About
Are you feeling like your joie de vivre is flagging? I am ready to help you reclaim your joy. I can assist people who are feeling depressed, anxious, overwhelmed or lonely to find their way back to their best life. I like to provide a warm and friendly environment and feel that there can even be room in therapy for gentle humor. I value each person's story and want you to know I am dedicated to providing an open-minded, safe and compassionate therapeutic relationship with my clients to enable you to share your thoughts and feelings, and to create a comfortable, open and safe environment in which you can move forward towards a happier, more fulfilling life. I know it isn't easy reaching out to ask for help, and I applaud your courage. Let's take the next steps on the road to your best life together. I am a Clinical Social Worker, licensed in Florida with over 27 years of professional experience. I have worked in a wide variety of settings, helping clients cope with depression, anxiety, grief and loss, and to find ways to improve enthusiasm and motivation, self-esteem, and confidence, as well as helping find the path up and out of depression. I also have experience working with coping with the challenges that can come with life changes.
