Life is like a rollercoaster. You have ups and you have downs. It can be an enjoyable ride when life is easy, but the ride can get bumpy when we are experiencing the downs of life. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Florida. I received my Master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University. I have over 5 years’ experience providing therapeutic services to children, adolescents, and adults. I utilize a strengths based, solution oriented orientation when working with clients. I have experience working with clients experiencing trauma, anxiety, family conflict, life transitions, and post traumatic stress disorder. Congratulations on taking the first step towards change! I am excited to join you on your journey!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session we will go over paperwork as well as review consents to treatment. I will also open the floor for you to tell me about what brings you to therapy and what you would like your life to look like once counseling is over (I.e. less anxious, being more assertive, learning how to communicate more effective). We’ll also begin to develop goals that can direct our sessions (I.e. coping skills or communication skills).
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having worked with children and adults with trauma for over 5 years I have extensive training in trauma. I have been trained and received certification in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. I have extensive knowledge on trauma and how it affects us. I am skilled at assisting you with learning more about trauma and its effects on humans as well as ways to overcome trauma and receive healing. I am a strengths-based, solution oriented clinician.
