Social work chose me! When I wrote my personal essay for my MSW, I realized social work had always surrounded me. I remember helping elderly neighbors, teaching friends how to count money, and researching services for my autistic brother. There were so many events between those gaps and yet to come. I always desired to help people. My brother’s diagnosis widened my eyes to my calling, but life had other plans for me and I became a secretary. As a secretary, I found myself being hired in the mental health arena, including the areas of AIDS research, mental health, addiction services, and college counseling. Social work is my second career but it's always been my first passion. I pull from both my personal and professional experiences and allow these experiences to teach and mold me.

I received my LMHC (License Mental Health Counselor) cert at the beginning of 2024. I'm well versed counselor, with specific training in dealing with trauma and non-traditional couples. I like using an eclectic style, picking the strategies and tools from all around, to provide the best service to my client. As a lifetime learner, someone coming in to my office automatically has that in common!

My career in mental health in 1977 working in a psychiatric hospital; and later as a outpatient therapist in a community mental health center working with children, adolescents, families, and adults.

My therapeutic style centers around getting to know a client, develop trust, and talking more explicitly about issues before making any recommendations. I am a strong advocate of evidence-based treatments and teaching ‘tools’ to cope with stress and emotional difficulties.

Hi, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I have over 11 years of experience working with children, teens, adults and families on a host of different issues. I have gained valuable experiences working in private practice, in a pregnancy center, working with the homeless population, community mental health and the Church. All these experiences helped to make me the rounded clinician that I am today. Many individuals focus on their physical health while ignoring the most important aspect of their being and that is their mental health. I believe that focusing on one's mental health shows fortitude and strength. You don't have to let anxiety, depression, anger, relationship issues, or even career decisions prevent you from realizing your true potential. I take clients on the journey until they arrive at their destination. “Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start.” Nido Qubein. This quote sums up what I believe when it comes to working with my clients. Where you are right now does not define you, it is your starting point to get you moving in the right direction. The thought of therapy may sound daunting to you, but I can assure you that this could be one of the best decisions that you ever made. Investing in your mental health is priceless. You deserve to be heard and to be healed. This is my story, What’s yours? Let’s talk.
