LCSW, 7 years of experience
I am a Florida Licensed Clinical Social Worker experienced in working with teens, young adults, college students, and individuals. My specialties include anxiety, confidence/self-esteem, grief/loss, sexuality, LGBTQIA+, and life transitions. I have also worked with clients who have experienced physical, emotional, and sexual trauma. My counseling style is compassionate and client centered. It is important to me that you are in control of your path, and that we are partners in reaching your goal.
You can expect a thorough initial assessment centered around your particular needs. We will start where you are, define your individual goals, and partner to create a plan of treatment. It is said that “Difficult Roads often lead to Beautiful Destinations”. If you are ready for the journey, I am here to walk beside you, to support you, to empower you.
Before any work is done, it is important to me to have a positive foundation and understanding of each individual's needs. I am intentional about avoiding assumptions and ensuring that I respect and honor each person for who they are. Admittedly, I am also a fan of my favorite stress reliever.....laughter.
I readily welcome individuals who are new to therapy, seeking to reengage, or perhaps had a less than positive experience in the past and are willing to give it another try.
My counseling style is compassionate and client-centered. I believe each of us deserve respect, dignity, and to be free of judgment. I combine a cognitive –behavioral and humanistic approach to counseling, tailored to your unique needs and style.
