Hi! I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I received my masters in 2019 from New England College and have been working in the field for 6 years. Over those six years I have worked with a wide range of clients and have helped clients who struggle with addiction, depression, anxiety, bi polar, and many other diagnosis's.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we will do a brief introduction. I will give you background information on myself, as well as, go over all my policies and procedures. From there we will get into a brief background about yourself, so I can get to know you better. Then from there we will get into why therapy, why now, and what you are hoping to get out of the process.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked in the field for the last 6 years I have come to believe actions and homework will help you get the results you are hoping to achieve. We will talk through issues each week and then come up with actions and homework to help you improve your skills between sessions. Then we will review what worked, what didn't, and what we could improve for the following week.

Motivational Interviewing
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 (CBT)
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 (Rogerian)
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.
