LMHC, 10 years of experience
Hi, I am a licensed therapist in Florida with 10 years of experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting issues and depression. I believe in treatment everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion. I tailor our session and treatment plan to meet your unique needs. Taking the first steps to sign up for therapy takes courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
In our first session, we will go over brief introductions and expectations then dive into the challenges you’re facing. We will create an action plan for us to work through together in our sessions. My goal is to help you foster self-awareness, strengthen your coping skills and move towards lasting healing and personal growth.
My strengths come from my extensive experience working with individuals facing severe and persistent mental illness in a residential setting as well in home therapy services which have allowed me to connect with people from many different walks of life. These experiences have deepened my understanding of trauma, substance use, and the resilience that exists within each person. My therapeutic approach is collaborative, person centered and grounded in evidence-based practices. I strive to create a supportive and nonjudgmental space where you feel safe to explore your experiences, gain insight and build practical tools for change.
I am best positioned to support individuals who are deeper understanding, healing and growth. Many of my clients who come to therapy feel overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or disconnected from themselves as they navigate the effects of trauma, anxiety, substance use or major life transitions. They often carry a strong desire to change but may feel uncertain where to start. Together, we can honor the coping skills that once helped you survive while creating space for new, healthier ways to manage life. My goal is for you to feel safe within yourself, build resilience and develop the confidence to live a life that feels aligned and empowered.
I incorporate CBT to help individuals identify and challenge unhealthy thought patterns, develop healthier coping strategies, and create meaningful changes in how they think, feel and respond to life's challenges.
I use MI to support individuals in exploring their own motivations for change, strengthening self-efficacy, and moving towards growth at a pace that feels authentic and sustainable. My experience using Mi has thought me the importance of meeting individuals where they are, honoring their autonomy and guiding them with curiosity and compassion as they uncover their readiness for change.
I use SFBT to help individuals identify their existing strengths and resources while building practical steps towards meaningful change. Through my experiences, I've found focusing on solutions-rather that solely on problems-empower individuals to recognize their own capacity for growth and resilience. My approach emphasizes on collaboration, optimism and highlighting what's already working, allowing individuals to gain clarity, confidence and a renewed sense of hope as they move forward.
I draw from person centered approach grounded in empathy, authenticity and unconditional positive regard to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel heard and valued. Through my experience, I've learned that genuine connection and trust are essential for growth, allowing individual to explore their experiences at their pace and discover their inner capacity for healing and change.
I incorporate a strength base approach that focusing on recognizing and building upon each individual existing abilities, resilience and inner resources. My experience working with individuals with diverse backgrounds has reinforced my belief that every person possesses the capacity for growth and by highlighting their inner strengths, individuals gain confidence and momentum to create lasting positive change.
