Therapists in Orlando, FL

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor who approaches therapy from a solution-focused and strength-based perspective. I provide clients with a place for meaningful collaboration of ideas in order to find short and long-term solutions to problems. I specialize in working with children, couples, and families dealing with transitions, divorce, trauma, depression and anxiety.  I have experience with children, couples and families. I am an adoption competent therapist, parent coach, and skilled in helping children and families navigate life changes and struggles.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults, couples and families with a wide variety of issues and challenges. I especially enjoy working with children and teens, using sensory techniques and creativity through art, music, and play in sessions. I utilizes a person-centered and strengths-based integrative approach drawing from a number of different theories and techniques, as needed, to meet the individual needs of each client. I believe in holistic health, which focuses on the important connection between the mind and the body.

I believe everyone has a story to tell. Helping people tell their story can lead to healing. In addition to planning treatment, I believe the therapist's role is to partner with families to uncover the meaning behind the untold story. I currently work as a private practitioner covering a broad range of treatment concerns. My areas of specialty include relationship difficulties, childhood behavior disorders and parenting, as well as specialization with helping teens overcome social and behavior concerns. I also specialize in anxiety disorders, self-esteem and mood disorders.
