LMHC, 8 years of experience
I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, National Certified Counselor, and Hypnotherapist located in Florida. I received my Masters from the University of Central Florida and have been practicing for 8 years. I help adults and adolescents with issues ranging from depression and anxiety to grief and complex trauma. I use an electic approach informed by existential, behavioral, and psychodynamic models of psychotherapy.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. By the end of the first session, I like to identify initial goaps for therapy, or a "roadmap" for where your journey will begin.
My approach includes identifying your strengths as we navigate challenges and setting a pace that works for you.
I have extensive experience and passion working with clients who struggle with feelings of low self-worth, navigating interpersonal relationships, and moving forward in life after loss, setbacks, or traumatic experiences.

I always get nervous speaking with people I don't know, and Ernest makes you feel more comfortable and he asked questions helping to keep my thoughts more on track. I feel less scattered. Thank you!

Ernest spent every moment really listening and engaging with me, making me feel seen and understood. He also reassured me multiple times when I would stumble over my words. He is very supportive and understanding, and even though this was my first session with him, I know it will be lasting.
