I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor located in the State of Florida. With over 19 years of experience, I am comfortable dealing with many kinds of issues and welcome the opportunity to assist you. I would like to work together and help you discover the tools necessary for a new and improved outlook. I am here to assist with any challenge that is affecting your well-being, and also have expertise in Stress, Depression, Anxiety, Trauma, Grief and Loss issues, relationships, LGBTQ. Life is stressful and does not have to be a journey carried alone. My passion is guiding individuals to reach their full potential; by helping to process feelings, and learn positive coping skills, for a healthy happy state of mind and achieve a more peaceful place in their life.
To me, therapy is broken down into three main components. First, we will define the therapeutic relationship, and i will learn what you are seeking help with, what you have tried before and what you would like to see happen. I use concrete techniques to help you feel better. Therapy should be a wonderful experience that you can identify challenges, explore change and grow at your own pace.
I am extremely creative in my approach as I do not believe it is a "one size fits all". I will use whatever treatment methods/tools that are best to promote and encourage a safe, secure and accepting space for you to grow while learning techniques to feel better, and have a better quality of life. If appropriate for you, I do like to incorporate modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy to help promote different ways to perceive, process and react for a healthier life.
Some of my biggest strengths are in the areas of stress, anxiety/panic disorders, depression, trauma, grief and loss, life transitions whether it be family, academic or career based. I work with many populations from college students feeling overwhelmed, relationship issues, work life balance, parenting training, to empty nest parents redefining their roles, to retirement transition. I have expertise in EAP counseling.
