Welcome, Welcome! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and National Certified Counselor (NCC) in Florida with over 10 years of experience working as a psychotherapist and qualified mental health professional. I have worked with clients with a wide range of presenting problems and concerns including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, family conflicts/dynamics, parenting-related issues, self-esteem, trauma-related symptoms, OCD, DMDD, ODD, ADHD and tics (vocal/motor).
Grounded in dialogue, I will make it a priority to ensure a safe, comfortable, and respectful environment that allows you to talk openly. As we build rapport and a therapeutic relationship, I will display unconditional positive regard in a objective, neutral, and nonjudgmental manner. We demonstrate resilience when we expand our understanding and challenge our irrational thoughts that influence our emotions. Together, we will aim to improve symptoms and overcome life's obstacles through self-awareness, discernment and reassurance.
My counseling style is attentive, empathetic, and person-centered. I believe supportive psychotherapy in conjunction with psychoeducation is life-changing and can be life-saving. My clinical approach is integrative eclectic therapy, which combines a variety of modalities and techniques (e.g., CBT, DBT, ACT, CBIT, etc.) to best fit your needs.
I am certified in Comprehensive Behavioral Intervention for Tics (CBIT) and have extensive training working with individuals with Tourette's Syndrome and Tic Disorders.
