Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Master level Certified Addiction Professional (MCAP) based in Florida. I received by Masters from the University of Central Florida. I have been practicing for over 20 years to help adolescents and adults deal effectively with problems and become the best versions of themselves. I look forward to helping you on your journey towards better mental health and functioning.
We will start our first session with a brief introduction and obtain basic background information. Then we will discuss the specific challenges you want to work on. This will help me tailor a treatment plan for us to work on to improve your situation.
I practice what I preach and don't tell clients to do things I'm not willing to do myself. I have successfully dealt with issues like anxiety, depression, abuse and addiction myself. I use my knowledge and experience to help my clients.
I have extensive experience working with a variety of adolescent and adult clients deal with disorders such as anxiety, depression and addictions.
