My license designation is LMHC Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I received my Master's degree from Argosy University Sarasota, an accredited CACREP program. I specialise in the treatment of grief, loss, depression, anxiety, trauma and PTSD. My clients are individuals, families, and couples. Populations served are teens, young adults, adults and seniors.
My approach to therapy is to nurture your mental health and well being through personalised and integrative care. Beyond talk therapy I embrace a holistic view of healing supporting the mind and body. I use innovative approaches and evidenced based solutions from nervous system regulation to skill building and self-discovery. I use a range of therapeutic services to meet your needs such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), Rapid Resolution Therapy (RRT), and Neuroscience-Based Therapy tools, and Mindfulness Interventions. I will tailor sessions to meet your unique needs to empower you.
Your first therapy session we will get acquainted, build rapport, and trust. We will discuss your background, reason for starting therapy, and current life situation. I will gather information about your symptoms, when they started, and what may be making them worse. There will be a discussion of your goals, and expectations. We will decide if we are a good fit. There is no need to feel pressure to share everything in the first session. Often clients can get emotional, remember this is normal. There will be no judgement. Be open and candid, this is one of the best things you can do for yourself.
