I provide video telehealth and telephone appointments for residents throughout the state of Florida and accept a variety of insurance plans for Florida residents. Additionally, I accept self-pay clients within the states of Tennessee, Maryland, and New Hampshire. Are you having problems controlling anxiety and depression or experiencing other uncomfortable emotional issues? I provide support and guidance and have over 15 years of experience in the field of mental health. I am compassionate, non-judgmental, and down to earth.
Sometimes we can't control outside events, but we can change our perspective on difficult situations. This is the key to our well-being and happiness. I specialize in seeing persons over 40, seniors, assisting with women's issues, and supporting members of the LGBTQIA+ community with a variety of mood issues, grief/bereavement, and life transitions.
I utilitze Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Strength Based and Psychodynamic perspectives, as well as Mindfulness techniques, to assist you in reducing negative thoughts and feelings.
