I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have been practicing in the state of Florida for 25 years. I have training and experience in the areas of mood disorders, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse and others. I have extensive training and experience treating stress and trauma. I use a variety of techniques depending on the needs of the client, however, the approach I practice the most is a combination of psychodynamics and Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

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

In our first session together, I collect background information and childhood experiences. Then, we discuss the presenting problem, the challenges and symptoms the client currently experiences.

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

I have the ability to identify the roots of the symptoms and conflicts early on the therapeutic process.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

The client is guided to examine his/her thinking patterns and beliefs attached to such and resulting behaviors. The client is then taught to undo the process by replacing maladaptive thinking and behavioral patterns by positive and effective ones to promote positive changes in their lives and happier outcomes
