Entering into counseling is a big decision and one that requires commitment. The ideal candidates are those with a willingness to overcome obstacles and grow through the therapeutic process. I have practiced in Highlands County for 24 years and continue to strive to provide clients with quality therapeutic intervention. I welcome you to my practice and look forward to helping you find the answers you are looking for.
Because I am a seasoned therapist my background is diverse. This includes clinical counseling within community mental health, career counseling through Vocational Rehabilitation, Substance Abuse counseling, and overcoming depression, trauma, anxiety, and relationship struggles.
We have all felt wounded. This is often what leads people to pick up the phone. If you are in a spot in your life that is no longer working I encourage you to contact.

During our first session I will assess your background and we will determine an appropriate therapy plan for you. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is often my modality of choice to help push back against thoughts that support negative emotions and behavior. CBT is evidenced based and works well for many issues that present in counseling.
