I am a licensed clinical social worker, certified addictions professional and an advanced heart-centered hypnotherapist in Florida with over 10 years of experience working as a therapist- counselor and hypnotherapist. I work with many different types of clients with a wide range of concerns: depression, anxiety, codependency, coping with process addictions to people / behaviors and substances, LGBT-related issues, relationship issues, spirituality, career challenges, trauma or emotional abuse. My counseling style is a mix between warm, interactive, thoughtful, and client centered. I go where you feel you want and need to go. My orientation is that I believe you have the power to heal yourself. I believe in being fully present to my clients so that I can truly hear what is in their heart. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines helping you sort through how you think, what you are saying to yourself; how you feel – as a way of watching what flags your body is sending up that you need to be aware of, and what patterns you use to cope (past and present) to see how they work, and do not work, for you now. I use regular talking therapy and if we both agree it will be helpful, I also some occasional light hypnotherapy as well to supplement / support the regular talking therapy. I am also a SMART Recovery facilitator and conversant with 12-Step Programs. My interventions with addictions and compulsions (with behaviors, people, substances) combines SMART Recovery work (known as Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy) as well as looking at underlying causes of hurt and avoidance to help my clients be more present to themselves so that they can move through the avoidance of addiction and forward to recovery. I have formal theological training in Christian, Jewish, Buddhist, Hindu, Pagan and other religions and spiritualties. I have worked with clients from many different mainstream, alternative and minority religions, non-religions, philosophies and spiritualities. I celebrate and fully support how each individual client chooses to connect to what is meaningful for them. I believe that how we connect with ourselves, others, and the universe as we personally understand it can be a potentially important personal resource. I tailor dialog and treatment planning to you as an individual with your unique and specific needs. Therapy is about personal transformation, moving into an expression of your highest and best self. I love to watch and support people consciously working to move themselves forward on their Life Path. When you are ready to change and move forward, I am here to hold space for you in your work. PAPERWORK BEFORE YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT: New Florida laws require that I get all of my Clients, including my Clients here in BetterHelp, to sign legally required paperwork before I can see / work with them. When you initially reach out to me here in BetterHelp I will ask you for your first and last name, email address and phone number and then email you a link so you can sign the legally required paperwork. Its easy, its free and allows me to work with you here in BetterHelp. SCHEDULING INFORMATION: How I use BetterHelp's Scheduling System: BH allows Therapists to schedule in 30 or 45 minute blocks; however, I choose to only schedule 45-minute blocks. If you choose to work with me and you only want a shorter 30-minute session, no problem...just let me know when we start the session and/or schedule for only a 30 minute increment. If you want to go the full 60 minutes....no problem....just let me know that too. I'll work with you. NOTICE FOR COURT CASES / FMLA / SERVICE ANIMALS / OTHER: If your primary focus in seeking therapy is only related to obtaining or submitting documentation (FMLA, letters for emotional support animals, etc.) and/or related to intensive court involvement where therapy has been court ordered and where a therapist will be required to appear in court or submit reports to a court of law, please select another therapist / provider. I look forward to working with you!
