Personal Statement

With over 25 years’ experience serving a diverse population, I provide private therapy, evaluations, and testing services for people ages six or older. I have many professional licenses, including Marriage and Family Therapist, School Psychologist, and Mental Health Counselor. In addition, I am certified to work with people recovering from addictions and to work as a family mediator under the Florida Supreme Court. I specialize in life coaching, addictions, and divorce.

The services I provide focus on relationships, personal responsibility, and personal empowerment. I have a deep understanding of behavioral and emotional issues, including attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD), anxiety, depression, elderly person’s disorders, and impulse control disorders. I also provide counseling to parents, children, adolescents, and couples working through difficulties, such as grief, domestic abuse, or substance abuse. I can provide individual, couples’, family, or group therapy, which includes hypnotherapy and other eclectic approaches founded in psychological principles and theories.
