Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida with a Masters in Marriage and Family therapy. I specialize in relationships and family dynamics with specialized level two training in the Gottman method. I am a father of two which includes a step-daughter and special needs son, and have been married for 19 years. In couples counseling I am fair and even-handed, not taking sides. Christian counseling is available and part of my own personal journey. As I respect each individual's personal journey, it will only be included by your request. We all list the styles of therapy that as counselors we employ but at the end of the day you are coming to a therapist to be heard, be understood, and to be supported. I will do that for you without judgment or criticism. Let’s talk today!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Therapy's purpose is to be challenging. It is not a therapist's job to rubber stamp your behaviors and affirm your thought processes. I will push you to grow as a person and re-evaluate your perspectives.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt, Gottman Method and general talk therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Life has given me interesting experiences and decades of working with people. I have an aptitude for working with relationships and being challenging to behaviors and mind sets that break them.
