I am licensed clinician in Florida with 10+ years of professional work experience. I have experience working with individuals in several different capacities. I believe that everyone deserves to have a person in their corner and a place for support. It has been extremely rewarding working to help clients with depression, stress and anxiety, motivation, self esteem and confidence, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. My therapy style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating all individuals with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and dignity. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, Dialectical Behavioral therapy and Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you and I am happy to be a part of this process with you .
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
First sessions are key to a successful therapeutic relationship. In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then work to understand the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest professional strengths as a clinician are my empathy, which allows me to connect more effectively with the individuals I work with; my love to solve problems; ability to communicate effectively; and to see potential in others, even when they can't see it themselves. My ability to make people feel good by being able to see the best in anyone I encounter.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I am ready to help anyone who is ready and willing to make positive change or work towards positive growth. I enjoy working with individuals of all ages with passion for adolescents, young adults and the geriatric population.
