"Life is all about how we handle plan B" (Suzy Toronto) I love this quote! This is what all of us struggle with. It is difficult to cope with situations, relationships, and our health when things do not go how we had planned. I believe counseling can help with life's challenges to find healthy ways to adapt. I work with adults in the areas of depression, anxiety, and bereavement. I enjoy helping clients build coping skills to deal with the stressors and conditions that impact their growth and happiness. My counseling approach is warm and inclusive, sprinkled with some humor, to help people work through the distress that we experience in life.

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

The first session is typically an information gathering session about your personal history, areas of concern you have and what your main goals are for therapy. At the end of the first session, we will develop goals for your treatment plan and how often we will meet as well as establish the treatment approach to meet those goals. I may also send you information to review before our next session to begin work on your goals.

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

My practice involves a special emphasis on maternal health, addressing reproductive challenges, pregnancy loss, and postpartum depression, anxiety and adjustment. I am a Certified Perinatal Mental Health Professional through Postpartum Support International. Learning strategies to cope with the fears that appear during a subsequent pregnancy after a loss is also a specialty of my practice. I co-facilitated a perinatal loss group in Brevard County for over eight years and continue to connect couples with perinatal support in their community.
