexibility and Convenience**: Phone calls and live chat sessions offer greater flexibility, allowing you to connect with me from anywhere, whether you’re at home, at work, or on the go. This can be particularly helpful if you have a busy schedule or limited access to a private space for video calls. 2. **Immediate Support**: Sometimes, waiting for a video session can delay the support you need. With phone calls and live chat, you can receive timely assistance and continue your therapeutic progress without interruption. 3. **Comfort and Privacy**: Some clients find it easier to open up and discuss sensitive topics without the pressure of being on camera. Phone calls and live chat provide a level of anonymity that can make it easier to express your thoughts and feelings. 4. **Effective Communication**: Research has shown that the therapeutic relationship and the quality of communication are more important than the mode of delivery. Phone and chat sessions allow us to build a strong, trusting relationship and work effectively towards your goals. **Let’s Get Started** If you’re ready to take the next step, I’m here to help. Feel free to reach out and schedule a session. Together, we can find the best way to communicate and work towards your well-being.
