Welcome! I am so glad you are here. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with over a decade of counseling experience. I encourage my clients to seek, find, and utilize their inner strengths to overcome some of the very challenges they believe they cannot overcome on their own.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we’ll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you’re facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. We can discuss goals for our time together to help build a path to the life you seek.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strengths as a therapist lie in my empathic, solution-focused, and adaptable approach. I have a deep capacity to understand and connect with my clients on an emotional level, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for them to share their concerns. I am dedicated to helping clients identify practical solutions to their challenges, empowering them to take meaningful steps toward positive change. My adaptability allows me to tailor my therapeutic techniques to suit each client's unique needs, ensuring a highly personalized and effective counseling experience
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My passion lies in helping guide individuals navigating significant life transitions, from relations to career shifts. They seek support in adapting to change, finding clarity, and managing the emotional challenges that come with these shifts. I work with clients who are motivated to embrace these changes and are open to a collaborative therapeutic journey towards greater resilience and personal growth.

Used predominantly for mood-related disorders, including anxiety and depression. Issues of self-worth, boundaries, interpersonal relationships, and trauma-related events are common topic areas for the use of CBT.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
SFBT is a methodology often utilized for those seeking support and/or guidance with acute issues and stressors. I predominantly apply this approach of treatment for those seeking therapy services for a few months to identify solutions to variables issues from occupational pivots to family dynamics.
