Hello! I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. I have been providing counseling to children, teens, and adults for over 20 years! I treat clients that are struggling with PTSD, Anxiety, Trauma, ADHD, ASD, and women's issues that can entail an array of things. I hold a Masters in Counseling Psychology and School Psychology and am certified in EMDR, Hypnotherapy, Brainspotting, Play therapy, and multiple trauma trainings.
In our first session, I will ask questions to get to know you. Not just what issues have brought you to therapy, but who you are as a person. I will also request you to ask me questions as well. I am a very transparent therapist. I believe my life's events and past traumas are what have shaped me into the therapist I am today. Other things I will cover is how therapy works, what to expect each session, and what to expect in between sessions. We will also go over your goals for therapy and form a treatment plan together on how to achieve those goals.
I am a people person. I enjoy meeting and working with clients from all kinds of backgrounds. My clients describe me as warm and welcoming and easy to talk to.
I see many clients with psst trauma. By using this method, I'm able to open up uncomfortable and repressed memories using a safe and gentle approach.
EMDR is a powerful modality that can help those clients that have a hard time talking about their trauma. This modality allows the client’s mind open up and clear out years of trauma they have held on to.
EFT helps the client clear pathways in the brain thigh a series of tapping on certain points of the body. It is similar to acupressure.
I work from a very compassionate approach with my clients. Showing emotion to my clients and allowing them to know as a therapist that I genuinely care for them and their treatment, has proven to show a high rate of success in the client’s mental wellness.
Brainspotting is another treatment modality that helps to unlock those areas of the brain holding into to unprocessed trauma.
