I am licensed in Florida with 15 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, and confidence & depression. I am passionate about helping others. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage and I am proud of you for getting started!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In a first session, I like to focus on starting to get to know you and provide you a space to get a sense of me and whether you feel I would be a good match for you and your goals. We can do this by identifying and exploring your reasons for seeking out therapy, exploring your goals and allowing you to ask any questions about the therapy process that you may have. I also like to complete a general assessment of your life story and history without getting into anything in too much depth initially.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Having a background in trauma informed care and trauma focused treatment, I have the ability to help my clients connect present challenges and struggles back to root causes in the past in order to facilitate sustainable healing and empower self-awareness and true understanding of themselves.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
CBT is integrated as a component in almost all treatment modalities. Targeting negative thoughts creates ability to cope with emotions in a more adaptive manner and subsequently creating desirable behavioral changes.
Trauma-Focused CBT
Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy is an evidence-based psychotherapy or counselling that aims at addressing the needs of children and adolescents with post traumatic stress disorder and other difficulties related to traumatic life events.

I have worked extensively with children, youth and families who are dealing with loss and grief issues, whether that be from death, difficult life transitions, family displacement, divorce/separation, and/or families involved in dependency cases.

Motivational interviewing is a counselling method that involves enhancing a clients motivation to change by means of four guiding principles, represented by the acronym RULE: Resist the righting reflex; Understand the patient's own motivations; Listen with empathy; and Empower the patient.
