(she/her)
Hi! I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Florida Gulf Coast University and have been practicing for over 10 years. I see all adults, but in particular I focus on folks that are dealing with life changes such as struggling with a new or changing diagnosis, reclaiming your identity, grief, or depression and anxiety. I want you to know that the time we spend together is for YOU, so it will be focused on what you want to talk about. Therapy can be hard work but I'd like to make it easier on you. Let's work together!
In our first session together we'll start with brief introductions and building rapport. We will dive into any challenges you're facing at a pace you are comfortable with. What I most hope you gain from our time together is the knowledge that you are not broken.
My greatest strengths as a provider are my mental flexibility and my open-mindedness. As much of my experience has been in hospitals and hospice care. I'm quite comfortable "hitting the ground running" so to speak.
I love working with adults trying to find themselves again. Ultimately my role in this is to help you recognize your strengths and identify new coping skills that are healthier and fit your life better.

Integrative
Basically this means that I acknowledge none of us is exactly alike we also don't want exactly the same things, and bits of multiple theories are used. I encourage you to be vocal about what exactly it is you are wanting to get out of therapy.
Existential
Existential therapy is mainly focused on your role in your own life and how your relate to the world. It can help you develop a better personal understanding and clarify your goals
Humanistic
This therapy focuses on you as an individual. Some important ideas behind humanistic therapy are unconditional positive regard, empathetic understanding, and genuineness. I don't pretend to be an expert on anything, but can help you equip yourself for the changes you want to make

Sylvia is a breath of fresh air. She is warm and calm. You feel like she’s genuinely listening and cares about what you have to say. Life is hard and it’s nice matching with therapist who softens your load.

Sylvia took the time to understand me. She knows what makes me tick and how my struggles are impacted by my approach and thought process. She's helped evolve my coping skills and works hard to give me perspective on things. I've never felt comfortable opening up about subjects of a sexual nature before and it's helped shape advice. Simply put, she's the best therapist I've ever had. She's pulled me back from the brink multiple times and I feel genuinely cared for when I'm in session with her.
