Hi there! I am a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist for residents of Florida and Minnesota. I received my Masters degree in Tampa, Florida and have been practicing for 10 years. I help adults get from point A to B by asking Solution-Focused questions. People have a lot more potential then they believe. My job as your Therapist is to ask you the questions that will make you think about your past accomplishments, skills/strengths, resources and experience and see if someway, somehow those 'solutions' can help you move forward in a more positive, productive way today.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

We are simply having am adult to adult conversation about change. Your life or relationship is not where you want it to be and you have hired a professional like myself to help you get where you want to go next. For 10 years I have loved what I do! We will NOT have constant discussions about all that is wrong in your life or relationship. We will have positive and productive conversations about what you desire instead and how that would look like moving forward. Even in this first session we will look at your past positive experiences and see if someway, somehow that could return and how life could be much better for you and your loved ones.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I am kind, personable, warm, empathetic, great listener, understanding, eager to help, ask the challenging questions to make you think, persistent in helping you get where you want to be next.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

Feeling disconnected with life and/or your relationship? Have you said something like this before: "Life does not have to be like this." You are correct it does not and you have come to the right place. We will work together to build solutions toward that better life, where you show that smile, use your sense of humor, be kind and most important be yourself. The world is missing the real you. I can't wait to meet you! For couples counseling I can help you and your partner reconnect, rebuild and restore your relationship. Through Solution-Focused Brief Therapy questions and your work in and out of the session, we can all discover what you want your relationship to look like in the future and I can share how change can take place. I have a special interest in helping couples through infidelity and intimacy issues.
