Hi! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I earned my Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from New England College in 2019, and I’ve been working in the field for over 7 years. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients. I’ve supported individuals dealing with challenges such as addiction, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, and many other mental health concerns. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique needs and goals.
In our first session, we’ll begin with a brief introduction. I’ll share some background information about myself, as well as review my policies and procedures to ensure we’re all on the same page. After that, we’ll dive into your background so I can get to know you better. We’ll also discuss why you’re seeking therapy, why now feels like the right time, and what you hope to achieve through the process.
Having worked in the field for the last 7 years, I’ve come to believe that actions and homework are essential for achieving the results you’re hoping for. Each week, we’ll discuss the issues you’re facing, then collaborate to create actions and homework that will help you build skills and make progress between sessions. In our next session, we’ll review what worked, what didn’t, and what adjustments we can make moving forward to continue improving.
I love working with clients who are not only interested in better understanding their mental health, but who are also motivated to build tools and skills they can apply in their everyday lives. My goal is to help clients develop strategies they can use not just between sessions, but long after therapy ends—so they feel confident navigating challenges on their own.
Using motivational interviewing I help clients to see that they possess the strength and ability to grow and change—even if past attempts at change have failed.
Cognitive behavioral therapy is a psycho-social intervention that aims to reduce symptoms of various mental health conditions, primarily depression and anxiety disorders. Cognitive behavioral therapy is one of the most effective means of treatment for substance abuse and co-occurring mental health disorders.
Person-centered therapy operates on the humanistic belief that the client is inherently driven toward and has the capacity for growth and self-actualization; it relies on this force for therapeutic change. The role of the counselor is to provide a nonjudgmental environment conducive to honest self-exploration.
