Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

I have provided leadership in program operations for several children's residential facilities and shelters and have supervised clinical therapies in acute residential treatment to those suffering from emergency psychiatric, emotional and behavioral problems, substance and sexual abuse and addictions.

I specialize in individual, couples, family therapy, mental health counseling, parenting skills, anxiety, self-harm, depression, addiction, suicidal thoughts, self-esteem, aggression, coping strategies, personality disorders and more. I am available for counseling Monday - Thursday mornings, afternoons, and evenings, and Friday mornings and afternoons. I offer HIPAA compliant Telehealth counseling.

Are life's challenges taking their toll? Are you feeling down and depressed or stressed, losing focus maintaining your daily activities, goals with self, family or work? These emotions can be overwhelming, but you are not alone, and I can help. I'm a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience. I received my Master’s degree in social work from Florida State University and am licensed since 1993. I provide therapy for adolescents, adults, and couples. I specialize in treating mood disorders, depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, bipolar disorder, substance abuse and other addictions, and compulsive behaviors.

I became a Marriage and Family Therapist because I enjoy processing with individuals and listening to personal journeys to find a resolution. I was a High School performance art major and find this skill set benefical in providing supports through visual cues using various therapeutic approaches and modalities. I specialize in working with children and families in child welfare. I enjoy working with young children and teens as these are challenging developmental years, trauma and distress from systemic and familial patterns of behaviors, coupled with low parenting, coping, decision-making and problem-solving skills.
