I hear you. I listen. Therapy is all about you, and you will be placing your trust in me. So, let me tell you a little bit about myself. I am a licensed mental health counselor in Florida with a Ph.D. in Counseling & Psychological Studies. I have shared the journey with ages 7 to 70 for challenges with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationships, addictions, and so much more. I am a wife, mother, grandma, business owner, MBA, CPA, Air Force veteran, animal lover, gardener, farmer, foodie, and holistic health enthusiast. I bring my life experience, open mind, compassion, accepting attitude, curiosity, humor, training, and education to the counseling room to help you find solutions, heal, and live your best life. I have a lifetime of eclectic experiences, including understanding life transitions, aging, and many challenges we encounter as we live and grow. Together, we will share life's ups and downs, explore your strengths, and build resilience! Sometimes, we need just a little support and the awareness that someone who cares is there to help.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
I want to get to know you--I am intensely curious. I will ask you probing questions to help you describe why you are coming to see me. The questions will help us find the root causes of your distress so we can formulate an effective treatment plan and get you on the path to healing and feeling better immediately.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I am compassionate, highly analytical, and a problem-solver by nature. I use these personal attributes to help you identify your problems and their root causes. Once we identify them, we find your solutions together. As we embark on our journey, I will challenge you to broaden your perspective and consider situations from different points of view. For an example of my treatment approach to anxiety, visit www.chain-links.love I am the creator of The CHAIN Links Program for Young Women and Girls with Anxiety. More than a book, it is a program you live and DO for 13 weeks, including several well-researched and effective therapeutic approaches. Whatever your reason for coming to therapy, our journey together will use the tools most likely to help you, and we will figure that out together! My approaches are evidence- and experience-based with YOU in mind. Therapy is important, and more importantly, what you do between sessions determines the pace and level of growth and healing you achieve. Let's work together!
