LCSW, 23 years of experience
Hi! I am an LCSW in Florida, licensed in Florida, Texas, Alabama. and Illinois. I obtained my Masters from the University of South Florida in 2000. I live in the Orlando area and have been doing telehealth since 2020. I practice a variety of approaches because not one size fits all. I believe in resiliency and have a strengths based perspective. When I am not helping others, I am spending time with my family enjoying the local theme parks, beaches for which Florida is famous, or watching my son play baseball.
In our first session, I would like to get to know who you are, what brought you to therapy, and better understand what you would like to achieve. I am happy to answer any questions you might have so we can determine if we are a good fit for each other. I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where you feel free to really express your thoughts and feelings and know you are the priority.
I am experienced with working with a diverse group of individuals and am an attuned listener who will help you to identify your own strengths, empower you to see the problems in your life in a different way, and achieve goals you set.
I love working with women who may be struggling with life balance, self worth, relationship issues, life transitions (from forming a sense of identity to empty nest) work to problem solve, find new ways of viewing themselves and life, and cope with the stress of their situations.
