I have been working in the field of mental health since the mid 90's and I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida since 2001.
I specialize in relationship counseling, as well as working with individuals struggling with anxiety, anger, addiction and trauma. I use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused as well as Person Centered Counseling.
I use a common sense approach that is easy to follow and understand. It starts with listening and engaging with the struggle that brings you to therapy. I want to understand the dynamics of your struggle, and then we can get into starting on the road to making things better.
The time in therapy is important, but I always stress that it's very important to take the tools that you learn about in therapy and applying them as part of your life. Early on in the process I will have you set realistic goals for yourself and paint a picture of what things will look like when you are ready to stop participating in therapy.
