I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in the state of Florida. I transitioned into counseling after spending over 10 years in education. As a classroom instructor and as a tutor, I saw how much outside issues affected my students, whether they were in kindergarten or college. My background definitely shapes the way I work with my clients. I take into account the how people are shaped by their experiences, always keeping in mind that clients are doing the best they can. My job as a counselor is not to "fix" my clients-it's to provide a safe space to explore their concerns and help them learn to "do better."

At Lake Mary Counseling we help improve your relationship to where your feelings and needs are heard. Some can get stuck dismissing their partner without realizing that for women being heard is a need as we are circular thinkers and come to you our best friend to be heard and comforted.

We will work on healing, heard and reconnecting.

Practice FULL, NOT accepting new clients at this time. After 25+ years of experience, I have found that even during intense stress, struggles, pains, hurts, and failures, people are amazingly resilient. As a licensed psychotherapist, I consider all aspects of a person: mental, emotional, and physical health; faith and spiritual considerations; culture, and lifestyle. Working together, a focus emerges and the process begins that assists in gaining a clearer and deeper understanding of themselves and others, while experiencing a renewed purpose, meaning, and identity through their beliefs, values, and faith...a life worth living.
