With my degree in Positive Psychology, it provides an evidence-based framework for our work together that focuses on your strengths to help you get from where you are to where you want to be. If you are experiencing symptoms that are preventing you from experiencing joy, or preventing you from fulfilling relationships, talk/psychotherapy provides a space to process past traumatic experiences that could be interfering with your relationships now. If you are not able to communicate effectively as a couple or with your child, couple and family sessions can help heal and reopen a dialogue that can lead to thriving.

Perhaps you feel overwhelmed and depleted from being pulled in many directions. You want to say no but find yourself saying yes instead, fearing that family and friends will get angry or be disappointed if you say no. You worry it may jeopardize your relationships if you do. Each time you think about setting a boundary, you feel anxious, or guilty, and sometimes even selfish for considering it. You want to live your own life. However, prioritizing yourself and honoring your own needs seems almost impossible. At times, you feel stuck, unable to know what you want, or focus on your life goals and dreams because you have little energy

Are you struggling with learning, anxiety, depression, and attention deficit and you need assessment right away? Or perhaps your child is too gifted and talented and not working to its potential with another failing report card on its way and it is clear that your child needs help. It leaves you completely overwhelmed, feeling like you are the only person trying to do anything about it as the school is letting it all happen. You see several struggles in reading, writing, organization, forgetting things learned, making the same mistakes over and over again? Do you wonder if your child needs IEP/504 or gifted education?

**Accepting new clients/Limited Availability** We all have the potential to grow and to achieve happiness and fulfillment in our lives. Sometimes this is not always an easy process. Life is full of challenges and some of them can be quite debilitating, impairing our ability to function. Regardless of whether you are experiencing a crisis (traumatic experience, relationship distress, divorce, grief) or desperately trying to change an old pattern of behavior, I am here to listen. I want to help you succeed and break free of whatever it may be causing you pain and suffering.

I graduated from South University in Florida with a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. When working with individuals, couples, adolescents, and families, I use strategies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Enhancement Therapy. I have years of expertise treating serious mental health problems, trauma, and addictions. In order to help clients and families make the healthiest and most proactive decisions for their lives, I will support, empower and motivate you to seek and achieve the goals you wish to set for yourself.

I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and substance abuse counseling. I have been in practice for more than 15 years. Through those years, I have helped hundreds of clients improve. I am certified in EMDR (an evidence based approach for trauma) and have specialized training in several advanced EMDR uses, including ones for trauma, pain, anxiety/panic/OCD/phobias, attachment injuries, complex trauma, substance abuse, and more. I am also trained in Brainspotting and Clinical Hypnosis (both heavily researched modalities for great results). I am a clinical supervisor for state intern therapists and supervisors in training.

Feeling stressed, anxious, depressed, or just stuck? You're not alone. As a practicing therapist since 2013, it is my goal to partner with you during life's challenging moments and to assist you in reaching your personal goals.

We all pass through stages in life that challenge us with difficult and untimely struggles. Sometimes these struggles are better met with a team approach. You don't have to face them alone. It is often difficult to take a first step toward help, yet, here you are, taking your first step toward healing, and that is a good thing. Whether you are seeking help for yourself or someone you love--taking a step toward help is a sign of strength, not weakness.

I believe that therapy is a personal journey. Therapy can offer you the opportunity to learn more about yourself and become more effective in engaging with life. If you want to reach a place where you can build fulfilling relationships with others and yourself, we can work together in achieving your goals.

Sick and tired of feeling sick and tired? Everything is connected! Including your body and mind. That means if you put unhealthy food in your belly, your quality of sleep will be affected...which will affect your mood. Same thing applies to thoughts. Negative thoughts lead to negative feelings as well as actions. I believe that all people have the ability to heal and grow especially with the guidance provided by a healthy therapeutic relationship. I understand the courage it takes to reach out for help and am committed to walking with you (at your pace) on your journey towards happiness and mental health. I am here to help.

If life’s struggles, relational issues, and negative feelings keep you feeling lost on a horizon with no sunshine, I am here to help you find your own unique path towards the light.

I am committed to providing you and your loved ones with a safe place to open up and uncover the hidden layers of beliefs, emotions, and events that are deep rooted in the problems that bring you in to see me.

Are you feeling disheartened, frustrated, or consumed by anger? Do you sense that no one truly cares or comprehends your struggles?

My specialization lies in guiding individuals through challenges related to relationships, anxiety, anger management, depression, and particularly, PTSD and trauma.

Do you struggle with understanding your emotions and behaviors? Do you feel like things are becoming out of control? Do you wonder how and when will I be able to manage all the stressors in my life? If so I can help you to process what is happening and feel relief so you can live the life you are meant to live. By understanding your emotions, behaviors, why you feel them, and what purpose they serve you can begin understand your needs, wants, and work towards living a more fulfilling life. I work from a client-centered and trauma-focused approach that helps you to understand yourself and figure out where you want to go from here.

Are you struggling to live up to your expectations for yourself? Feeling down, exhausted, lonely, or frustrated? If you are tired of feeling stuck in a negative emotional space and looking for some support, please reach out. I work with adults who are challenged by managing symptoms that result from depression, anxiety, a trauma history, substance use, and more. I practice using an eclectic style focused on your individualized needs - cognitive reframing, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness training, behavioral activation, and solutions focused interventions.

Are you going through major life changes? Have you been experiencing overwhelming feelings of sadness, grief, anger, anxiety, or fear? Do you battle with feelings of inadequacy, unworthiness  or self defeating thoughts? Do you have a history of trauma or unresolved conflict?  Is it hard for you to show vulnerability or ask for help? Do you feel alone? Do you need someone to talk to who will not judge your thoughts, feelings or experiences? Therapy is a space to find ones voice, tell ones story and to speak ones truth; a journey towards “I Matter, I am Worthy and I am Enough”.

Do your friends tell you that you need to cut down the amount you drink, or use? Often awake when you'll be asleep? Don't have enough energy to even eat sometimes? Are you often lonely and stressed? Are you often angry? Do you see or hear things other people don't see or hear? I can help you. My clinical style is to meet you where you're, understand your strengths, needs, weaknesses, stuck points and treat you considering the mind, body and spirit (Holistic). I apply respect, collaboration, encouragement, and sensitivity in working with clients. I take your cultural world view into consideration when working with you.

Employed in the field of social and mental health services for 30 years. Working in a variety of settings has offered me the opportunity to understand human behavior and in general what makes people tick. This may sound odd to the lay person but my vast working experiences in places like foster care, drug and alcohol, mobile mental health services to children in their own home has truly prepared me to get a really good sense of how to get to the root of the problem and provide the necessary support to clients not strictly coming from an academic viewpoint.
