I'm a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) located in Florida. I have worked with teens and adults who may be struggling with feeling overwhelmed, stressed, nervous, or hopeless. My counseling style is pretty casual and conversational. I have been described as laid back, open minded, easy going, understanding, supportive, and a good sense of humor. I am a non-judgmental, safe space for you to be open and honest about the hard stuff.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, my first goal is to create a comfortable and safe space where you can openly express yourself without judgment. We'll start by getting to know each other, discussing your reasons for seeking therapy, and exploring your goals and expectations for our time together. I'll provide an overview of how therapy works and answer any questions or concerns you may have. We'll also discuss confidentiality and the therapeutic process, so that you feel informed and empowered throughout. Our initial session may involve some assessment or exploration of your background and current challenges to help me gain a deeper understanding of your unique experiences that have led to where you are now. By the end of our first session, you can expect to have a clearer understanding of what therapy entails and how it can benefit you. Together, we'll lay the groundwork for our future sessions and begin working towards positive change and growth in your life.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strengths are my ability to empathize, listen deeply, and create a supportive environment where clients feel valued and understood. I approach therapy with compassion, authenticity, and a genuine desire to help others navigate life's challenges and achieve their goals. I want to build a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust, respect, and collaboration, recognizing that each person is unique and deserving of personalized care. I use a variety of evidence-based techniques and interventions to modify treatment to the specific needs and preferences of each client. I'm committed to ongoing learning and professional development, staying informed about the latest research and best practices in the field, allowing me to continuously refine my skills and adapt my approach to better serve the ever changing needs of my clients. Overall, I believe my strengths as a provider lie in my genuine compassion for others, my dedication to fostering growth and healing, and my commitment to providing high-quality, client-centered care.
