**Not currently accepting new clients** Hello! Beginning therapy can be intimidating, but asking for help is brave and a sign of strength. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Board Certified Telemental Health Counselor. I am able to see clients via telehealth anywhere in Florida. If you are feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands, my services aim to introduce clarity and self-motivation. I also teach techniques to better manage the emotional stress of everyday life.
My therapeutic technique varies based on your needs. I am trained in Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Exposure Response Prevention for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and mindfulness based Cognitive Behavior Therapy. I have received specialized training on OCD and Exposure Response Prevention (ERP) through NOCD.
