I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida and worked as a social worker/case manager since 1996. I have worked in many settings including outpatient clinics, residential, jail, nursing homes, and case management in client homes. I believe that movement and change is essential to growth. I have a passion for walking alongside my clients to provide helpful tools to navigate through life challenges and come out the other side a stronger and more balanced person. I believe that without change there would be no butterflies.
Cognitive Behavioral therapy is my specialty including DBT skills, ie. Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance, which helps everyone esp. sleep and Chronic Pain. I have long history with Aging & geriatric population as well as young adults. Behavior Activation, Codependency, Communication problems, Life purpose, Women and other issues
I believe in treating the whole person and offer a well rounded approach including faith based counseling if desired. Lifestyle changes and Transitional periods are my passion at any stage of life, regardless of age or circumstances. We were not meant to do life alone. I am here to support you in that process.
