About

I am a Mental Health Counselor licensed in Florida with over 25 years of experience working with patients/clients of diverse backgrounds. Over the past 6 years, I have specialized in Addiction and Substance Abuse counseling. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including, but not limited to depression, anxiety, interpersonal issues, trauma/abuse with special importance and expertise in dual diagnoses/co-occurring disorders.

My counseling style is direct and results-oriented with an emphasis on Motivational Interviewing, Gestalt, REBT, Psychodynamic and Existential styles. I tell people things they often do not want to hear but need to hear to help them in facing their denial/ fears to get them unstuck and be the best version of themselves. I believe in treating everyone with dignity, respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Our sessions together will meet your unique and specific needs and you will see results relatively quickly.

I'm glad you came to help your life for the better and make an everlasting change!

I look forward to this journey with you!
