About

I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist in Florida with over 5 years of experience working as a therapist and case manager. My passion is helping individuals with substance use disorders and other addiction issues. I also have experience and feel fulfilled working with individuals with medical health issues, depression, anxiety, personality disorders, trauma, relationship issues, body image issues, abuse career challenges and general life issues. Even if I haven't worked with someone who has your specific problem, I am very client centered, willing to learn the best way to help you and utilize dynamic approaches to treating people. I believe that therapy has to be individualized and the only thing that will work for you is what works for YOU.

I believe that my counselor style is honest and interactive. I care about my clients and want what is best for them as individuals so I seek to utilize the best approach to help you achieve your goals. I believe in an eclectic approach and utilize motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral, humanistic and solution focused approaches. I want YOU to create your goals, but I will certainly be there to guide you. I will tailor your treatment plan and my approach to meet you where you're at.

You should feel proud of yourself for taking the leap towards bettering your life with therapy! I am a real person, with real experiences, so my knowledge does not just come for a textbook, it also comes from life. I get how difficult it can be to chose the path of looking at yourself but you've now taken the first step and I am so excited to work with you!!!
