I am a licensed mental health professional in Florida, with 20+ years of experience. My approach to therapy focuses on a positive and empowering approach, encompassing a range of techniques from different theories. I will assist you in focusing on your strengths and how you can increase your own resilience and adaptability to help you through difficult times versus focusing trying to change things beyond your control. I believe that mental health is a lifestyle, just as we need to maintain our physical health, mental health requires work and attention too. Mental health is not a 2-sided concept--it is not that you are or you are not mentally healthy, think of it as more of a continuum or spectrum with optimal functioning on end and least optimal functioning on the other end. Where is your health on the spectrum and how can we help you move more into the optimal direction? There are no quick fixes or magic cures for all that troubles you, but with some lifestyle adjustments you can improve your overall well-being. I would like to help you examine your life and create lifestyle improvements that are unique to your needs and abilities.

I became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in 2003. I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in General Psychology from the University of North Carolina at Asheville in 1997, then completed my Master of Science degree in Marriage and Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University in 1999. I have spent the majority of my career working with individuals, couples and families coping with mental health issues, change, loss and all types of chronic illness and trauma-related disorders. I am currently in practice specializing in couples' issues, family systems issues, women's issues, and supporting first responders and other highly achieving professionals and individuals coping with depression, anxiety, complex trauma, and bereavement. I am also a Certified Alzheimer’s Level I and II Trainer through the University of South Florida, providing dementia-specific training and support to family caregivers as well as healthcare professionals. Additionally, I am CISM-trained to provide crisis intervention to first responders, schools, and other local community organizations who have endured a sudden loss or traumatic event. I am trained in CBT, mindfulness meditation practices, EMDR, and hypnotherapy. I have experience not only in non-profit agency roles, but have also worked in healthcare administration, including clinical work in integrative medicine, oncology, psychiatry, substance abuse, and dementia-specific services. Additionally, I was on faculty at the University of Phoenix, teaching virtual classes for the College of Health Sciences and Nursing for ten years. My next goal is to become a Certified Integrative Mental Health Professional, which will align my training and experience to optimize my client's healing, both the mind and the body, with a focus on healthy recovery in all aspects of wellness. Other aspirations include becoming a published book author, and expanding my hypnotherapy practice to focus on integrative health and wellness therapies for those who are eager and motivated to transform their lives.
