I have a broad range of training and experience in different counseling approaches, including the American Psychiatric Association and World Health Organization-approved treatment modalities like EMDR (for PTSD and other trauma-related disorders), CBT, DBT, Psychoanalytic Approaches, and other traditional treatment modalities for mood disorders and addiction. My counseling practice embraces changes, focusing on a more fulfilling life and coping with one’s thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. I work with clients individually to understand their issues and apply evidence-based treatment methods to meet their needs. My therapeutic approach in couples/family therapy focuses on increasing understanding and empathy, helping the couples validate one another, and strengthening their communication. I have experience working with individuals struggling with PTSD, Anxiety, Depression, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Panic Attacks, Social Anxiety, Addiction, Borderline Personality Disorder, Anger and Grief. I utilize a positive, collaborative, and person-centered approach to assist clients in meeting their goals and developing skills to reach their fullest potential. I look forward to working with you.

After graduating from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in Baltimore, I relocated to South Florida. After several years practicing law, I realized I wanted to spend the rest of my career helping others from a behavioral health perspective. After two years treating clients in a chemical dependency hospital, followed by a long-term substance use facility, I served as a behavioral health counselor for several years at a local high school.

Hello. I am excited to guide you in taking your power back. If your life feels more challenging than it should, I can help you uncover and discover thoughts and behaviors that may be blocking you from living in the light so you can enjoy life to the fullest. Do you sometimes feel stuck with little to no options in dealing with challenging situations? Do you tend to react by fighting, fleeing, shutting down, or using mind-altering substances when you feel emotional distress? And soon after experience negative self-talk about the way you handled the situation? If you relate to this, I would love to teach you the reason humans tend to repeat patterns and explore alternative ways to find solutions.

Have you experienced some life experience or change, which you feel you need help to overcome, divorce, grief, or trauma? Have you felt as if sometimes you are drowning in your emotions instead of just experiencing them? Does anger, sadness, anxiety, or fear keep impacting your life in ways you don't want it to? Do you struggle managing your emotions and would love to learn how to cope with them effectively? Do you struggle with thoughts of self-harm, of not being good enough, hopelessness, or emptiness? Or do you have children/teens that might be going through these things? If you want a therapist who will not judge you and will help you manage what seems unmanageable, you have found me! I want to help you or your child/teen, start your new healing journey and enjoy life once more! I want you to learn to love yourself and build good relationship and have power to control your emotions and thoughts, while learning to have self-control and conquer the journey ahead!

Hello, my name is Devon. Do you feel stuck and frustrated? I have over thirty-four years of experience working with individuals who feel the same way you do. I’ve been able to work together with individuals to reduce their feelings of anxiety, and I’ve been able to increase an individual's self-esteem, self-worth, self-image, and self-concept. I’ve also been effective in improving individual feelings of well-being. I aim to get individuals back to their highest level of functioning. I use cognitive restructured techniques, positive self-talk, relaxation skills training, etc. In short, I help individuals become unstuck, and we work together to get them back to doing the things they once enjoyed, which is living their best life. I have over thirty-four years of experience working with children, adults, and families. Yet, I’ve been successful in helping individuals reduce feelings of depression, poor anger management, unresolved family conflict, and substance abuse misuse, and I’ve been able to empower individuals with relationship issues to speak their truth.

One of my favorite life mantras is a quote by Eleanor Roosevelt: "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent". Thus, I enjoy helping others embrace their power. One of the most impactful ways to do that is a change in thought process. It has such a significant influence on the way we react and the type of emotions we feel. At times, facing life's challenges can be difficult. Fortunately, you do not have to do it alone. I'll walk on the journey with you, offering a safe environment that encourages exploration and growth. If you'd like to know if I'd be a good fit on your personal journey, please feel invited to reach out!
