I have been practicing as a therapist in Tampa Bay for over 20 years. I view each person as unique and the specific therapeutic technique chosen for the person depends upon the type problem presented and the specific needs. In the first session, problems are assessed and identified and goals are established and a specific plan to meet the goals is developed. My task as therapist is to teach the skills and knowledge needed so that my clients have the skills to be their "own therapists" when therapy is completed.

Unprocessed traumatic events produce overwhelming emotions causing distress and impairment to both your personal and professional life. I assist individuals in reprocessing negative core beliefs i.e., (“I’m damaged; I’m not good enough”) proven to decrease anger, anxiety & depression. I assist couples in identifying the problematic root cause of emotional distance by increasing their emotional accessibility, emotional responsiveness and emotional engagement with their partner. In a safe, nonjudgmental environment, I equip both individuals and couples with the proper skillset needed to get unstuck & return to a thriving life.

Are you concerned with aging? Or feeling overburdened by your caregiving responsibilities? There is a growing need for healthcare specific to the aging process. Yet in our current system, many older adults and their families are left with more questions than answers. Patients fear memory changes may be dementia. Caregivers feel isolated and overburdened. Unfortunately, many doctors do not have the time or resources to offer support for existential issues outside of their medical practice. As a result, individuals often become depressed or hopeless.

I strive to deliver compassionate counseling with sincere dedication to service, and to do so as efficiently as possible in order to help alleviate stress and anxiety, and encourage emotional independence. My practice is rooted in Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT). REBT, the pioneering form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ( CBT ), is a goal-oriented therapeutic approach that helps people to challenge and replace self-defeating beliefs with healthier alternatives. REBT is generally shorter-term, solution-focused, and present-centered which makes it an amazing choice for those who not only wish to FEEL better, but to GET better.

Are you struggling to adjust to life’s transitions? Do you often feel anxious, or panicky? Maybe you find yourself acting compulsively yet feel no relief.

Within the past 6 years, I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings across the psychology field from faith-based counseling, to domestic violence advocacy, and assisting behavior technicians at Rogers Behavioral Health.

I work with individuals and couples who are struggling. Though each struggle is unique, I operate from the standpoint that pain is universal. For the person that struggles to fully understand and express what they're feeling, for the teenager or young adult who struggles operating within the world they are inheriting, or for the couple that struggles to build or maintain friendship, love, or affection, recognizing and embracing those struggles are the first steps towards overcoming them. I work with those who want to feel more like themselves, and those who want to begin embodying the selves they aspire to be.
