When counseling, I look at the whole person not just the current situation. I take time to get to know you and understand your situation and/or concerns. I treat all my clients with the utmost respect and compassion. I use motivational skills to help my patients see their strengths and help them create achievable goals. I believe in breaking the big goal into smaller goals that lead to meeting that larger goal. I believe this creates positive reinforcement for my clients and improves their emotional health, during what could be a difficult time in their life. I look forward to helping you improve your mental health, one step at a time. I have 6 years of experience working with depression, anxiety, bipolar, addictions and co-occurring.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session I will get to know you and ask a lot of questions regarding both mental health and physical health. I also allow for questions you may have towards the end of our session.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I have been licensed in Florida for 7 years as a therapist and working on year three in my own practice. I also hold a license as a Master Certified Addiction Specialist. I have worked with those dealing with active addiction to those in recovery, for the past 7 years. I am also a Nationally Certified Counselor, which is awarded based on education and expertise. I am also licensed in Virginia, Georgia and Connecticut .
