Licensed to practice in Florida and accepts 50 insurances. Specializes in Addiction, Anxiety, Trauma and PTSD and 8 more.
I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the state of Florida. I am a proud veteran of the US Army. I completed my Masters Degree at Wake Forest University and have been providing services for the past 9 years. I love working with clients to help identify what's happening "behind the scenes" in their lives so they can live the healthy and fulfilling lives they deserve.
In our first session together, I really want to understand the whole picture of what life looks like for my clients. It may feel like I am asking a lot of questions, but our struggles can often present in ways we don't immediately connect to the core issue. Looking at the whole picture allows us to identify what areas to prioritize so we can set some goals for future sessions.
One of my greatest strengths as a provider is my ability to be direct, yet compassionate. My compassion provides a space in which nothing feels like it is off-limits in our discussions while my direct communication allows us, together, to confront and challenge your struggles.
I have an extensive background in the field of addiction and dual-diagnosis treatment. This means I have built a great foundation in discovering what's really going on underneath what's visible on the surface. These skills are especially helpful in assisting clients with depression, anxiety, and trauma. I have a heartfelt connection to military veterans and first responders, especially those with concerns related to trauma, depression, anxiety, or substance use. I understand the need these clients have to disconnect from their emotions to achieve their professional goals, and the struggles life presents when that disconnection becomes overwhelming.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is an excellent way to identify, and eventually challenge, the negative thoughts and beliefs which precede negative emotions and behaviors. I've been utilizing this method for years with great success in helping clients figure out the "why do I do that?" question.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I have extensive experience treating trauma and PTSD using Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), an evidence-based approach that helps clients reframe unhelpful thoughts related to their traumatic experiences. Through structured sessions, I guide individuals in identifying and challenging cognitive distortions, allowing them to process their trauma in a healthier way. My goal is to help clients reduce distressing symptoms, regain a sense of control, and move forward with greater emotional resilience and well-being.
