I am a licensed marriage and family therapist licensed in Florida with 12 years of experience. I have worked with clients experiencing many different life issues that range from post traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain injury, depression, career workplace issues, grief and loss (death, friendship/relationship changes) and a myriad of other challenges that also include religious abuse (I work with a lot of religious/spiritual minority groups). I have also helped many people from marginalized communities who are experiencing discrimination and equity issues. My counseling style is warm, optimistic, and with a sense of humor. I believe that our challenges in life don't have to define our present or future. I am a stickler for treating others with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. While my approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, solution-focused counseling, the research demonstrates that the therapeutic alliance is key in client success. I will tailor the counseling experience to meet your unique, specific needs while also focusing keen attention on our alliance. Lastly, I appreciate the courage that it took for you to seek counseling. I am here to work collaboratively and dynamically with you. I look forward to meeting you!

I’m Nakei (pronounced Na-Key) and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who have had the pleasure of assisting individuals who faced challenges in areas just like you.

I enjoy helping people see that every life challenge presents a chance for personal development and learning, even when the road ahead seems tough. Embrace the idea that the journey may be unclear, recognizing that it is within life's unpredictability that true transformations occur.
