About me

I started this journey of helping others in 2004 when I decided to make Mental Health a career choice. After earning a master's degree, I accepted my first paid position at Phoenix House of Brandon, FL and fell deeper in love with helping people emerge from whatever darkness they were experiencing in their lives. My passion is counseling those who struggle with various addictive behaviors (substance use, problem gambling, etc.) and co-occurring lifestyle issues. I have found person-centered, strength-based, and empathic approaches encourage clients to discover their capabilities for living a healthy, positive lifestyle.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I am a person-centered therapist who helps clients identify their troubles, their thoughts about the issues, and teach them how to restructure negative thinking to facilitate growth and change.

EMDR

I assist clients in processing negative/traumatic events in their lives using bilateral stimulation and additional coping skills from eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR). These tools help clients gain insights and improve thought processes concerning the negative events.

Connie has great patience but knows when it's time to stop me from rambling endlessly and get me to focus on the point I'm trying to make. She helps me develop specific plans to act on during the week and keeps things goal-oriented. Her empathy and humor make it easy to open up and share what's eating my lunch. Very direct, very genuine, a great listener and an excellent guide to take me safely through the broken glass jungle in my head.
