Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified School Counselor in the State of Florida. I have been working with children, adolescence, families, and adults for 26 years. I specialize in positive psychology, social emotional wellness, families and parenting, addiction, anxiety, stress, and wellness.

My approach to therapy

I believe that counseling and working on personal growth and change is an art. Each person has unique needs and experiences that are useful in the counseling process. I utilize positive psychology and humanistic style of therapy.

What you can expect from me

When I first meet with a client we will talk about their expectations of therapy, what goals they have for the process. Utilizing a strength based approach we will create a treatment plan that will address the needs and goals of the client. The aim of therapy is to resolve difficult situations and bring about a change in thoughts, life, mindset, or actions.
