Hi. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the Orlando, Florida area. I have resided in this area for more than 30 years. Prior to moving to Orlando, I served in the U.S. Army and now a Veteran. I attended college in Orlando with both my Bachelors and Masters from University of Central Florida. I have worked for Department of Children and Families Protective Services and Investigation for children for 16 years before. Towards the last five years of my DCF career, I began my Masters program in Social Work. After graduating, I began to work on my licensure in therapy.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we would like to establish the reason why you are seeking services. It is crucial to at least come up with one main goal during the session and you are able to work on two other goals for homework the next week. I work towards making your visit as comfortable for you because it is important to feel safe and heard, as well as understood.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength as a therapist is that I actually incorporate the techniques which I utilize in sessions. I believe in the methods I implement in the sessions and have seen many positive results.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have been working with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Cognitive Restructuring for over 8 years.I find when clients are able to understand their emotional responses and create neutral or hopefully positive outcomes, they are able to lessen their anxiety and symptoms of depression. I believe this approach works when one has negative thoughts or possible irrational thinking. The importance of reframing can not be stressed enough. Using this technique will make you think you have a super power which it is.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
Within the last five years, I have been using this approach more often especially with client that are affected with anxiety, PTSD and depression. I encourage clients to implement this approach in their daily life for best outcome. Several techniques use is different types of breathing method, mindfulness pauses through out the day, guided meditation to help with self esteem, positive emotions and motivation as well as anxiety and symptoms of depression. Using meditation on walks or in peaceful spaces. This is something I practice in my life and encourage client to work on it as well to ease their symptoms of anxiety and depression.
Positive Psychology
I have been working with the approach of Positive Psychology for the last five years. This technique focuses on the character strengths and behaviors that allow individuals to build a life of meaning and purpose—to move beyond surviving to thriving. For some of my clients, they may have difficulty in feeling happy. This approach can help them zone in within themselves to find their peace. Positive psychology emphasizes meaning and deep satisfaction, not just on fleeting happiness. This approach works well for clients suffering from anxiety and depression as well as low self esteem.
