About

My credentials include a Master’s Degree in Adult Education with an emphasis on Training & Staff Development, and a masters degree in Clinical Social Work from Florida State University. As an adult educator, I have taught several courses to those seeking certification in addiction counseling. I am licensed in the state of Florida[ License #SW 10725.] In addition to doing my own personal healing and development work I have gained invaluable clinical experiences including treating the mentally ill in community mental health settings, providing in home family counseling, maintaining a private practice, and treating countless individuals struggling with chemical as well as behavioral addictions ( i.e codependency, sex love, and pornography). During my time working as a therapist in substance abuse treatment I acquired specialized training in relapse prevention, psychodrama, trauma and treating a variety of personality disorders. Moreover, I developed a strong interest in group therapy. This interest evolved into a passion and subsequent creation of a therapy group in 2012 which addressed the unique challenges experienced by men. Through the years I have also received specialized training in providing couples therapy. I have helped many regain a loving connection with one another. Lastly, I have had the great privilege of working as a personal development instructor teaching experiential based courses helping adults break free from the survival strategies formed as a child which have kept them stuck in their lives. (You can learn more about the various styles of therapy I use under the therapy techniques.) All of my experiences as a therapist has led me to the work I do today. If you were to ask me, what my truth was, I would say the following: My truth today is to be the possibility for transformational change through compassion, kindness, humor, and wisdom.
