Welcome! I'm a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida. My practice focuses on helping individuals take back control of their lives. My experience includes assisting clients with a variety of issues including Depression, Anxiety, Grief, Anger, Communication, insomnia, and other life-distressing problems. I provide no-nonsense solution-focused strategies utilizing cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), psychodynamic, and motivational approaches. By using these proven therapeutic approaches, we will change long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll start with brief introductions, and 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.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I believe my greatest strengths lie in my empathy and active listening. I approach each client with genuine compassion, creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to share your experiences.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have extensive experience with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and use it frequently in my practice. CBT is a highly effective approach for treating a variety of mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, insomnia, grief, and more. My training in CBT has equipped me with the skills to help clients understand and change their negative thought patterns and behaviors. CBT's structured and evidence-based approach aligns well with my goal of assisting clients to achieve meaningful and lasting changes in their lives.
