I am licensed in Florida with 20 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with coping with addictions, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, career difficulties, & depression. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started! I began my career as an Art Therapist, afterward completing studies to become a Certified Addiction Counselor and Qualified Supervisor. I gained licensure in Florida, and have worked as a group facilitator, primary therapist, and Clinical Director in multiple treatment centers in South Florida, where the focus was addiction and mental health treatment. My approach is eclectic and person-centered. Some theories that I utilize during sessions include ACT, DBT, CBT, and most importantly, developing a relationship with my clients where there is a safe space to explore issues and changes.

My strengths are in having many years of experience to approach each and every person as the unique individual they are, and to create a safe accepting space.
