Hello! I am a licensed clinical social worker with decades of experience inspiring and motivating others to be the best version of themselves. I am also a certified executive coach working to motivate and inspire high performance while maintaining a healthy work/life balance. I find a special satisfaction helping people transition into the next phase of their personal and professional lives. I worked in a variety of settings throughout my career involving counseling, supervision, policy and communications. Over the past 25 years, I held numerous senior advisory positions in the federal government including the Executive Office of the President and the National Institutes of Health where I worked alongside many of the world’s leading experts on mental health and addiction. These experiences continually inform my therapy and coaching practice to ensure it reflects the most current understanding of human behavior and positive change. My partner Peter and I have been together for over 30 years and now reside in Fort Lauderdale along with our Russell Terrier, Rocco (special guest appearances made during sessions upon request).
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session we will set expectations and develop specific therapy goals which we can continually refer to assess progress.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Counseling is an art and a science. I promise to provide you with a satisfying, respectful, and evidence-informed counseling experience that will meet your unique needs. I incorporate various techniques, such as cognitive therapy and motivational interviewing, to help you achieve your goals as quickly and efficiently as possible. Counseling is a partnership and a journey. I look forward to helping you get what you deserve out of life. It's too short to want anything less. Let's talk.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I bring decades of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, mental health researcher, executive leadership coach, and personal fitness trainer and nutritional counselor to helping my clients build their mental fitness to improve performance, lower stress, and enhance healthy relationships.
