Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and I have been practicing in the state of Florida for 25 years. I have training and expeerience in the areas of mood disorders, eating disorders, anxiety disorders, substance abuse and others. I have extensive training and experience treating stress and trauma. I use a variety of techniques depending on the needs of the client, however, the approach I practice the most is a combination of psychodynamics and Cognitive Behavior Therapy.

My approach to therapy

I used a combination of techniques which I apply according to the needs of the client and the symptoms/disorder presented. The most frequent approach I used is a combination of CBT and psychodynamics.

I am easy to talk to. My objective is to help my clients understand and accept their symptoms, achieve self-awareness, and discover the power they have over situations and relationships. I use a positive approach and I am solution focused. I like to be fully engaged in the process by educating and motivating my clients.
