Hi! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counsellor (LMHC) based in Florida. I received my Masters from Palm Beach Atlantic University and have been practicing for 10 years. I'll help you become the best versions of yourself by taking the time to understand your needs and goals, then working closely with you to develop a plan to help you get to where you want to be in a month, six months or a year from our first session.
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I humbly tell you that I truly love working with people, and I've been gifted with the ability connect with them quickly and deeply. This helps us understand one another and reach YOUR goals as quickly and effectively as possible, but not rushing you. I tell them, "My goal is for you to not need me anymore, but anytime you need a "tune up," reach out to me and I'll get you in as soon as possible!"
I love working with people suffering with addictions, depression, and/or anxiety, and couples. My clients are eager to improve, but don't yet have the tools needed to make their goals a reality. They often feel stuck, overwhelmed and anxious about their lives. It's my privilege to work with you to achieve your goals, no matter how big or how small!
Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) is a clinically proven, evidence based, form of therapy that is easily understood, applied, and highly effective. CBT can be used with clients of all ages and is effective in helping people learn and grow rapidly, preparing them to lead their best life possible.
I have used Family Therapy to help families rebuild bonds, Improves communication, find healing, and helps families treat mental health and behavioral conditions. The family unit is treated like a "system," in order to restore trust and heal past hurts.
I've had the privilege of working with many premarital, married, cohabitating, and dating couples. I like to utilize an assessment tool called Prepare and Enrich which is an individualized assessment for each partner. It covers a wide range of topics such as communication, anger, control, sexual relations, money management, parenting styles, and partner dominance, just to name a few. Once each person completes the assessment individually the program identifies areas of strength as well as areas of need, provides homework assignments that are done individually and together, which we discuss in session with the goal of helping each couple to function at the highest and most beneficial levels.
I am a licensed mental health counselor who is a committed Christian. Because my job is to join the client where they are, I utilize Christian counseling whenever requested. I do not try and force my beliefs on anybody, but find that many people when they are having difficulty in life are open to spiritual concepts. I'm also a former pastor. It's my privilege to incorporate scripture and/or prayer into your treatment sessions if that's what you desire.
In my practice I provide a safe space so clients can explore their sexual concerns, and gain insights. Topics to consider are, but not limited to: low libido (desire to have sex), arousal difficulty, orgasm dysfunction, painful intercourse, difficulty being intimate with someone, and infidelity.
