I am a licensed mental health counselor based in South Florida. I received my Master’s degree from Nova Southeastern university and have been practicing for 13 years. I help clients from various populations to manage issues related to mental illness, substance abuse and grief. I am willing to work alongside my clients to confront their deepest feelings, to probe entrenched and distorted thinking patterns that are disrupting the quality of your life, and cultivating the path to change.
In our first session together, I would love for you to tell me about yourself, your hopes, your strengths, and your values.
My ability to build quick rapport, empathetic, genuineness, culturally sensitive and being a good listener are my strengths as a provider. My non-judgmental approach, being supportive and my genuine interest in others are natural skills that add to my success with building a positive and trusting client-counselor relationship.
I have been using grief therapy techniques for the past 13 years to help clients process the raw emotions that loss can unapologetically thrust on us, leaving us stuck and dismayed - when the world has moved on, or doesn’t even regard as legitimate . I will hold the safe space to allow you to feel joy, happiness, sadness, anger - allowing you to grieve. Together we will work and navigate through the stages of your grief providing you with understanding of the emotions surrounding your grief, and developing coping skills to restore your sense of control to build long-term resilience, healing and meaning.
