LMHC, 8 years of experience
Greetings! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor based in Florida. I received my Masters degree from Florida Gulf Coast University and have been practicing for 8 years. I aid various populations in navigating formative, stressful & traumatic life phases, events and situations. My primary focus is symptom reduction & stabilization, skills building and destigmatizing mental health care for individuals of all walks of life.
During our first session, we will review informed consent/confidentiality agreements as well as general overview of therapeutic structure. My primary focus is to build rapport with new clients while gathering historical information for assessment and diagnostic purposes. We will then explore specific challenges that you are currently facing to create a personalized treatment plan to work through in follow-up sessions.
Having worked with diverse populations for the past 8 years, I've developed an integrative approach to helping you identify the source of your challenges and develop solutions that lend measurable progress.
I primarily work with adults who struggle with interpersonal issues and co-occurring disorders. My clients are eager to learn healthy coping skills and process unresolved issues which impede baseline functioning, relationships and overall quality of life.
I take an eclectic approach to treatment in order to tailor treatment specific to individual client needs. My integrative method combines techniques such as cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral, psychoeducational and solution-focused.
