Therapists in Florida

Life can be stressful and challenging from time to time. Often we may feel we are not where we want to be in our careers, relationships, or family life. My career has spanned over 15 years with regard to working with clients suffering from both mental illness and substance abuse issues. I work with children, adults, and couples in a very nurturing and non-judgmental environment.

I recognize that each of us has an innate drive toward health and happiness. Still, life’s difficulties can create patterns within us that outlast their usefulness. My goal is to guide and empower clients to implement meaningful change. I emphasize a collaborative approach to address the needs of the client most effectively. Because therapy is not "one size fits all", I utilize an eclectic range of techniques, including Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Brief Strategic Family Therapy, and humanistic approaches. I have experience treating a variety of clients and concerns, including mood, anxiety, trauma, crisis, and addictions.

Have you experienced some life change or experience, which you feel you need help to overcome like anxiety, depression, or grief? 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? I help young adult women and women of all ages with ADHD, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma, and life transitions helping them learn healthy coping skills, mindfulness, re-framing limiting beliefs, and using their strengths to empower them to live out their full potential. If you want a non-judgmental therapist who will help you manage what seems unmanageable, book an appointment with me today! I want to help you or your adolescent start your healing journey and enjoy life again. I will empower you to find your strengths, gifts, and purpose, build great relationships and learn to manage your emotions and thoughts, while increasing self-control to conquer your new path forward! I have two kids of my own and love helping parents and kids/teens understand each other and form better bonds. I also enjoy holistic medicine and therapy and therefore practice it when needed. I am always eager to learn new techniques or read new research to better help my clients. I would be honored to help you in your healing journey.

Hi! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with 8 years of professional experience. I specialize in working with adolescents and young adults struggling with issues related to stress, life changes, anxiety, trauma, depression, self-esteem, ADD/ADHD, and anger. I am the spouse of a retired servicemember so I also have 20+ years of experience navigating the military lifestyle and am aware of the challenges faced by the military community. I earned my undergraduate degree from the University of North Carolina- Wilmington where I majored in Social Work.

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.
