Great to meet you!

OVERWHELMED! I don’t know how much more of this I can take. I get it. I already think you are pretty awesome to seek assistance. I am a Master’s level, Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a National Certified Counselor in Florida. My experience has included working with adults in a private practice since September 2015.

My approach to therapy

My approach is to offer clients the support, acceptance, insight, and guidance needed to achieve your desired level of functioning. Treatment approaches used are Somatic Theory, Interpersonal Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral (CBT), Mindfulness-Based (MBCT), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Person-Centered, Solution Focused Brief (SFBT), Trauma-Focused CBT and Gottman Approach for couples therapy.

What you can expect from me

Therapy goals are derived from a partnered and client specific approach. General goals are to reduce overall frequency, intensity, and duration of distressing symptoms so that daily functioning is not impaired. My goal is to create a safe space online for you to do your mental health work.
