Hi, I’m Marquel, LCSW — but feel free to call me Quel. Life can be a lot—especially when you’re trying to figure out who you are, where you're going, or how to keep it all together.

I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can show up fully—confused, curious, hopeful, or overwhelmed. Together, we’ll build tools for clarity, confidence, and long-term emotional wellness. You don’t have to have it all figured out. You just have to show up.

Welcome, I'm Jaime and I’m so glad you’re here. Taking the first step toward therapy often takes courage and it’s a powerful way of honoring yourself.

I am currently accepting new clients for individual sessions via teletherapy. I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 23 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual realm, with a focus on relationship growth. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and tailor my approach on an individual basis. I believe in client autonomy so the areas that are addressed are the areas you want to address. I draw on several treatment modalities (including, but not limited to, Internal Family Systems, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to allow you to further develop your strengths and help you meet all of your treatment plan goals at a speed that works best for you. I also have completed training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy as well as the Developmental Model for Couples and integrate both of these approaches into my relational therapy practice. Overall, I help you to see that managing the stressor is more important than just managing the stress as it will allow you to cope with anything that comes your way.
