I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida with an extensive amount of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with clients/patients on every level, from severe mental illness to life coaching and adjustment issues. My experience includes working with people with severe mental illness at the state hospital level to include long term Baker Act patients and those found Incompetent to Proceed and Not guilty by Reason of Insanity (13 years' experience). I also have 8 years' experience doing outpatient individual therapy.

Therapy should provide a safe, nonjudgmental relationship through which to explore those parts of you that may make you feel ashamed or afraid, to develop meaningful insights, and to discover your strengths. I have extensive experience working with people seeking to overcome traumatic life events - sexual violations, abuse, neglect, extreme acts of violence - but have found that, in the end, it can sometimes be the seemingly small, overlooked wounds that take longest to heal. No matter how stuck and hopeless you may feel, you have the power to take control and embrace the person you'd like to be.

I believe in a strength based approach which means every client has a natural strength that can be used to improve upon any situation. My goal is to help clients identify and utilize the skills they already possess. Therapy approaches I often use to achieve this goal are EMDR, CBT, motivational interviewing, etc. I enjoy working with clients who are seeking to process through trauma. We have all experienced it at least once in our lives, and I love working with clients seeking to process and overcome these experiences. I practice a judgement free environment and enjoy learning as much from my clients as they learn from me.
