Licensed to practice in Florida and accepts 50 insurances. Specializes in Anger Management, Anxiety, Spirituality and 22 more.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Provider/ Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in the State of Florida. I graduated with a Master in Clinical Social Work (MSW) from Florida Gulf Coast University. Before my studies at FGCU, I was in the rental business and felt that I was in my calling when I did volunteer work helping people in the US and abroad. After much thought and consulting with family and friends, I decided I wanted to work more hands on helping hurting people through counseling. My philosophy is ultimately to make a difference in the world by helping hurting people.
The first session will be to gather information and understand. It will be an environment that is easy to talk, and easy going, and nonjudgmental.
I use CBT techniques, with a person-centered, solution-focused approach. I believe your thoughts have power over your perceptions and behaviors, and if we increase self-awareness, we can identify the source of the discord. Having worked with different psychiatric conditions, anxiety, and substance abuse, I have experience with group counseling, marriage counseling, family counseling, individual counseling, and teaching psycho-educational groups.
In treatment I connect, partner, link up with with you. I help you learn how to cope, make sense of your unique experiences through different counseling modalities and skills. Some counseling modalities that I work with are Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), Client Centered approaches, and Christian counseling.

I was attracked to Richards profile because of his experience and his belief system. After meeting with Richard his profile was true to what was presented. Richard was easy to talk to without judgment nor shame- big deals for me!

It was a great session. I feel I left having been heard and my feelings both challenged and validated. Looking forward to continue on the next session.
