I hold a license in Florida and bring five years of professional experience to my practice. Throughout my career, I have worked with adult clients navigating significant life transitions, as well as those dealing with anxiety and depression. I firmly believe that you are the author of your narrative, possessing unique strengths that can help you face and overcome the challenges in your life. It requires immense bravery to pursue a more satisfying and joyful existence and to initiate the process of change. I am dedicated to being a source of support and empowerment as you embark on this transformative journey.

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

During the first session, anticipate a comprehensive initial assessment that serves as a foundation for their therapeutic journey. This will involve an open discussion about outcomes of therapy, confidentiality, and ensuring that clients feel secure in sharing their thoughts and feelings. Additionally, a safety contract will be established to create a supportive environment where clients can express themselves without fear. Building rapport is also a key focus during this session, as it fosters trust and connection between the client and therapist, setting the stage for a productive and meaningful therapeutic relationship.

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

I feel my key strengths as a mental health provider lie in my ability to maintain a client-centered and solution-oriented approach, which emphasizes harnessing the unique strengths of each individual. I prioritize reflective listening, ensuring that clients feel heard and understood, while collaboratively working with them to achieve their therapeutic goals. This partnership fosters a supportive environment where clients can thrive and make meaningful progress in their mental health journey.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I believe I am best equipped to support adult members of the LGBTQIA2+ community, individuals with alternative lifestyles, seniors, and military Veterans.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

Over the past five years, I have had the opportunity to work extensively with individuals through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), focusing on helping them achieve their therapeutic goals, particularly for those who benefit from a more structured approach.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

Over the past two years, I have had the opportunity to immerse myself in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), both in individual sessions and group settings, where I have been actively involved in teaching essential DBT skills. This experience has allowed me to witness firsthand the transformative power of DBT in helping individuals navigate their emotional challenges and develop healthier coping mechanisms. In individual therapy, I focused on tailoring the skills to meet the needs of each person, fostering a supportive environment that encouraged personal growth and self-discovery. In group settings, I facilitated discussions and activities that promoted collaboration and shared learning, creating a sense of community among participants.

Motivational Interviewing

Over the past five years, I have engaged in motivational interviewing with individuals, focusing on understanding their readiness for change and supporting them in reaching their therapeutic goals. This approach has allowed me to create a collaborative environment where clients feel empowered to explore their motivations and barriers, ultimately guiding them toward meaningful transformations in their lives.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I have had the privilege of working with clients through solution-focused brief therapy, a transformative approach that emphasizes harnessing individual strengths to facilitate healing and achieve desired therapeutic outcomes. This experience has allowed me to guide clients in identifying their inherent resources and capabilities, enabling them to shift their focus from problems to solutions. By fostering a collaborative environment, I have witnessed clients gain clarity on their goals and develop actionable steps toward achieving them, ultimately leading to meaningful progress and personal growth.
