Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. I received my masters in Rehabilitation and Mental Health from the University of South Florida. I work with my clients on their mental health struggles (trauma/PTSD, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, addiction, and coping skills to name a few) to enable them to manage their mental health so it is not interfering with their daily functioning and they can be the best version of themselves.

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

Our first session will be primarily a get-to-know-you session. We will review any assessments already completed and may complete other questionnaires/assessments depending on your needs. I will go over what sessions will look like on an ongoing basis, and what modes of therapy I primarily use. You will have an opportunity to ask questions as well. And finally I will get an overview from you of what you are seeking therapy for so that we can plan where we will start.

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

I have worked with many different types of clients as well as a diverse selection of issues. I am a good listener and try to create a warm, soothing environment in which to share. I am non-judgmental and open-minded. I am a flexible and casual person.

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

I love working with people on their mental health issues so that they can meet challenges that come up with tools to enable them to successfully navigate life's situations. My clients are eager to learn about their mental health as well as tools to enable them to successfully manage any issues that may arise. They may often feel stuck or unsure of what to do or how to handle what they may be going through, but together we work to create plans to change their situation.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as my treatment method. CBT holds the belief that our behaviors, thoughts, and emotions are all interconnected and act/react on each other. For example feeling certain emotions can make us have certain thoughts or behaviors. I will work with you to effectively manage your emotions, thoughts and behaviors for better daily functioning.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I also use Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in my practice along side the CBT. With DBT you will learn about Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Distress Tolerance, and Emotional Regulation.
