About

Hello, to introduce myself, I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I became involved in counseling because my husband was a Vietnam veteran who suffered from chronic PTSD and unfortunately Agent Orange. Initially, I wanted to only work with veterans' administration but there were other opportunities in life for me. I have worked in the prison system here in Florida, I have also worked at a community counseling center and I have also had the pleasure to work with children, most of whom were in the DCF program. Children are incredibly resilient. I have worked with clients who have suffered from depression, anxiety, anger management, abandonment issues, ADHD, and trauma. Counseling for me is a way to help people reconnect to who they are, and encourage faith, compassion, sensitivity and respect for who they are. I work to develop an empathetic working relationship based on trust. It takes courage to reach out and ask for help and change is hard but incredibly rewarding. Reach out and take the first step.
