Licensed in Florida and Alabama. Thank you for considering me to help you on your journey. I offer In-person & telehealth sessions for ages 11+. Reaching out for help is often the hardest step. Let’s make a plan and figure things out. I specialize in anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, relationship issues, parenting, teen issues, self confidence building, adjustment issues & goal setting. I also enjoy serving the Veteran population. Having served myself, I understand the VA disability process and have proven expertise in providing Independent Medical Opinions Nexus Letters for mental health. Let’s make a plan and get started.
Life is not always easy. It may be a stressful time where changes are occurring. You may feel stuck, like every day is the same and you can’t bring yourself out of it. Although family and friends may be a wonderful support, sometimes you need someone who is there just for you, a non-judgmental person to help. Taking the first step is always the hardest.
Change is hard, life can be difficult, I can help. I will be there to listen and we can make a plan together to get things back on track. I have 20 years experience as a high school teacher and school counselor and have also had the honor of serving in the US Air Force where I worked as a first responder. You can do hard things. Let’s get started.
