LCSW, 22 years of experience
Hi! Welcome to my practice, Central West Behavioral Health (https://centralwestcounseling.com/). I look forward to our first meeting. The Central West Behavioral Health office in Tampa is located at 13902 North Dale Mabry Highway, Tampa, Florida 33618, and we offer both in-person and Telehealth appointments. I have extensive training and experience in various counseling approaches, including treatment modalities approved by the American Psychiatric Association and the World Health Organization, such as EMDR (for PTSD and other trauma-related disorders), CBT, DBT, Psychoanalytic Approaches, and other traditional methods for mood disorders and addiction. My practice emphasizes change, focusing on helping clients lead more fulfilling lives by addressing their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work with clients one-on-one to understand their issues and apply evidence-based treatment methods to meet their needs. In couples and family therapy, my focus is on fostering understanding and empathy, helping partners validate each other, and improving communication skills. I have experience working with individuals dealing with PTSD, anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic attacks, social anxiety, addiction, borderline personality disorder, anger, eating disorders, and grief. I use a positive, collaborative, and person-centered approach to help clients reach their goals and develop skills to realize their full potential. I look forward to working with you. Working with people, changing lives
In our initial session, we'll begin with brief introductions and then talk about the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me develop a customized plan for us to work on in future sessions.
I have over 22 years of experience working with couples, families, and adults. I am thorough in treatment approaches such as EMDR, CBT, DBT, solution-focused therapy, and other insight-building psychoanalytic methods approaches.
I work with clients who most of the time don't have the tools needed to make their goals a reality. People experience trauma in their lives or grow up in an unhealthy life, which may become a challenge in their later lives, and it may precipitate mood disorders, PTSD, personality disorders, relational issues, or addiction to cope with a stressful life.
I have a broad range of training and experience in different counseling approaches, including the American Psychiatric Association and World Health Organization-approved treatment modalities like EMDR (for PTSD and other trauma-related disorders), CBT, DBT, Psychoanalytic Approaches, and other traditional treatment modalities for mood disorders, addiction, anger management and Borderline Personality Disorder.
DBT helps people control emotions when they have difficulty managing them. DBT treatment also helps to build and transform damaged interpersonal relationships in the case of people suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing therapy helps people by infiltrating the past stalled memory by the adaptive information. Overwhelming information that is stuck in us may cause distress (PTSD) and can be triggered. EMDR therapy helps to alleviate the over reaction and will help to process the stalled information.
