I started this journey of helping others in 2004 when I decided to make Mental Health a career choice. After earning a master's degree, I accepted my first paid position at Phoenix House of Brandon, FL and fell deeper in love with helping people emerge from whatever darkness they were experiencing in their lives. My passion is counseling those who struggle with various addictive behaviors (substance use, problem gambling, etc.) and co-occurring lifestyle issues. I have found person-centered, strength-based, and empathic approaches encourage clients to discover their capabilities for living a healthy, positive lifestyle.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Clients can expect someone who listens to them and understands the issues they are experiencing.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strength is my ability to connect with others on many levels. Through this connection, individuals discover the causes of their issues and make a plan to overcome and thrive.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I am a person-centered therapist who helps clients identify their troubles, their thoughts about the issues, and teach them how to restructure negative thinking to facilitate growth and change.
EMDR
I assist clients in processing negative/traumatic events in their lives using bilateral stimulation and additional coping skills from eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). These tools help clients gain insights and improve thought processes concerning the negative events.
