I've worked with hundreds of patients in treatment settings suffering from co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues and am well-equipped to support those healing from adjustment disorders, substance abuse, marital conflict and low self-esteem.

Hello! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in the State of Florida with 5+ years of professional experience supporting and empowering adults struggling with a wide array of mental health challenges such as anxiety, low self-esteem, stress, trauma & abuse, addiction, depression, meaninglessness, grief & loss, family conflict, anger management, identity issues, and relationship problems. I maintain an open and safe space for you to explore your innermost thoughts and feelings without fear of judgment.

Are you experiencing life challenges such as family discord, low self-esteem, substance abuse issues, anxiety, and depression? If so, I am here to help provide you with direction and guidance. Do you struggle with developing structure in their life? If so, as your therapist, I will help you learn to focus on yourself. As your therapist I will help you develop coping skills to decrease anxiety and depression and become more aware of your triggers that lead to low self-esteem, anxiety, and depression, substance abuse, and family problems. As your therapist, I will help you focus on finding solutions to your problems.

Accepting new patients struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or unresolved trauma. I am a licensed mental health counselor in the state of Florida. I can help you build skills to effectively manage the unexpected (or even the unwanted but expected). Stress can influence the way you see yourself and the world, keeping you stuck in past patterns despite your best efforts. Sometimes these patterns require specific interventions before you can get some relief. I'm here to help you build skills necessary to navigate whatever life throws at you.

My clinical background in Mental Health began as an undergrad and continued through grad school, working for the public sector for the Department of Children & Families where I worked with children, then the elderly in skilled nursing facilities and with adolescents in group homes. I then went on to work as a Nurse Navigator and provided services that included counseling and advocacy for oncology patients at one of the largest cancer hospitals in South Florida. In addition to this, I have also worked with adults in inpatient rehab for substance abuse and court ordered treatment, and served outpatient clients in the LGBTQ community.

The unresolved issues of an individual's life are clear and present dangers that inhibit their progress in all aspects of life. As a clinical social worker, therapist & life coach I would like to partner with you an guide you in facilitating your journey through change assisting you in learning healthy adaptive ways to improve your response to encounters with life stressors and challenging life transitions, inclusive of mental health issues. I counsel with focus on positive outcome by engaging clients to become goal oriented and committed in pursuing their desired life goals, navigating life challenges and promote their well-being.

If you find yourself feeling anxious, angry, sad, frustrated, overwhelmed, and tired I can assist with tools to help you alleviate some of these symptoms. Many times we feel so overwhelmed that we do not have or find the strength to cope. We struggle to find solutions to either manage our daily life or a major life event, and we feel that our world just crumbles. Sometimes we have family issues, struggle with boundaries, communication, and find no direction or drive to change our lives. If any of these issues sound familiar, I can help you find balance so that you can live life in a healthy and harmonious way.
