I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) licensed in Florida. I received my post-graduate education from Capella University. I have been counseling for 7 years. I am married with 5 adult children, and 3 grandchildren. I enjoy helping people learn how to live their best life, focusing on staying in the moment. Your journey of mental healing will include letting go of the past, staying in the present moment, and not fearing the future.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

Take a moment to acknowledge you've taken the first step towards bettering your mental health because, let's be honest - starting therapy can be empowering, confusing, or scary, all at the same time. I strive to create a safe and welcoming environment that allows clients to explore obstacles and barriers that are keeping them from living their best lives. I focus on helping clients develop assertive communication & boundaries with themselves and those around them that can help improve their quality of life.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I take a Person-Centered approach to therapy. My clients have successfully used their personal strengths to overcome their barriers. By showing my clients how to identify and use their internal resources, they become more successful at sustaining long-term relief from mental health disorders. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART) are also approaches that are frequently used.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use CBT techniques to help client's change negative or inaccurate thinking patterns and behaviors. CBT works well for those suffering from anxiety, stress, PTSD, and depression. However, I often combine other treatment methods with CBT, offering a more personalized experience during the therapy process.

Mind-body approach

I use a more holistic approach to therapy. Being that many mental health disorders present themselves through physical symptoms, it is important to understand how the mind and body are connected. Many illnesses and symptoms of pain are indeed healed with proper mind-body cohesion.

Person-centered (Rogerian)

I feel that clients know themselves better than anyone else. It is important for me to apply treatment methods that are based on client personal feedback. Personal strengths and natural abilities are always considered throughout the treatment process. I create treatment based on each client's unique (and often uncovered) abilities to thrive.
