About Me
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida with over 13 years of experience committed to helping people learn how to have better relationships, cope with stress, and manage all areas of life. My work focuses on trauma, anxiety, depression, dependency issues, relationships, couples, and families. I work with adults and adolescents. I am solution focused and mindfulness based and believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals. I am passionate about helping others struggling with mental and behavioral health conditions, and hold certifications as a National Certified Counselor, an MCAP, and a Certified Telehealth Practitioner. I am also trained in DBT and EMDR as additional therapeutic interventions. I often use art informed therapy, mindfulness strategies, and role playing as part of treatment.
