Thanks for considering me for your mental health needs. I have been in private practice for the past 15 years working with clients dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD and addictions. I work with clients dealing with life transitions such as grief, divorce, parenting, aging parents etc.. Most clients are seen by way of individual counseling but I also see couples and families. My goal is to provide a safe and welcoming environment where you can speak your truth, feel heard and be challenged when necessary. I am a Certified Addictions Professional (Florida Certification Board) and Licensed (Florida Department of Health) since 2005.

I utilize evidence based therapies such as cognitive behavioral therapy and/or motivational enhancement to assist clients in understanding how their thinking may contribute to maladaptive patterns. I often utilize accelerated resolution therapy (ART), ART is an evidenced based therapy using eye movements to help process trauma and maladaptive patterns of behavior. I believe the therapeutic relationship is based on respect, safety and trust so that you can work towards living your most authentic life.

My hope is that you will feel welcomed, seen and heard knowing you are in a place of non-judgement as you work towards your goals of improved functioning and overall authenticity.
