About

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a National Certified Counselor (NCC) working in Florida with 11 years of experience working full time in addiction treatment and the mental health field. I strive to create a counseling relationship that is safe and accepting. I have been told I am genuine, encouraging, and direct at times.

I have a passion for helping others with a wide range of concerns including low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, communication problems, relationship issues, depression, trauma and abuse as well as coping with life changes.

With vast knowledge and experience in working with drug, alcohol and process/cross addictions, family conflicts, guilt and shame, as well as co-dependency and the integration of the twelve-step approach, I hope to assist you in overcoming your struggles.

In addition, I also assisted others who have barriers with anger management, control issues, domestic violence, commitment struggles and aim to help reverse a cycle of thoughts and behaviors which are destructive to self and within relationships through challenging irrational beliefs.

My therapy style is warm and empathic combining experience, and a sense of humor with a down-to-earth, realistic approach to the therapeutic process. I believe in treating everyone with respect and compassion. I utilize different therapeutic techniques and I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Mindfulness Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Client Centered Therapy, as well as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.

It takes strength and courage to seek assistance and ask for help. I am here to support and empower you on your journey of making positive changes for achieving a more fulfilling and happier life!
