Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida, and I have been practicing for 7 years. I am also licensed in Vermont as a telehealth provider. I received my Master's degree from Capella University, and am passionate about helping adults with a wide range of issues to become the best version of themselves. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for clients to explore their thoughts and feelings, and to work healing and growth.
During our first session, my goal is to get to know you as an individual. We will focus on your presenting issue(s) and gain background information to gain insight into your unique needs and experiences. Together, we will create treatment goals that are tailored to your specific needs and help achieve your therapeutic goals. My goal is to provide a safe and supportive environment for you as well as to explore your thoughts and feelings, and start helping you move towards healing and growth.
Having worked in the mental health field for the past 7 years, I developed the skills and experience necessary to work with a wide range of individuals and tailor my approach to meet their unique needs. I believe fostering a strong connection with my clients is the most important factor in their success. I am committed to providing a safe and supportive environment for my clients.
I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients reframe their thoughts and develop more positive thinking patterns and enact change.
I utilize Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients with PTSD and other trauma-related issues. EMDR can be an effective tool in helping clients process and heal from traumatic experiences.
Motivational Interviewing is a powerful tool that I use to help clients who may not be fully ready to change or do not view their issues as problematic. This approach allows clients to discover on their own if there issues are problematic and if they want to change.
