LMHC, 24 years of experience
Hello, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I received my Master's in Counseling from Youngstown State University and have been practicing for 20 years. I support and empower adolescents, adults and families to strengthen boundaries, communication and personal growth. I will provide a supportive, healing and safe environment to begin your healing journey. It takes strength and courage to seek help. I offer you a safe, judgement free place to grow and heal.
It is understandable that the first session can seem scary. Here is a new person that you are letting into your life and sharing all the things that are difficult and challenging. My goal is to make you feel comfortable as possible while get to know one another and gather the challenges and struggles you wish change. Together we will set expectations and goals for therapy.
As a therapist, I am passionate about empowering individuals to heal and transform by providing a safe, supportive and non-judgmental space for them to explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I employ a client centered approach combined with other modalities as together we work to uncover inner resources and strengths and to overcome challenges while supporting adjustment to change, stress reduction, goal setting, and motivation; while navigating a path towards personal growth, self-care, and overall wellbeing.

I utilize a range of evidenced based modalities including Strength Based, CBT, Mindfulness, Solution Focused and Structural Family Therapy. My approach includes being aware of patterns, building on strengths, and developing positive coping strategies. Awareness of one's patterns allows opportunity for change. Treatment with clients is individually based and utilizes a variety of theoretical perspective. Therapy is tailored to fit the needs of the individual client.
