I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I received my masters from the University of Central Florida and have been practicing for over 14 years. I am licensed in Florida, Maine, Virginia, Arizona and Colorado. I resides in Florida. I help adults cope with various challenges impacting their lives. I help clients recognize their own strengths to make the changes they need.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then explore what brought you to therapy and work together creating a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions. While everyone is unique, I have found that clients will typically start making measurable progress our first four sessions together. My goal is to make sure every client has the tools to be the best version of yourself and reach a point where you no longer require my services.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My greatest strength as a provider is meeting clients where they are and I strive for my clients to feel safe and comfortable. I am here as a trusted partner that you can confide in, but someone who is also going to challenge you and help you grow.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I love working with adults who come from all walks of life experiencing challenges and needing and wanting a better way to cope. I have found that individuals who are not willing and committed to therapy and do the work in between sessions will struggle to make meaningful progress. If you are ready to be challenge in a positive way, then I am the therapist for you.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I utilize CBT with clients to help them develop healthy coping skills, challenge their intrusive thoughts that maybe triggering their anxiety. I assign home work which encourages the client to practice techniques outside of sessions.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT)

I utilize DBT with clients to help them learn to accept who they are while working on managing their behaviors as well as their emotions to help regulate destructive or harmful behavior.

Motivational Interviewing

I utilize MI with clients by encouraging client's motivation for change. During session, the client recognizes their own strength to grow and make changes.
