I am a social worker licensed in Florida with 10 years of experience working as a faith-based counselor. I want to help cultivate a purpose-driven life that expresses a positive, life-affirming view of your identity. Understanding and walking out the root causes in the areas where you feel inadequate, anxious, and depressed will bring freedom into your life and relationships. Christian counseling is unique as it allows me to combine faith and principles of the Bible with other counseling methods such as motivational interviewing, client-centered therapy, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and a Certified Sex Therapist. I trained at the University of Pennsylvania and have been in practice for over 35 years specializing in both individual and couples therapy. I treat anxiety disorders, depression, relationship problems (including difficulties with communication and sexual functioning), body image issues, the challenges of life transitions (divorce, death of a loved one, relocation, retirement, health problems), as well as gay, lesbian, and gender identity issues.

My experience includes working in a state psychiatric hospital, mental health court, skilled nursing facility, & individual therapy.

I am passionate about Mental Health and wellness, and my mission is to help each client become healthier and more balanced. I want each client to feel accepted, respected, and understood. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, solution-focus, and client-centered. I have recently begun incorporating relational-cultural and mindfulness techniques into my practice for a more inclusive and holistic approach. I am willing to tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
