I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida, with over 25 years of experience working as a counselor, college professor, and consultant. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, lifestyle changes, personality disorders, Bipolar disorder and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical and emotional trauma, as well as substance abuse issues. Many of us feel a lack of stability emotionally from time to time. To seek a more complete and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change needs to be encouraged and supported . If you are ready to make a change, I am here to support and empower you. I am sure this is something that we can do together and I look forward to working with you!
